Customer Reviews

Very helpful for the SAP DBA

This book gave me a host of valuable information about the basic configuration of the SAP database for Oracle. As someone who was new to SAP, I did not have the time or the inclination to take an SAP course just to learn how to administer the Oracle database. I really liked the material, especially the SAP tuning tips for the DBA.

A really insightful SAP text

I have bought all of the SAP books, and this seems to be the only one that explains SAP in Plain English.I am an Oracle DBA, and this book was exactly what I needed. I do not want 500 pages of SAP internals, I just needed the basic concepts of SAP and how they apply to Oracle. This book was just right in that regard.I also found the tuning scripts to be great, especially the row re-sequencing information.

A Must have for SAP Oracle DBA!

Very focused, well written book. In depth view of Oracle RDBMS and SAP integration and administration. These days who has the time to read manual after manual to find answers. A must have if you are an Oracle DBA supporting SAP or wanting to learn how to support SAP R/3. Highly recommend.

Implementating SAP in Oracle

If you are the DBA or the person responsible for supporting SAP on an ORACLE database, this is a must read book. The book is filled with information that will help you hit the ground running. This book goes beyond the topic of SAP and covers Oracle concepts such as free lists that provide a foundation to better understand performance and tuning considerations. The examples provide sufficient implementation detail. The authors style of writing transforms the technical jargon into easy reading without losing the technical content. An easy to read reference manual.

Outstanding Content

This book is a great supplement to the SAP documentation. The best part of this book is that it doesn't waste pages discussing the Oracle or SAP basics. It was very useful for me on my first SAP implementation. The scripts are also very useful. Overall, an outstanding book.
