Excellent Book - Used Time and Time Again

This was one of the first Oracle DBA books I read and it was excellent. I have written numerous DBA admin and repair scripts that run in NT 'AT' jobs at night and this book gave me a great start. The book is well written and the scripts were instantly useful. This book along with a few others is one of the best around and I use it nearly every day. This book blows away the 'Oracle Scripts' book by O'Reilly (although their SQLPlus book is very good.)

Excellent addition to DBA tool box!

This book has saved me several hours of work. The text is well thought out and well laid out so the precise script you are looking for can be easily found. Also, the annotations are clear and meaningful to the point where extending the functionality of the scripts (which is rare considering the depth and bredth of the script catalog) is simple enough that my Junior DBAs had no trouble doing so. If this isn't in a DBAs book shelf, it should be!

Finally, a useful Oracle book

So many of the books out there are just beginner material, this is the first one I've found that shows how to do coding well. The format walks you through the material so you can pick up tricks and techniques as you go along. Plus the examples actually work.

My wife "borrowed" my copy and won't return it. I was forced to buy a second copy. Great resource.

I have been waiting a long time for this title.

Finally some book worth of every penny. This title is categorized in our company as "MUST HAVE". I will highly recommend it to every Oracle DBA or developer on this planet. After few month of using it I can honestly say it is most useful book from my Oracle library.
