It's reading is easy ç, since the book contains the basics that an oracle dba need to know in order to begin working with unix as soon as possible.

Great book - comes thru every time

Originally being an NT oracle dba, this book time and again gives just what I need know for the Unix environment. After using the book for a year, now (it just saved me again), I just want others to know this book is worth it.

Super book for UNIX and Oracle

I was very impressed with this book. I am always forgetting UNIX command syntax, and this book helped me to remember the commands that I need. It also has lot's of great tips, and techniques for managing Oracle. Overall, this is one of my most-used Oracle books! Highly recommended.

Critically important for the UNIX Oracle DBA

This book is loaded with the information needed by the DBA in the UNIX environment. There are many scripts with description of the commands and what they are doing. I like the way commands, used on other UNIX platforms (Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc), are included. I am delighted this book provided commands that are new to me, and provide critical information that was previously unavailable.

Outstanding UNIX book for the DBA

This book is great for understanding how to write UNIX scripts for managing Oracle in UNIX. Many of the scripts are easy to run, and there are excellent examples to show how to write customized UNIX sctipts. This book really simplifies UNIX and concentrates on the UNIX that I need to know as the DBA. It is easy to read and a very useful reference book.
