• Must Read For Dbas Supporting Rac 29 December, 2007
I had the fortune to work with Gopal on a RAC troubleshooting project. While a book cannot replace the real person it is a good summary of his experiences learned over many customer engagements.
The book covers all aspects of RAC from the history lesson and installation overview, to locking and even extended RAC. My favorite chapters are 10 "RAC Performance Management" and 14 "RAC Troubleshooting". They should be mandatory reading for any DBA supporting RAC. Require your developers to read chapter 16 "Developing Applications for RAC" before they start coding.

• Best Internals Coverage Yet For Oracle 10g Rac 08 January, 2008
By far one of my favorite books on RAC internals.
I especially like the section on Cache Fusion and how locking works with Oracle 10g RAC and OPS.
My only request is that it covered more details on command line utilities but other books cover that so not that big of a deal.
It really is the guru internals guide to RAC for consultants!
I have the other book by Gopal on Oracle 10g Wait tuning and that is a great tech reference as well.

• Deep On Some Topics 07 December, 2007
On some of the topics this book is excellent.Looks like this book focussed on topics those are not covered in other books or manuals.
I suggest first read some simple installation and administration manuals.
Later refer this book for specific information.Then you can take more from this book.
THanks,
Mansoor.

• Gopalakrishnan Does It Again.. 02 July, 2008
RAC Handbook is an excellent RAC book for new and experienced DBAs. The book is not one of the several 600 page RAC books that contain pages of not-so valuable information. The RAC Handbook is around 400 pages and it is packed with excellent detail on how to install RAC and troubleshoot common performance issues. The author of this book, K Gopalakrishnan is also the author of "Oracle Wait Interface: A Practical Guilde to Performance Diagnostics & Tuning" by Oracle Press. This book won an Oracle award and it one of the best performance tuning books. The RAC Handbook features an excellent chapter on Cache Fusion and several easy to understand examples of how blocks are transferred amongst multiple nodes. The RAC Handbook also has a decent chapter on ASM which could have been a little longer and could have gone into more detail. The chapter on RAC installation will walk you though using the cluster verify utilities which can and will alleviate many headaches that can be experienced during a RAC installation. This book is a great read for anyone that wants to build their RAC skills. Gopalakrishnan is an excellent author and I trust his research.

• Well Written And Thorough. Readable Beyond Its Technical Complexities. 24 July, 2008
I borrowed a copy of the book from my coworker. It's probably one of the few technical books I actually enjoyed reading. Besides providing a good technical foundation to RAC, it also includes business and historical perspectives to High Availability and Redundancy. Gives you the arsenal to understand CRS, ASM, and GES (some of the most difficult aspects of Oracle Clustering), and provides you with information on proper RAC performance tuning. I bought the book from Amazon to read AGAIN because I actually enjoyed reading it the first time. I learned a lot from this book.
