Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:

Product Description
The Oracle database is one of the most popular in the world, and for good reason. It's compatible, scalable, portable, and capable of performing incredibly fast. The advantages Oracle holds over its competition come with a price, however--it's a highly complex database that's becoming more complex with every release. And this level of detail, of course, can begin to weigh on database administrators (DBAs).

Fortunately, the Oracle DBA Pocket Guide from O'Reilly is on the case. This handy reference is designed to help administrators make more effective use of their time by presenting a compact summary of DBA tasks in an easy-to-use form. With this book by your side, you'll have instant access to the most important concepts, best practices, tips, and checklists. Key topics include architecture, installation, configuration, tuning, and backup/recovery. Everything that you absolutely must know to do your job well is right there at your fingertips.

Moreover, the Oracle DBA Pocket Guide covers Oracle Database 9i, as well as its latest release, Oracle Database 10g. The first database designed for enterprising grid computing, Oracle Database 10g significantly reduces the cost of managing the IT environment with a simplified install, reduced configuration and management requirements, and automatic performance diagnosis and SQL tuning.

The latest in O'Reilly's line of bestselling Oracle titles, this book is an invaluable companion for any database administrator--new or experienced--interested in reviewing core Oracle concepts at a glance.

 • Not A Very Useful Book....
14 July, 2008

I bought this book hoping for a pithy, comprehensive, quick-reference guide to Oracle DBA commands and syntax. If you've ever used Rob Verschoor's superb Sybase DBA guides you'll know what I mean. Instead it's a rather odd collection of general paragraphs giving high-level overviews of a limited range of topics (many of which ought to be covered in more detail and in a larger book), coupled with other sections covering strange subsets of syntax, by no means completely, which are seemingly chosen and presented at random. There ARE some nice bits if you dig through it BUT if you're looking for that one book you'll carry everywhere, refer to everyday and eventually falls apart with overuse (like your usual O'Reilly book...) you may be very disappointed. I'm sorry to say I've found Google and Oracle's own documentation to be much more useful for day-to-day DBA work and can only hope Mr. Verschoor starts writing Oracle books sometime soon... This one sits on my shelf gathering dust.

 • Odd Selection Of Topics
18 June, 2007

I bought this book on a whim at a bookstore because it claimed to include "quick reference" info on performance. I found that area seriously lacking... I thought it odd to have sections on installation and planning in here. Hopefully one does not make such decisions with only a pocket guide as a reference. That section could be shortened to a few pages of warnings and a few URLs. The backup and recovery section was great, but it could be shortened up about 5 pages. Same for the security section. With the extra space, I would put in at least 15 pages on performance tuning. The data dictionary quick reference is very useful, and if it weren't for that I would probably have given this book away.

 • This Is A Good One
26 August, 2005

Not all of the pocket guides work, but this one does. This topic is just right for this style of book. This a quick reference to all of the syntax that you need for DBA work on a daily basis. Definitely worth the money if administration of Oracle installations is your job.

 • All Your Common Oracle Tasks In One Place
30 March, 2007

This pocket guide is great for quickly looking up syntax and usage of all the common Oracle DBA commands. If you are a seasoned Oracle DBA and you have it all memorized it might be of limited help, but if your like me where you are primarily a software developer then it's great. It covers everything from installation to backup and recovery. This is not a book to learn Oracle from, but for a quick reference to jog your memory it's great.
