• The Best, No Wasted Effort 25 September, 2006
All,
I have several hundred Oracle books, and have worked with Oracle for sixteen years. This book is beyond words, it is accurate, and most of all it is concise. Finally someone understands that you do not need to write a book over 800 pages for people to read it.
The real world examples, problem identification and remediation techniques are the best I have ever seen. I will buy Burleson/RAMPANT from now on.

• Worthless 31 March, 2008
I had high hopes for this volume - but as I get to know this series of books better those hopes are fading across the board. This is just a mess of ideas that could be picked up anywhere and that appear here without enough theory to justify experimenting with them, and some of the theory that is cited is simply wrong.

• Cuts To The Chase 25 November, 2005
This is a practical book and gives examples on how to tune your database when you can't touch the code. I found it to be well written and easy to understand with illustration on how silver bullets can save the day. I discovered that my optimizer settings were wrong and a fast change made a huge difference in my system. This is a book where a single tip makes it worth double the price.

• If Only Oracle Was A Werewolf 06 September, 2007
Who needs to understand the underlying mechanics of the system when you can just keep trying "solutions" until one works? If you like tinkering with production Oracle databases with no fear of consequences, by all means, have at it!

• Informative 16 May, 2008
My first experience reading Rampant books was with Steve Karam and Robert Freeman's Easy Oracle Jumpstart, some time ago. It was a good start, but I wanted to roll up my sleeves and get down and dirty with Oracle. I bought this book to learn different approaches to solving problems in my own test/development environment. I felt that it really helped out during my learning process. The book provided me with a better overall understanding of Oracle tuning. While not for beginners, this book has valuable information for anyone who wants to learn some new tricks.
