• Excellent Reference & Useful Office Resource 05 February, 2008
This book has helped me impress my colleagues and boss..I originally browsed through it at Border's (and found myself sitting on the ground with a notepad scrambling to copy as much as possible)..of course, then I realized I had to have it, so I bought it online..I knew the publisher was a trustworthy source because I'm always using Don Burleson's DBA tips online.. this author's approach is easy-to-follow and concise; yet it's a thorough guide that is like a catalyst for your own creativity...it has made me look forward to extracting the power of the shell.
It's a lot better than parsing through thick UNIX encyclopedias or cycling through fragmented online material..as an OCP 10g/9i DBA, I still feel like there are not enough practical day-to-day guides like this one for junior/mid/senior-level administrators, since over half our work is directly/indirectly connected to the shell.

• Excellent Read 07 April, 2008
Oracle administrators of all levels will find benefit in this book. The author has put together the basics in shell scripting and OS fundamentals in aid of maintaining and monitoring scalable production Oracle environments. Each example is easy to read and follow and leaves the reader with room to explore and extrapolate on their own with little effort. A great lookup source for old timers and "must have" for newbies,
I highly recommend this book

• Oracle Shell Scripting 09 May, 2008
My first impression of "Oracle Shell Scripting" was not a good one. After looking for the download site for the scripts in the book I was frustrated. The first chapters seemed a little rudimentary. This book is not a learn how to script book. The first five chapters give a scripting refresher. If you have no experience with korn, or bash scripting this is not the book to start with. If you have used Oracle on UNIX/Linux this books puts all those nuggets you have gathered over the years and some you have missed in one place. This book has scripts that you use in every day DBA work. This book deals with Oracle, sqlplus and UNIX/Linux scripting. I bought this book to help me transition from korn scripting in Solaris UNIX to bash scripting in Linux. I consider it worth the investment. Caution avoid the frustration of looking for the script download website. It is not in the book. You have to email the author to get the site. There is not enough information on using scripting with Oracle Application Server.

• From The Editor: 10 December, 2007
As the series editor for this book, I recognize the need for Oracle professionals to "think outside the box", and a good command of UNIX and Linux command syntax and scripting is critical for the effective management of complex server environments. As a working Oracle professional I'm always using Oracle shell scripts to perform external management tasks, and it is very difficult for beginners to grasp the cryptic syntax and language structures of the UNIX shell command languages.
During the production of this book I insisted that each and every topic be clear and understandable, with a focus on providing a clear understanding of the functionality of Oracle scripting. I think that Jon and Zach met their mandate, and I'm especially pleased with the code depot of working Oracle scripts.
