What Others Say
Doesn't get any better....
I've been a Database guy for some 12 year now since graduating. I've worked on numerous large projects involving complex database problems. Effective Oracle by Design (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) is THE most well read, THE most frequently referenced book in my collection. It's well written and is THE best learning + refresher guide out there.
Fabulous
the book will teach basic Oracle things and clear the misconcepts, myths and mis understanding prevailing amongst numerous Oracle users.
I am still to finish Effective Oracle by Design (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) fully, but so far I am so enlightened by reading the first 3 topics of the book.
I recommend to all who are related to Oracle Database to go through Effective Oracle by Design (Osborne ORACLE Press Series), which would be very very helpful in understanding the Oracle Database. Also, it would make Oracle a fun to work with instead of huge and cumbersome tool which is the picture in majority of people's mind.
If only all Oracle books were this good
Effective Oracle by Design (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) delivers the clear insight before delving into intricate details on a good selection of topics that are critical to those concerned with deigning and implementating high performance database solutions.
My only wish is that Effective Oracle by Design (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) covered more ground, especially on newer or perhaps peripheral topics such as RAC, ASM, XMLDB, OCI/OCCI, DataGuard and so on.. but maybe that's asking too much from one book.
Classic Tom Kyte. Get it on your bookshelf today if you implement or support Oracle database solutions for a living.
Benchmark it..
Tom has done a great job at busting several myths related to performance tuning, SQL, Architechture etc..
I think the entire book can be summarized in 4 words "Dont think just benchmark!"
Well-written and packed with useful information
I've been an Oracle developer for 12 years, and this is the best book on Oracle that I've read. No waffle, well laid out and it's packed with information and relevant examples. I found it extremely useful for a complex piece of work I was doing recently - it paid for itself several times over. 5 stars !
