This book provides comprehensive coverage of the features, technology and principles of RAC that is part of the Oracle9i release of Oracle's RDBMS product. It is divided into three main parts: application/database design, development and maintenance life cycles. Compared to its predecessor OPS, the architecture behind RAC implementation have changed significantly. Vallath discusses Oracle9i features in a RAC implementation with respect to usage and design considerations, as well as those parameters that are and are not applicable. Areas covered include partitioning, indexes, tablespace management, transaction management, backup and recovery principles. Performance tuning with examples, troubleshooting and problem solving scenarios are covered in detail, as well as discussions on the migration process from a single instance database to RAC and migration from an OPS implementation to RAC. Oracle Real Application Clusters takes readers through a logical flow from RAC concepts to operations, covering each facet with a fine-tooth comb. Vallath's skilled writing style makes each chapter entertaining and informative as only a true RAC connoisseur can provide. New and experienced users of RAC, as well as those seeking to expand their knowledge of this dynamic technology, will find this book to be a necessity for both home and office reference libraries. *Focuses on implementing, testing and tuning features of Real Application Clusters (RAC) *Provides extensive coverage of usage, day-to-day functions and operations *Includes tips and techniques such as script samples to illustrate various features of RAC *Unravels the internals of RAC architecture User review A lot of nothing The only thing good about this book is probably the marketing. Only about 100 (out of almost 800) pages should be there in such a book. The rest is all fluff and wastes time on basic things like `parallel processing`, OEM. Too much time is spent on basic things and the real important things are either skipped over or explained using poor examples. Enough discussion of performance, recover techniques, cluster internals etc is NOT done. User review Unimpressive, Repetitive and Possibly Flat Out Wrong,,,, This book has 780 pages and content that could fit into about 250. Much time and energy is spent on subject matter which anyone who intends to mess with Real Application Clusters should already be familiar with, such as 'What is parallel processing, 'backup and recovery' and 'Using OEM'. Read the manuals instead. User review better to read oracle doc on RAC This book is really not special. Why the author still try to cover so many topics that are not really related to RAC? I'm thinking that oracle documentation is better to read, beside it's free. If you have already familiar with oracle architecture, and have some exposure to RAC env, you will feel dissatisfied buying this book. User review not good grid and rac topics I did not find the clusters information to be as deep as the Madhu Tumma book by far. I liked the Tumma book far better in my opinion. User review Excellent comprehensive book! The first book that explains the why, when and how part of RAC. I have understood and enjoyed every piece of this book, great reading, great coverage and very well explained content. The author has explained with great amount of detail, covering internals of RAC architecture. All chapters from basic Oracle fundamentals to performance tuning and high availability features are explained in a clear manner Excellent buy. I will recommend this to anyone currently working or planning to use RAC. Other books on Oracle |
