a lot of bugs! - not worthy
I reviewed this book and I found a looooot of bugs in there. Nobody bothered to check if all queries are ok.
Examples? Here you are:
command: rmdir -r newdir
should be: rm -r newdir

another here: SELECT name FROM sys.obj$ WHERE obj#='4916681';
should be: SELECT name FROM sys.obj$ WHERE dataobj#='4916681';

it is only a couple of first pages. I am scared what gonna be later,,.

Exellent guide for beginners.
A good book for a reader that did not attend Oracle courses or lack an expertise in several fields, definitely not a study textbook, but a reference for already working DBA.

User review
read one month before taking the class, at lease
read one month before taking the class, at lease, because it's not a 1200 pages book full of snapshot, but full of characters. good for students who never touch the Unix/Linux subject

Probably the Best book on Oracle DBA,,
Guys,,
This is it. I have 2 other DBA books that i use to refer. I sold them on Ebay, and bought this book. This is the only book that i have on my desk. It got everything from Basics like 1NF ( first Normalization) to PL/SQL packages.
Time spent reading this book is worth it. Thanks Sam for Wondeful book.

What a book
I knew this book for a long time and i am so lucky to get it,,. it explain stuff in a very nice and sequential way, the best about it is that it trains the DBA to use command line at all time,,,,.
