Summary: great comprehensive book
Comment: This is a wonderful book which covers all the aspects of Oracle, including all the interfaces with Oracle. A really excellent book for DBAs and Programmer Analysts.

Summary: Great Intro to Oracle8i for Solaris Admins
Comment: As a Solaris admin I have little knowledge of Oracle. I really did not want to know much either. However, I must know something of it's design and layout. I also need to know what services/daemons do what. However, all the books I found covered Oracle on NT/2000. Who in their right mind would do such a thing! Anyway, this book as sufficient coverage of Oracle on Solaris that it helped get me up to speed on Oracle enough to understand an Oracle DBA when they speak!

Summary: Absolute AVOID this one
Comment: This is a typical Que effort, probably written in about 4 days, by paraphrasing pre-existing materials, including documentation you receive with the software. Also not updated for 8i, they added a few paragraphs at the beginning about new features, but didn't work through those features in the rest of the book. Poorly indexed, poorly edited (both as to explanations and # typos), way too many screen shots, just way too big.
