If you're looking for tested, documented scripts that apply to almost every database, this book will meet your needs. The scripts are documented in detail, and are shown with sample output and interpretations of the output. You can use the scripts in the book to tune, administer, or develop applications and databases. The scripts are organized into chapters by function. Chapters include Transaction Management, Space Management, and Data Management. The scripts throughout most of the book apply to both Oracle7 and Oracle8; the scripts in Chapter 1 are specific to Oracle8 objects such as partitions and abstract datatypes. By presenting the scripts with so much commentary, the authors (Kevin Loney and Rachel Carmichael) aim to make it easy for you to implement, understand, and customize the scripts to fit your needs.

A DBA toolkit, invaluable for anyone who wants to learn more about what's going on in the database than you can get with a graphical tool.
The scripts are usefull, well documented and provide enough background for you to customise them for your own needs.
Not as usefull on later features of 8i/Oracle 9i, there is a later book 'Instant PL/SQL Scripts' which may be a better bet.

This SQL Archives book is one of the best Oracle books around. The authors have a knack for identifying with the reader, presenting everything the reader needs to understand the topics.

My wife "borrowed" my copy and won't return it. I was forced to buy a second copy. Great resource.
