Product Description
Product Description
This volume targets current and new users of Oracle8 Server that plan to work with the upcoming release of this database server. Specially, the book explains the software concepts that database server administrators and application developers need to understand to work with Oracle8. The book design has two primary goals. First, the book is a basic/intermediate-level presentation of the primary concepts and software architecture of Oracle8. After reading the book, any type of Oracle8 user should have a solid, big-picture understanding of how Oracle8 fits into the world of serious data management applications. Second, the book is a practical planning guide that should help a current Oracle Server user prepare to migrate Oracle7 databases and corresponding database applications to the next generation server.

This is a really great book for the on who wants to know how the Oracle 8.0 DBMS works, and understand how it can be so good.
It's a really great book for the one who "needs" to know more ... Although, it's important to know that this's not a practical book, it's a completely theorical one. So you must know what you're looking for, not to become disappointed.
Format:Paperback
I have a DB2 kernel background and I found the book very useful to understand how the competition is doing.

Great Book
22 Aug 1998
Format:Paperback
Some people are so used to bad Oracle books they honestly can't imagine what a good one would be like. This book is well written and clear. The author has a complete grasp of the subject.
Before purchasing this book, however, you should know what it covers -- the internal architecture of Oracle. This is a book for Oracle DBA's. It is not a quick overview. The author provides a fairly complete picture. Because it is well written most people will understand the material right away.
You should also know what this book is not. It does not get into the nuts and bolts commands a DBA will use on a day to day basis.
Although it is tempting to say this book deals with theory, it is actually practical. Every Oracle DBA needs to know what is in this book. Too many Oracle DBA books jump into detail without providing a grounding in how Oracle works. This is the book to have if you want to see what's going on inside Oracle.

Pieces it all together
17 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This book pieces everything together in Oracle & why it gives no concrete (hence the theoretical below) queries, you will understand Oracle very well. You can then get some other book to give you the hands on you will need.
