1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish!, 5 Feb 2003
OK, I'm an experienced Unix administrator and I bought this book to give me a headstart on some Oracle 9i databases we're about to start installing...

Big mistake! I read the first 50 pages and was scared to read any more. Luckily, I know Unix very well and was able to piece together what the author was trying to get at, but had I been a DBA, I would have been in real trouble. The problem I have is that because the Unix information is wildly inaccurate, how can I trust the Oracle information? Answer: I can't!

There are fundamental flaws with the way this book refers to unix commands and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This is a real shame, because the idea had a lot of promise...

5.0 out of 5 stars I think this book is excellent, 7 Jun 2006
By Dr. Sofia Korsavva "Sofia" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a unix systems administrator for 20 years. Although I knew all the commands mentioned in the book I still found it very useful because of the organisation and delivery of information.

I think that it is an absolute must for any Oracle DBA.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Book., 15 Nov 2007
By R. ARMSTRONG-FINNERTY (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book when I moved jobs: I went from being an Oracle DBA at a Windows site to a Windows/Solaris/Linux site, and needed some UNIX skills fast. This book is helpful and the ideas it presents are useful.

I am not aware of any scripts in the book that fail, but haven't tested them all; maybe the reviewer who said the book was rubbish ran a Linux script in a Solaris environment, or something like that?
