Product Description

Product Description

Appropriate for any database course using Oracle on UNIX systems.

More Oracle databases are deployed on UNIX systems than any other platform, yet most books on Oracle database administration largely ignore the UNIX platform. This book focuses exclusively on Oracle database administration in UNIX environments. This concise introduction to Oracle database administration on UNIX systems requires no prior database experience.

1.0 out of 5 stars Reader from Phialdelphia is wrong, 27 April 1999
By A Customer
If you are running in archive mode, with a cold backup, you can recover up to the point of failure. It gets its information from the redo log files and archive redo log files. You only need to use a hot backup if the database needs to be running 24hrs. The book gives the impression that archived log files are purely in relation to hot backups. Rolling forward from cold backups is the commonest production scenario. I would recommend the book Oracle 8 Backup and Recovery Handbook by Rama Velpuri. for an accurate description of backup and recovery.

1.0 out of 5 stars Section on Backup / Recovery is wrong, 29 Jun 1998
By A Customer
The section on Backup / Recovey (one of the most important tasks of a DBA) is wrong. It is stated that during a recovery from cold backup, data entered between the time of the last backup and the time when the database was restored is lost. If using archive mode (which most production systems use), you can recover up to the point of failure with a cold or hot backup.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book is not worth paper it's printed on!!, 17 April 1999
By A Customer
This book is completely worthless! The author is a typical educator, NO practical experience, he gives very little practical advice, if any. You would be better off with Oracle's documentation CD. Also, what's up with 300+ pages? the trash only has 180+!
