Summary: LDAP? LDAP? Where? Not Here!!
Review: I am a seasoned DBA, hoping to have gotten some light on setting up OID for LDAP. However the book only addresses CLIENT configuration. Not OID server setup itself!!!! Yet they have proudly displayed the LDAP banner up front. It's good for people who want basics, but not for DBAs. Don't buy it, you can read the online documentation.

Summary: Great book on Oracle Net8
Review: I especially liked the chapters on MTS and Net8 Failover and Load Balancing. I would like more indepth coverage of LDAP. The chapter on Oracle Names is not needed anymore.

Summary: Great book for Nat8 management
Review: I really found this text to be quite useful for managing a SQL*Net and Net8 environment. All of the details are explained in a clear fashion and the text is very comprehensive and complete. Overall, this is a suberb treatment of a complex subject.

Summary: Wonderful Presentation
Review: Oracle Net8 is very thorough in my opinion. Not only is the book set up in a concise and easy to understand manner, it also presents examples, walk-throughs and illustrations. I am by no means a seasoned DBA, however, the explanations are worded so thateven the beginner is able to understand.

Summary: Oracle Net8 A Good Book to be on desk.
Review: Oreilly knows how to make a difference when they get a book out on a topic. This book really stands out on certain day to day practical topics. For Eg: It has been specially metioned that the trace file name while configuring through Net8 is to be given as "Tracefilename" on Windows platform. Net 8 will add the extension of ".trc" while creating the file, where as on Unix it's "filename.trc". Else it would result in "filename.trc.trc" on windows. I have tested this and it really is the same way. Such simple things are also were not left out. Net 8 is one topic on which little number of books are found. You can just count the number of books written on this topic. And Oreilly has done a good job by bringing out a book long waited for. If one were to get a good understading about Oracle's Networking technologies One must read this book. Sure I'm going to buy some more from Oreilly.

Summary: Best and only book out there for Oracle Networking
Review: This book is a one-stop book about everything you need to know about Oracle Networking. For a very long time there was not a decent book out there on Oracle networking and it is a very wide topic. The authors have done a great job giving intricate details. This book is the most marked up book of all Oracle books I have. My only complaint is about LDAP. The authors could have covered deeper in this subject.
