Summary: * * * *A Must Have book * * * *
Review: A very comprehensive and good quality book. I agree with the previous reviewers that the book is a must-have for Oracle DBAs. I have found coverage on some critical areas of RDBMS management to be very helpful. It has added to my arsenal a lot of new and useful techniques. Also the information about Oracle 8i was helpful for me. I thank Sumit for taking the time to share with us this wealth of knowledge.

Summary: Very useful book for Oracle beginers and advanced users
Review: Concise chapters, clear and candid presentation makes it easy to read. Ready reference book always in the book shelf at the worksite. Scripts are missing on the web site mentioned in the book. It would be nice to have them. It will be a good investment on the book.

Summary: An Excellent collection of tips and techniques
Review: Excellent review of database administration areas that you may come accross while performing a variety of tasks that even the Oracle documentation fails to point out. Also, an effective study tool for Oracle certification. Worth the money, for sure.

Summary: That poor binding quality is quite true
Review: Good books should have good binding. Good books that fall apart at the center become worthless books. My SQL developer's guide split in 2 with 20 pages falling out and then one of the halves split in 2 again so I now have 3 pieces of book with 30 or so loose pages.

Summary: Excellent Book for an Oracle Software Professional
Review: I have several books on Oracle 8i but "ORACLE DBA TIPS & Techniques" By Sumit Sarin is one of the best. If you want to know how the Oracle Server works or want to learn about the new features that ORACLE 8i has or tune your existing DB, this book gives you a very good lead.

Summary: A Must Have -- But Poor Build Quality
Review: This book is an absolute must for the Oracle DBA. Sarin provides clear and practical information on every significant area of Oracle database administration. The Osborne Tips & Tricks series books are the best on the market. Buy this book along with Richard Niemic's Performance Tuning and Joeseph Trezzo's PL/SQL, and your Oracle library is virtually complete. One thing that really irks me about this book and all of the Osborne Tips and Tricks books that I've purchased: the bind qulity is quite poor. The pages are falling out after the first week.
