Oracle and Unix Performance Tuning

Rating:
Summary: Best Oracle tuning book I have read so far...
Review: After hearing the author speak at Oracle Open World in 1997, I bought his book. There are alot of details covered in his book that the oracle documentation specific to the Unix platform doesn't address. The book assumes a working knowlege of both Oracle and Unix. I would recommend it for System Administators who support systems that run Oracle and DBA's who need more performance tips for their platform.

Rating:
Summary: Very Good
Review: Excellent for those well versed in Unix. The index could have been better though. Definitely for those with some prior experience as Unix admin and DBA.

Review: If you are a DBA this book belongs on your shelf. It is packed with platform specific information as well as sage advice from a seasoned veteran of performance tuning.

Rating:
Summary: Ideally for System Administrators
Review: This is a good book for UNIX system administrators who support Oracle systems. However, unless you are an Oracle DBA who is really interested in UNIX internals, this book is not for you.
