Summary: Excellent book - not for beginners
Review: Here Oracle Internals refers to the Internal Code that you would not find in the sea of sameness on the books on Oracle. Oracle has matured as a technology and there are quite a few seasoned people out there. The book is targetted towards them. So if you are tired of reading select * from dual queries and want to see some industrial strength code go for this one. nice job

Summary: An excellent collection of Oracle tips
Review: I generally don't like "collection" books, but this book was an exception. The topics are organized in a straightforward way and it is easy to skim the text looking for new information. While not every article was of interest to me, there were lot's of real gems in the collection. I now understand Oracle internals far better than before.

Summary: This book has a wrong title, how can the content be right ?
Review: I have heard about a book "oracle internals" and I was curious to learn whats going on inside oracle; Instead, if I skim the table of contents I find that its a tohuwabohu of tips and tricks for everybody and noone.Nothing about internals just the usual stuff you can find everywhere. The title of this book is deceptive, I fear the content will be too and I will never buy (less read) it !

Summary: Really great insights in this one
Review: I was very impressed with the insights in this text. While the text is a mish-mosh of sundry topics, the contributors to this book include the best in the business, including Mike Ault, Brad Brown, and John Beresneicwz. There are really great article on the internal mechanisms of object management (freelists internals), buffer cache internals, and the internals of the shared pool (Mike Ault). These article alone were worth the price of the book, IMHO.
