Re: Good Oracle DBA book

Mike -

I recommend your fine book to anyone who asks and lots of people who don't. I regularly use it and the scripts contained therein to do my daily work, and I wish that I had more time to explore in depth some of the more obscure (well, at least to me) topics that you discuss.

You'll be happy to know that I find your book whenever I peruse the shelves of my local mass-market booksellers (B&N, Borders, etc.), and so it seems as though your agent is doing a fair job of getting it out there for the public to see.

I just love your writing, Mike. Keep up the good work! Please?

Thanks,
TG
