Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle books
Just to throw in my 2 cents (and you owe me a penny back), some good references that I have read include:
Practical Oracle8i - Jonathan Lewis
Great look at the features of Oracle 8i from high up: not an
incredibly technical book but a refreshing read
Oracle Performance Tuning Tips & Techniques - Niemiec
Excellent for tuning suggestions
Oracle 8i Complete Reference
If you write any SQL or PL/SQL procedures, you want this book on
your desk
Books I have on my desk to read that we're reviewed positively on Amazon:
Oracle8i Administration & Management - Ault
Oracle SQL High Performance Tuning - Harrison
Books I have yet to get that I understand are excellent:
Oracle8i DBA Tips & Techniques
And a book to stay away from:
Oracle DBA Handbook
I have it on my desk and very rarely have I found an answer to
my question in that book
Hope that helps a little bit....

It kinda depends on your environment, but I like:
Oracle8i DBA Handbook
Oracle Press
Oracle8i Backup and Recovery
Oracle Press
Oracle 24x7 Tips and Techniques
Oracle Press
Oracle Networking 101
Oracle Press
Oracle Documentation
http://otn.oracle.com
This covers much of the core Oracle DBA stuff. For some advanced topics:
Oracle Internal Services: Waits, Latches...
Steve Adams
O'Reilly
Unix for Oracle
Don Burleson
O'Reilly
(Can't remember exact name) Oracle Performance Tuning
Guy Harrison
(Publisher?)
Haven't read book yet, but looks good:
Oracle STATS Pack
Don Burleson
Oracle Press
Hope that helps

Being a relatively new and often times struggling Oracle DBA I was
wondering
what 3 or 4 books everyone recommends as a must have reference/knowledge
base in day to day support/programming of their databases.
