Re: oracle dba and tuning books

On Sat, 21 Jul 2001,Jon Walthour scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->Personally, for tuning, I would suggest "Oracle Performance Tuning Tips
->and Techniques" by Richard Niemac, et. al. In the DBA arena, I've never
->really found a good book that I could wholeheartedly recommend (sorry,
->Rachael, I've not gotten around to reading your book yet).

i have so i'll recommend it. ;-) i have used it to help train my junior DBA, and use it myself to look up things i don't do a lot. very useful book.

i also like the tuning 101 book. covers all that you need to know and give you a method to apply.

You gotta program like you don't need the money,
You gotta compile like you'll never get hurt,
You gotta run like there's nobody watching,
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.

If a program is useful, it must be changed.
