Okay Rachel....u have me convinced there....I am adding the 101 book to
my shelf !!
I said *some* of the masters of Oracle....I do realize that there r lots
of other masters of Oracle who do not work for TUSC.
Yep...Alomari's book does deal more on OS tuning for Oracle but don't u
think
that much of our tuning efforts always go towards the database whereas the
real
focus should b directed on the OS which houses Oracle....of course, it
depends
on case-to-case basis but I have come across so many DBAs who always think
that
the problem is with the database rather than otherwise. Other than Alomari's
book,
I haven't come across any other book which explains so well the way Oracle
works
within the OS kernel, thats the reason I thought anybody working on Oracle
on Unix
needs that book.

I didn't say Rich's book is bad, just that if you could only buy one,
I'd buy the 101 book. It's written in a more "friendly" style than the
other one, mostly because that's the goal of the 101 series.
Of course, since I did some of the editing on the book, I'm prejudiced
(and no, I don't get any money if more copies sell)
define "masters of Oracle" -- there are a heck of lot of incredibly
brilliant Oracle users (developers and DBAs) who don't work for TUSC
As for Alomari's book -- it deals more with OS tuning for Oracle than
for performance tuning within the database.
