RE: rtfm? O9i on Win2000 ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072194626 )

Prefaced with the fact that I have only looked at the TOC and a small amount of content, I would say that our book focuses more on the insider, real world types of information valuable to people that want a deeper understanding of the database on windows, while Velpuri's book is more like a beginner's guide or overview of oracle on windows. Our book looks more into internals like the memory map of an Oracle process on windows, there's a good bit of platform agnostic content(e.g. chapter 2 and much of the networking chapter) written for the windows familiar user.

The book is also friendly to those of us more comfortable managing from the command line. I take a good chunk of space to make sure that the reader has the right resources and setup to do DBA work from the Windows command prompt (or use tools like cygwin and the MKS toolkit).

I hope this helps.

Dude,

re:

I just got your book from Amazon. Based a quick scan of TOC & about 1/4 of the pages, it looks excellent, and should result in a decrease in mental illnesses related to reading too much metastink and meandering bewildered through the vast maze of "official" Oracle documentation.

What do you see are the major differences between your book and:
