Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: An Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference?
Jonathan,
I think the a utilities pocket guide would be a great idea. There are
so many utilities available that I don't know what is available with out
a lot of researching and book reading.
Would the pocket guide include the DBMS. utilities also?
I also would like to pre production order a copy.
Thanks for the efforts you are putting forward to help our community.
Ron

Subject: An Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference?
Some of you may know that I work I work for O'Reilly Media, editing some of their Oracle titles. We've been batting around the idea of publishing an Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference. On the one hand, a small, concise book to remind one of the syntax for such utilities as oradebug, expdp, imp, sqlldr, orapwd, tkprof, and so forth seems like a useful thing. On the other hand, many of these utilities come with online help. For example, you can issue "exp help=3Dy" to get a quick summary of export options. Maybe a pocket reference would not add enough additional value to be worth its price.
So I'd like to put the question to all of you, would a utilities pocket reference be useful? Is it something you would be likely to buy and use? If you could have any pocket reference (or I guess any book for that matter) you wanted to make your DBA job easier, what would that be?
