RE: Optimal DBA Library and recommendations to similar published

One of the challenges in writing that paper/presentation was the lack of material available. Much of what you see was gleaned from oracle documentation, white papers, presentations, metalink, orafaq.com, orageeks.com, colleagues, questions at presentations, material from classes, and my own 'I wonder if this is possible?'. There is also a very healthy dose of things I have learned over the years, but have forgotten the source.

I have used 'Oracle The Complete Reference' as my main training text and am happy with it, of course it covers more than just SQL. I spent several hours looking through books like 'SQL For Smarties', but was not very impressed (I don't recall exactly why...its been a couple of years). There are several books that were published since I first wrote the paper. 'Mastering Oracle SQL' and 'Oracle SQL:The Essential Reference' have pretty good reviews at amazon.com.

Hello All

        I was reading Dan Finks site, Particullary SQLScriptingSorceryPaper
http://www.orcldba.com/library.html

And found the material very interesting. Id like to get a recommendation for an advanced sql book which covers material similar to Dan site which feature "creative problem solving tips"

I was going to mail Dan directly to find what text book he would recommend, but figured others would benefit form the recommendations. Most of the books I have barely go beyond joining 2 tables.

Id like to get some recommendations for the *best* sql reference/techniques.
I've learned allot for Dans site but really like to have a physical book

Thanks
Bob
