RE: books recommendations

There are a lot of good items on your list. Harrison is the definitive work on Oracle SQL tuning, though it is also worthwhile to pick up the O'Reilly pocket SQL tuning book as well. Robert Freeman's books are uniformly excellent. Geoff Ingram's book was a pleasure to read and contains a great deal of valuable material. It takes a combined approach to high availability and tuning that is refreshingly practical.

No Oracle library should be without Tom Kyte's book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861004826/qid=1044277898/sr=5- 1/ref=cm_lm_asin/102-1411589-1874536?v=glance

And of course Jonathan Lewis' Practical Oracle8i is another must-have, though we are all waiting for the 9i edition (nudge, nudge).

If you go to Amazon.com and enter 'Oracle performance' in the search window my list of recommended books should pop up somewhere on the right side of the page.
