Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 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=y" 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?
