Thalis,

If your job description includes any responsibilities to optimize the performance of your system, then I really hope that Part I (Chapters 1 through 4) of Jeff's and my book called Optimizing Oracle Performance is part of a good answer to your question.

These chapters are completely non-technical (and shouldn't take you more than a couple hours to read), but--if we've done our job well--they set = your
mind in the right direction for the task of improving system = performance.

Hi all,

        I'm looking for some advice on purchasing an Oracle book. To give you a short description:
- I'm quite a new user (almost a month old which probably makes me =
something
more than an embryo I
guess)
- Just finished Oreilly's "Oracle essentials" (3rd ed.)

I have a CS and DB background, no Oracle though. Oreilly's title has = left me
mostly satisfied (as
have most of their titles). The concepts where mostly familiar. Now that = I
have more or less gotten
lightly & slightly acquainted with the slang, notions, processes, ideas, acronyms etc. I'm looking
for something more technical and DBA oriented.

Please advise on book titles, esp. if you've read more than a couple of books on Oracle.

TIA ps. I also have Oracle's "Oracle 9i Database Administration = Fundamentals",
both I and II.
