Hi Mike,

Up until now, I'd never heard of it, so that must be a marketing problem, in whaich case, you are probably screwed (as you mentioned) :o) However, a check of Amazon uk shows the 8i version is still there - I shall order the 9i one when it appears.

Clock up one sale anyway :o)

regards,
Norman.

Conversation: Good Oracle DBA book
Subject: Re: Good Oracle DBA book

I know I am asking for it, but I need to know, why isn't anyone using my book: "Oracle8i Administration and Management" from John Wiley and Sons?

The new release will be out June 21, 2002 for 9i.

I include tons of monitoring scripts, many techniques for tuning and monitoring. Is it just not available or are the other books that much better? Is it content or just lack of marketing from Wiley?

If it is content I can do something about that. If it is marketing I am screwed...
