Re: Tom kyte's New book

Hi,

I also love the 101 Performance Tuning book.

In the same way of thinking should be the new (just off the press) Cary Millsap book "Optimizing Oracle Performance: a practitioner's Guide to Optimizing Response Time" should also be great. Cary was previously the head of the Oracle's Performance Group and has now its own bzns specializing in Oracle perf: hotsos.
