I picked the 9i copy of this a few days ago, and flipped through a few
pages.
The first thing that caught my eye was the list of the different
optimizer modes,
which didn't include first_rows_N.
The other thing I noticed on the page facing was the example of three
pieces of SQL that were supposed to return the same result. The first
and third had different column sets, and the second would produce an
Oracle error in the general case.
I wasn't impressed.

For the record, he doesn't maintain DBAZine, he only contributes to
it. I believe that he also claims to be a senior technical editor for
it,
but if so, he clearly doesn't take the job seriously, as he clearly
doesn't read the articles that it publishes, and has never offered
any editorial advice on my contributions.
