It's not a troll, nor spam ... it was just a simple question : what about the book <...> I'm not that long active in this newsgroup (and I don't know if I will be, considering the replies), so I wasn't aware of the Donald K. Burleson "myth". I'm just looking around for a good book on SQL tuning, and I did like his "Unix for Oracle DBAs" pocket reference. I learnt a lot from it and I keep it with me all the time.
