Stimpy:

If you're looking for Oracle DBA books, look at the new books from Oracle Press:

• ORACLE DBA Handbook, Kevin Loney, Osborne McGraw Hill, $35
• Tuning ORACLE, Corey/Abbey/Dechichio, Osborne McGraw Hill, $30

Both books are clearly written and easier to find information in than the Administrator's Guide. There is supposedly a third book in the set of Oracle Press books. Anyone know what it's called? Hopefully they'll put out other books on subjects such as:

• Forms 4.x
• Managing Distributed Databases
• Advanced SQL and PL/SQL

Also check out http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/~dtb/orafaq/books.html on the web. It's one of the few places that I have seen lists or reviews of Oracle technical books. Received on Tue Jan 24 1995 - 20:31:41 CET
