To give you a short description: - I'm quite a new user (almost a month old which probably makes me =3D something more than an embryo I guess) - Just finished Oreilly's "Oracle essentials" (3rd ed.) - Testing on a 9.2 I have a CS and DB background, no Oracle though. Oreilly's title has =3D left me mostly satisfied (as have most of their titles). The concepts where mostly familiar. Now that = =3D I have more or less gotten lightly & slightly acquainted with the slang, notions, processes, ideas, acronyms etc. I'm looking for something more technical and DBA oriented. Please advise on book titles, esp. if you've read more than a couple of books on Oracle. TIA ps. I also have Oracle's "Oracle 9i Database Administration =3D Fundamentals", both I and II. ______________________________ Thalis Kalfigopoulos IT Department Alumil S.A.
