Hi Fuzzy.....

The best Oracle DBA book I am aware of is the one written by Kevin Loney, Oracle DBA Handbook from Oracle Press. For Backup and Recovery issues, the Oracle Press handbook by Rama Velpuri is excellent. If you are working on a unix box, the new book by Alomari from Prentice Hall "Oracle & UNIX Performance Tuning" is full of tips. Please check The Primary Key virtual bookstore at www.This.Is/keybooks under the subject heading DBA and see many more. We ship worldwide!
