A quick check at Amazon.com of books published by TUSC employees shows
an interesting correlation
that is worthy of consideration. Seems that someone named J.A. Patel is
leaving perfect reviews on them.
The following were copied, intact, from Amazon's web site and are not my
comments on these books.

Most excellent helper, April 26, 2003

Super for a Unix newbie, April 26, 2003
Reviewer: J. A. Patel from Councel Bluffs, IA
I know Oracle on Windows, but I was very scared of all the Unix commands that I would need to learn to do Oracle on Unix. This book was a superb help to me and I was able to copy Unix commands right from the book and just look up what I wanted to do.
and then there's:

Fantastic Oracle tuning reference, June 22, 2003
Reviewer: J. A. Patel from Councel Bluffs, IA
This book is somewhat mis-titled as a STATSPACK book. Instead the book is a superb overall view of Oracle tuning using STATSPACK.
The concepts are presented clearly and elegantly, and the supplemental scripts are very useful. This is a great book to add to your collection that you will actually use
I've no doubt Amazon.com will be unhappy to find out that some of what they have published in good faith has been submitted under false pretenses. A copy of this posting has been forwarded to a friend at Amazon, here in Seattle, for their consideration.
BTW Jitendra. Learn to spell the name of the city in which you claim to live. You got it wrong three times over the course of two months.
