Book Reviews of Oracle8i Database Administration

Book Review: OK Overview of a number of topics
Summary: 3 Stars

My supervisor is looking for another job closer to his home so I need to learn Oracle fast if I want his job (and corresponding salary). I am looking for documentation that can get me up to speed in general and be useful for specific reference. We use a commercial application built around an Oracle database. I need to understand the database well enough to manage it without any need to develop for it.

Yukanna's book is written in question and answer format. The first section I tackled was backups. Yukanna spends a chapter on backup and recovery and covers some interesting questions. He doesn't spend any time discussing the fundamentals of backup such as what needs to be backed up to get a get restore or how the control file works with the log files to recreate a database. I got that through Oracle's documentation and testing.

The Oracle CD has over 100megs of documentation. I printed a bunch of it and have found it to be useful in learning the concepts. Yukanna's book would be a good addition to your library as a browser for ideas on managing your database. It is not a good source for learning about Oracle 8i
