For new DBAs and teams wanting to deliver turnkey systems

By Rachel Tozier on June 1, 2002

Format: Paperback

This collection of scripts cover all of the major DBA functions. Since most experienced DBAs have already amassed their tools, this book is for the newer DBA. It will give you a ready made collection of the basic scripts, which you can modify and perfect as your experience grows.
I like this collection because it allowed me and my team to bundle production ready scripts into an application that we developed for internal company use. Although me and most of my team were DBAs in the past out personal script collections were out of date. We bought this book, tailored the scripts we needed to production tasks to support our application and were able to release a turn key application to production. Since the scripts were provided on CD ROM and were relatively bug free this book saved us hundreds of development hours and allowed us to deliver a system that had a higher value than one that is tossed into production.
If you're a new DBA this book and the scripts that come with it will kickstart your tool library. If you're a developer that is building an Oracle application and want to deliver a complete solution this book will save time and money.

For Software Professionals who also take the role of DBA's

By R. Potluri on May 7, 2003

Format: Paperback

I bought this book as the author claims that it caters to the requirements of DBA's of different experience levels. I am involved in all phases of project developement. This book helped me in the tasks of the database creation,database maintenance and performance tuning. Automation scripts made my job much easier in database backups. With the help of this book I could
configure new Oracle 9i database and made it fully functional in four hours. Its a great book if you are working on Oracle installed on windows or unix. I feel that it is really worth its price.

Excellent compendium of Oracle DBA scripts

By Vinicio Valencia on July 9, 2003

Format: Paperback

This is a superb book. It has a lot of escencial Oracle DBA scripts written for UNIX / NT environments. Some scripts have really nice value added; for example the backup script provided also creates a file for restoring files backed up. The UNIX section at the end has a lot of useful commands for AIX, Solaris and HP. This is not a book for teaching you how to write scripts (although it has a section devoted to it), but it's clear and simple style make it a really good help for your DBA needs.

The book falls short of the claims made by the publisher...

By J. Yang on November 12, 2002

Format: Paperback

I bought this book mostly out of curiosity - what a Principle Consultant and DBA with Oracle Corporation may have to offer. While the book is decent in terms of technical contents, it falls way short of the BIG claims made by the publisher. Many scripts are just too simple to be production-strength utilities. New DBAs may find the book helpful in getting started, though.
