I'm very disappointed, I don't know why Addison Wesley decided to publish this book :-(

* only trivial examples, no real life cases
* totally outdated (even from 2006 perspective), the ideas might be valid in 80'
* a lot of repetition, the book could be half as long
* the parts with JDBC code - waste of paper

For now this is the worst book from addison Wesley signature series. Everything in this book is just written down common sense of how work with large and mostly old databases and how these databases refactor for including new information.
