Once again, Robert Freeman has done an excellent job on a New Features book. I really like the "Jonathan Says" tidbits by Jonathan Lewis. I've read the official 10g new features doc from Oracle in preparation for creating a 10g database destined for production. Interesting items, like a system-level default tablespace and SYSAUX. I admit I just skimmed it, but I did not see any big 'gotchas'...until I read Robert's book. Did you know that the database is created with 2 already scheduled jobs? 1 of them automatically gathers statistics for you. Talk about a potential minefield! Perhaps Robert should rename his book "Oracle 10g - Now You Won't Go BOOM!"
