My thoughts exactly on the 7.3 SQL Manual. Jonathan does publish a
generic SQL manual. Perhaps someone can comment whether they've retired
their 7.3 SQL manual in favor of that.

My biggest gripe with the Pocket References is that you have to break
the binding to get the dang thing to lay down and not close up on you.
Perhaps a spiral binding would work better.
Oracle Utils pocket reference would be good. But most of my fellow
DBAs, and I, miss the old Oracle 7.3 quick SQL reference guide. Most of
the time we know the command, but just cant remember the exact syntax.

Subject: An Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference?
Some of you may know that I work I work for O'Reilly Media,
editing some of their Oracle titles. We've been batting
around the idea of publishing an Oracle Utilities Pocket
Reference. On the one hand, a small, concise book to remind
one of the syntax for such utilities as oradebug, expdp,
imp, sqlldr, orapwd, tkprof, and so forth seems like a
useful thing. On the other hand, many of these utilities
come with online help. For example, you can issue "exp
help=y" to get a quick summary of export options. Maybe a
pocket reference would not add enough additional value to be
worth its price.
So I'd like to put the question to all of you, would a
utilities pocket reference be useful? Is it something you
would be likely to buy and use? If you could have any pocket
reference (or I guess any book for that matter) you wanted
to make your DBA job easier, what would that be?
