Don Burleson is not just an editor, he's the owner of Rampart Press. Quite
surprising that he would recommend a book his company published, eh?

Hi all,
Is this one good?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0974599352/103-0891699-0877465?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance
I can see the review from Mr. Burleson who was apparently an editor as well
(well, expected for Rampant Press).
The comment seem a bit odd to me:
As the editor for this book I was able to read the in-depth utility of
Oracle Streams and see how it is going to be a super-hot technology. Oracle
Streams is a great replacement for the older standby-database technology and
it's is also a great alternative to Oracle RAC clusters.
Best of all, Oracle Streams is a great way to set-up a disaster recovery
server, and also use the server for traffic. Tumma did an exceptional job on
this book and I highly recommend it for anyone considering failover or disaster
recovery solutions.
Madhu's text goes far-beyond the nuts-and-bolts and he shares real-world
secrets and techniques for using Oracle Streams in a mission-critical
environment. If you need to understand high-speed Oracle replication, this is a
must-have book.
I am really surpised to consider Oracle Streams anywhere close to replacement
of RAC. I am also quite skeptical to that it's an appropriate solution for
DR... well, maybe... maybe...
Anyway, I promised that two books from this Sir are the last ones that I have
on my bookshelf (one of them was only edited by him though).
No surprise on this one:

Is there an alternative reading (besides manuals) on Oracle Streams? I would
buy this one but after few recent notes/blogs from some prominent authors I am
kind of reassured that it might be just loosing my time. Or maybe this one is
good to have?
