Re: Which book has more complete info?

If you are looking for concepts then nothing beats the combo of Tom Kyte's three books & Oracle concepts guide ! If you are looking for day to day administration stuff then Alapati's Expert Oracle Administration coupled with Admin guide from documentation makes it a pretty complete package !

I would say it depends upon what your goal is. Do you want a shelf reference to simply pick bits of info out when you need it or will you be looking for something you would read cover to cover and learn as you go. I always had the feeling that the O.Press Handbook seemed to try to hard to be both. I must a admit a preference for books from Apress over O.Press, Apress seem to attract the best technical writers and editors, books you can read cover to cover and retain a great deal of info, but that's just my personal preference.
