I would like it... I'm book oriented. I printed and bound a number of =
the 8i manuals for reference. I find using 'help' you keep having to =
scroll up and down. I don't want to do and crud up the window while I'm =
actually trying to do something. A little reference book would suit me.

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=3Dy" 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?
