Not sure if Stelios is in this list so I CC him. Stelios: you may want to join oracle-l I read a couple of first-version chapters and I was pleased with the content. I will read it once I get my printed copy (i still prefer to read technical stuff in paper...) I will get 3 printed copies and I plan to share one with Abel Macias and one with Mauro Pagano. Anyways, I met Stelios a few years ago and I know he is well versed in SQLTXPLAIN, so I expect this book to be of good quality. He contacted me with questions during his writing, so I am confident the book will be mostly accurate. But since SQLT evolves faster than humans, I expect the book to become obsolete in less than 2 years! I truly appreciate Stelios volunteering to write this much-needed book, specially considering that he has invested an enormous amount of his personal time in order to accomplish this endeavor.
