Any good DBA will need to know PL/SQL - Steven Feuerstein with Bill =
Pribyl

Any good DBA is familiar with backups/recoveries - Oracle 9i RMAN Backup =
and Recovery is good resource from Oracle Press.

Any a metalink account for quick references - bugs, issues, scripts.  =
Not as in-depth and "all in one convenient" place as the books but a =
good operational resource.

Thalis,

If your job description includes any responsibilities to optimize the
performance of your system, then I really hope that Part I (Chapters 1
through 4) of Jeff's and my book called Optimizing Oracle Performance is
part of a good answer to your question.

These chapters are completely non-technical (and shouldn't take you more
than a couple hours to read), but--if we've done our job well--they set =
=3D
your
mind in the right direction for the task of improving system =3D
performance.

Hi all,
        I'm looking for some advice on purchasing an Oracle book. To give
you a short description:
- I'm quite a new user (almost a month old which probably makes me =3D
something
more than an embryo I
guess)
- Just finished Oreilly's "Oracle essentials" (3rd ed.)
- Testing on a 9.2

I have a CS and DB background, no Oracle though. Oreilly's title has =3D
left me
mostly satisfied (as
have most of their titles). The concepts where mostly familiar. Now that =
=3D
I
have more or less gotten
lightly & slightly acquainted with the slang, notions, processes, ideas,
acronyms etc. I'm looking
for something more technical and DBA oriented.

Please advise on book titles, esp. if you've read more than a couple of
books on Oracle.

TIA

ps. I also have Oracle's "Oracle 9i Database Administration =3D
Fundamentals",
both I and II.
