I just ordered the Oak Table, Oracle Wait Interface and 10G New Features
(Mr. Freeman's book).
Thanks to all of the authors who work so hard to put these books together
for those of us who do not have the time or skills to do all of this
leg-work!!!!

Hi,
I'm very much looking forward to getting OITOTOT book
because I value the *methodology* provided by the
OakTable authors.
Wish someone would post if they got it yet from
Bookpool. :-)

As I've stated earlier, I believe the OWI book is
mandatory study for DBAs regarding wait interface
(through 10g) tuning efforts. There are hundreds of
points made in the book which I can use (once I've
tested them of course). ;-)
<OFF TOPIC to anyone who has already read the OWI
book>:
But, I have issues (editing and methodology) with the
OWI book that I did not have with the other two books
Mladen mentions.
I'll give what I believe to be a quick OWI example of
an editing error. It is deep in the book, therefore
assuming someone has read the whole OWI book, and on
pg 201 regarding transactions:
"Introducing additional commits can create other
problems, among them, the infamous ORA-01555: snapshot
too old error because the rollback (or undo) data can
be overwritten".
Please read the whole section in context. In my
opinion the sentence implies that 'shorter'
transactions are causing ORA-01555 errors. My belief
is that more commits implies 'shorter' transactions.
Or, the converse, am I reading that if I make my
transactions 'longer' (fewer commits) then there
should be fewer ORA-01555 errors. Please enlighten me
if I'm missing an obvious point, but I don't get the
point of this sentence. The remainder of the paragraph
is fine.
Further discussions of OWI probably deserves their own
thread, rather than hijaak OITOTOT.
</OFF TOPIC>
Regards,
Mike Thomas
