Stephen, I just happened to find this site that shows the picture of "their" Robert Freeman. I am not sure if the book advertised in this site is the same 'cause I don't see the horse (in the background ;-) I personally don't know Robert, but look at the picture and judge by yourselves whether the book refers to the well known Oracle DBA Robert Freeman or not.

The reason I ask is that I recently returned three books from Rampant that are the worst books I have ever seen. These were the first books I have EVER returned. I didn't even sell back my college textbooks (which now clutter up the place). These Rampant books were inexcusably, God-awful bad, and I swore that I would own no Rampant books again. But this title has the name Robert Freeman (but not Robert G. Freeman) stuck on it, so I have to wonder if the Robert Freeman on this book is same Robert Freeman we all know and love, and not just some guy with a convenient name who hangs out at the local Salvation Army when he's not camped out under a bridge, and if that is enough to cancel out the apparent innate badness of Rampant. I also noticed the following book. I didn't know Robert's interests were so diverse. A book on restoring and recovering a database is fine, but what we REALLY need is a book on restoring and recovering this group. http://tinyurl.com/29axd ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
