I'm actually reading through the Rampant 10g New Features by Mike Ault right now, and I have been very pleased with it.

Some people that I personally know and respect (Arup Nanda) have written books for them and authors like Mike Ault are writing for them as well. If Robert Freeman of RMAN book fame doesn't have an evil twin, then I'd trust that book. I doubt that reputable names like Robert Freeman, Mike Ault and Don Burleson would be connected with Rampant if they were that bad ? I own the "New Features 10g" book and it contains exactly what I bought it for: an overview of new features in 10g, and rather extensive one, too. It's not a DBA guide, I am not going to master 10g from a single book, but with Oracle manuals, it helps me with finding and studying the new features. So, my personal experience with Rampant is not at all bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
