Three copies is excellent - we should just write enough books that each sell like that, and we'll be fine:

By the way, thanks for the suggestion about having 10 authors each delivering a chapter. That was my grand idea for the TOTOT (Tales Of The OakTable) book. Well, to get for instance Anjo to deliver on time is slightly less stressful than being thirsty in the middle of a desert - but not much. And that was only ONE of them :-).

One guy who has written really excellent about IO is the Finnish guy they call The Fat Index Guy up there. His book on indexes and IO is really, really good. Calculations, proofs, the lot.

His name is Tapio Lahdenmäki. He's written a book together with Michael Leach called "Relational Database Index Design and the Optimizers".

    Let's see what happens, maybe this thread will provide incentive
    for someone with storage expertise to document their knowledge.



Heck, I'll settle for someone with a really good dose of common-sense.
And maybe a calculator.  I'm not sure you need anything much fancier
to meet *my* needs.  ;-)

Of course, you've hit on exactly the reason that such books are so
scarce.  We've established that there is a market for at least 3
copies (I think Mogens sounded interested).  Only another 999,997
more, and we can probably find a publisher who will be interested
(and willing/able to adequately compensate the author).

Oh well.  We've made a start.  ;-)
