Oracle
If you go to a computer bookstore now, you'll find that books related to Oracle technology will occupy a lot of space in bookstores. In these books there are many fine, but certainly some dross mixed with, for fine, we might as well read, for those patchwork of books we still avoid and far, lest let oneself regret.
Here, fenng to write down the impressions of several Oracle books, hoping to have a reference to some friends.
(You may not be able to use it for Oracle technology gurus).
"No Responsibility Book review" was first seen on the Houtie website, it is very interesting to think that they are far from Mr. Hou's work
Force, just by virtue of some feeling, Lada, the subject is also suggestive of the reader: this comment may only
Play a reference role, and finally rely on their own judgement.
Original title: Expert One-on-one Oracle
Original publishing house: Wrox Press
Author: Thomas Kyte
Translator: Xianqing Yong Zhang Yuqui etc
ISBN: 7-302-05334-0
Page Number: 1276
Publisher: Tsinghua University Press
Rating: Chinese version of the four-star semi-English version of five stars
The author of the book's classic is Thomas Kyte, the Tom behind the asktom.oracle.com technical column. The book is based on Oracle's rationale, and the Key features of Oracle, such as index/min
Analysis of functions, etc.) are analyzed in detail and in depth. It is particularly interesting to describe some of the features and functions
, the author likes to use the word "truth". With many examples, and these examples appear to be handy, but actually the intention is profound, read after the people, Very happy. In the Chinese Oracle Technology Forum, you can often see similar words: This question you can read Tom's book, in a section of a chapter. This book is seen in the minds of many Oracle technicians.
Most of the time, the DBA will almost certainly say, after checking the database, that "the programmer doesn't use binding variables at all." To be honest, programmers who develop databases rarely consciously write effective database programs.
And that's almost the main source of the database's inability to perform well. How to write effective and efficient database application
program, in this book can find the answer completely.
Disadvantage: The code is not beautiful enough. Perhaps the author's writing time is rather hasty, and many of the code seems to be pasted directly from the Sql*plus, without modification.
Translation is not professional, this is the Chinese version of the book is the cause of the disease. However, to apply a friend's words: 90% of the content can be read. If everyone can do this, the book will be worth the money.
Although the author says the book is written primarily for application developers, it seems to me that the book has more practical implications for DBAs. The DBAs are strongly advised to have one.
Tom's new book: "Effective Oracle by-design" is also about to be published, is undoubtedly a heavyweight classic, let's wait and see. (originally Wrox to publish, but Wrox's parent company went bankrupt)

If you want to study Oracle carefully, these two manuals should be read. The concept book is a clear explanation of Oracle's architecture, concepts, principles, and so on.
Often in the forum to see a lot of friends to ask some conceptual questions, it can be said that a careful reading of this manual, most of the questions will no longer be asked. Of course, not everyone has the patience to read English materials. Or recommend that you can read, after all, this is free.
You can download most of Oracle's manuals as long as you register on OTN. Learning Oracle,oracle's technical documentation is indeed the most authoritative.

Rating: Four Star original publishing house Osborne/mcgraw-hill
The content of the book seems to be somewhat stale, but I strongly recommend that the database administrator read the book.
This book includes: Guidance on policy on high availability, how to understand the high availability of databases, how to establish and maintain high availability of databases how to provide users with a 24*7 database environment? If you maintain management and optimization for highly available environments Some of the classic wrong solutions and ideas. Of course, the content is far more than that, and after careful reading, you will find yourself having a better understanding of the overall architecture of the Oracle database. It is also a good reference book for applications that need to be addressed.

Oracle9i Practical Management Lecture--core of the system

Folio: 16 Open
Publishing House: Electronics Industry Publishing House
Rating: Samsung half
CSDN recently advertised the book. Look at the feeling is belong to the kind of "illustrated". One of the characteristics of Taiwanese technical writers ' writing is that they write in a clearer and more readable way. But some of the terms may be quite different from one another.
In this book alone, as an introductory book, the quality of the finishing is good. Can see the author's serious and responsible attitude. It can also be seen that the author of Oracle's practical experience is relatively small, and some places give a more circuitous mentality (for example, how to modify the initial parameters of the database method, The method used by the author is not flexible enough)
The whole content of this book has some similar experiment handbook (the title is somewhat exaggerated, hehe). As an introductory book for learning Oracle9i.

Oracle Performance Optimization Technology Insider

Rating: Samsung half
In the author's words: A book on Oracle optimization should not be more than 40 pages (although the author thinks it is a bit extreme). The technical writer who dares to say so must not be bad.
Read the book, feeling the author's statement is not empty. The book mentions a lot of technical papers, which can be downloaded in www.hotsos.com. This book is actually a combination of several technical papers.
The principles of simplicity in the optimization process advocated in the book are refreshing to read, not so much esoteric database views, nor too many scripts, but merely explanatory principles,
The rest is up to you.

Oracle Performance Tuning-proven methodologies for optimal performance and availability
Original title: High-performance Oracle:proven Methods for achieving optimum performance and availability [original book information]
Author: Geoff Ingram
Translator: Zhang Jianming
ISBN: 7-302-06424-5
Page Number: 592
Publisher: Wiley Publishing, Tsinghua University Press, original publishing house
Rating: Four stars
The subtitle of the book-"proven methods of getting the best performance and usability"-reveals the perspective the book faces.
Some chapters, such as stress testing and benchmarking/oracle highly available Veritas Solutions, are explained in practical applications and are instructive. And such content in other books is really rare.
The final chapter: Oracle DBMS Troubleshooter, introduced a lot of little-known methods and technologies (such as UNIX kernel tracking, etc.), is very classic. Throughout the book, and Tom's "Oracle Expert Advanced Programming", some places are comparable.

Rating: Samsung
Many DBAs may have read the book, and some people like to recommend it. To tell the truth, the fenng feeling is not very good for this book (IDG's Bible series of books are in fact generally).
The book is characterized by a wide range, but not deep enough. A lot of places, is a "teach people to fish" books, we buy books best can buy "teach people to fish", rather than buy a how to.
The coverage is only 8i, somewhat outdated.

Rating: Four stars
is also a big brick, is Tsinghua published Wrox Books. Translation is still the same, the quality of translation is still the same. There's something to say.
This book is mentioned solely because one of the authors is Thomas Kyte (not mentioned in the China-pub's profile). The other two authors are not bad--all Tom's colleagues.
This book is positioned as an introductory textbook for Oracle Programming (beginning Oracle programming). Some ideas about Tom's joining the whole book have changed a lot.
This book begins with some basic concepts of Oracle, introduces the skills and skills required for Oracle programming. The following section also describes the development of two complete applications. One of the characteristics of this book is that in the course of learning, the author will also subtly teach you some good habits of Oracle programming. If you're looking for a book to systematically learn about Oracle's programming, fenng to recommend it to you.
Some of the content in the book is slightly duplicated by Oracle expert advanced programming. In addition, some of Wrox's books have a common problem: the authors are numerous and have done it in haste. This book has some problems in it.

Most of the books listed above have been published in the Chinese version. If possible, some classic books that have not been introduced will be introduced in the next article. Welcome to participate in the discussion.
