Oracle Database 10g Insider Solutions Review by Jaewoo Kim
Best "How to" book on Oracle
This is the best "How to" book on Oracle. I have read around 20 books on Oracle (I reviewed most of them on Amazon) and this one is the most practical Oracle book for intermediate to advance Oracle DBAs.
The book skips most of the architecture and goes directly on how to configure and use some of the most salient features of Oracle 10g.
Some of the examples are:
1)How to manually install RAC instance
2)How to migrate Non-ASM to ASM disks and vice versa.
3)How to collect AWR reports using builtin scripts.
4)How to install CRS
5)How to Flashback Database and Flashback Table.
6)How to Patch Dataguard Instances
7)How to use flashback in Dataguard Standby.
8)How to manually remove Oracle Instances.
9)How to upgrade RMAN Catalog.
10)How to use Wait statistics to measure and improve performance.
Not all the topics are advanced. But it still helps to get down to the fundamentals, even for the advanced DBA with decade or more of experience.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to expand/improve their Oracle 10G skillset.
