Product Description

Key updates that are covered for Oracle8I include SQLJ programming, JavaBeans, CORBA, and Java Virtual Machine. You will learn the fundamentals of Oracle database design, development and administration and progress quickly to using Oracle's tools and products to make these tasks easier and faster. Amazon.com Review
Special Edition Using Oracle8/8i delivers awell-balanced mix of tutorials, upgrade information, andadministration instruction. As such, this book serves well as anoverview to Oracle concepts and a daily reference for DBAs in thefield.

Instead of simply covering the features of Oracle, authorWilliam Page--with help from a number of other authors--puts theelements in good general perspective with introductory discussions ofkey topics. The book opens with a series of excellent chapters on thebasics of database management and relational databases, including, ofcourse, Oracle's approach. The book covers the entire spectrum ofOracle subjects (from tablespaces to tuning), and in addition to itscoverage of Oracle 8i, there are several chapters dedicated to thearchitecture of Oracle7 as well as technical comparisons and migrationissues.

The text is subtly highlighted with blue headings and pagelabels for a very readable format. The "Contents at a Glance" sectionis right on the cover page, offering quick lookups to favoritechapters. The CD-ROM includes a copy of Oracle8i Personal Edition 8.1for Microsoft Windows NT, sample code, and an electronic chapter onusing Oracle on Linux. If you're looking for a single book to explainOracle and serve as a survival guide, this is a finechoice. --Stephen W. Plain

Topics covered: Principlesof DBMS's; database normalization; Oracle 7.x, 8.x, and 8iarchitectures; performance optimization; security; recovery; Oracletools; Oracle Application Server (OAS); parallel and distributeddatabase management. ... Read more

great comprehensive book
This is a wonderful book which covers all the aspects of Oracle, including all the interfaces with Oracle. A really excellent book for DBAs and Programmer Analysts. It helped me a lot in understanding DBA part. Am excellent Que publication. I appreciate the structure and contents of the book

Great Intro to Oracle8i for Solaris Admins
As a Solaris admin I have little knowledge of Oracle. I really did not want to know much either. However, I must know something of it's design and layout. I also need to know what services/daemons do what. However, all the books I found covered Oracle on NT/2000. Who in their right mind would do such a thing! Anyway, this book as sufficient coverage of Oracle on Solaris that it helped get me up to speed on Oracle enough to understand an Oracle DBA when they speak!

Absolute AVOID this one
This is a typical Que effort, probably written in about 4 days, by paraphrasing pre-existing materials, including documentation you receive with the software.Also not updated for 8i, they added a few paragraphs at the beginning about new features, but didn't work through those features in the rest of the book. Poorly indexed,poorly edited (both as to explanations and # typos), way too many screen shots, just way too big.

Good book for reference use ..........
This book is probably one of the best book I have in my personal Oracle Library. Very well explained examples, good detail on Oracle Architecture, Management and database administration. Author has done a good job. If you are looking to become an Oracle application developer "you are wasting your time" this book is more for intermediate level person or if you have some exposure to Oracle then you will understand what author is trying to explain. Other books you might want to take a look is "Oracle 8i DBA Handbook" very similar contents.

Excellent for the Beginner!!!
Granted...I am a junior DBA but this book is very good at presenting the basics with enough detail that I would definitely recommend it over many other general Oracle DBA books (including the Handbook by Oracle Press).It really helped in spelling out the exact steps to creating a database as well as installing Oracle (which for some reason many books neglect).With that said, whether you use this book or another book, it is a good idea to also purchase topic specific books (eg. Backup and Recovery, Tuning, etc.) when more detail is needed. ... Read more
