Excellent book, CD much more convenient:
This book is a great resource for the new or experienced DBA. With so many configuration options and infrequently used features it is nice to have one source for all of this information. Also, the CD which accompanies the book makes carrying the book and searching it much faster.
Not for a newbie, But great book for Professionals:
Very bulky, Really covers a great deal. Not good for new programmer who wasnts to learn Oracle from Scrach.
Good for the basics:
This book is excellent to know the basics of the Oracle 10g Administration, as its name says, is a complete reference about the whole database software, includes a big part of PL/SQL and complete chapters about tuning tips and security, It's a must for an Oracle DBA, but I put only 4 stars because I think Lonely tried to cover a lot of things in this book, and obvious, it only mention the keys for eache point; and if you want the complete solution for one topic, you need to consult other resureces like OTN.... more info
