"Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 10g": The All-in-One Source for Understanding the Complexities and Capabilities of Oracle
Sebastopol, CA--Where too-basic, too-broad primers fall short, and
intimidating, weighty reference books overwhelm, there's one volume that
serves as the perfect introduction to the full range of Oracle features
and technologies, including the newly released Oracle Database 10g:
Oracle Essentials: Oracle Database 10g (Greenwald, Stackowiak, and
Stern, O'Reilly, US $39.95).
Even experienced developers and database administrators will admit that
Oracle is an enormous--and enormously challenging--system. And each Oracle
version release presents a myriad of new technologies to master. Oracle
Database 10g is no exception.
Written by experienced Oracle insiders Rick Greenwald, Robert Stackowiak,
and Jonathan Stern, this new edition of the trusted Oracle Essentials
distills a vast amount of information into an easy-to-digest volume that
covers every aspect of the Oracle database, including the product line,
architecture, data structures, networking, concurrency, tuning, and much more.
Focused text, detailed illustrations, and helpful hints deliver an
invaluable overview of Oracle Database 10g and its underlying features,
principles, concepts, and technology. Database administrators, developers,
and managers at all levels of Oracle expertise will learn about:
Oracle products, options, data structures, and overall architecture for
Oracle Database 10g (as well as earlier releases Oracle 9i and 8i)
Installing, running, managing, and tuning Oracle; configuring networking,
security, backup/recovery, and Enterprise Manager 10g; and using Oracle
Database 10g's self-tuning and management capabilities
Multi-user concurrency, online transaction processing (OLTP), data
warehousing, high availability, and hardware architectures (e.g., SMP,
MPP, NUMA, grid computing) and their impact on Oracle
Oracle's network deployment models--the Web and Oracle's new emphasis
on the Grid, with information about Java extensions and Oracle Application
Server 10g
The latest Oracle Database 10g features--new flashback capabilities; EM
10g; additional database tools--Database Upgrade Assistant, SQL Tuning
