O'Reilly Releases Oracle Essentials and Oracle8i Internal Services
SEBASTOPOL, CA--Oracle is an enormous system, with myriad technologies,
options, and releases. Most users--even experienced developers and
database administrators--find it difficult to get a handle on the full
scope of the Oracle system. O'Reilly & Associates has just made it
easier by releasing
Oracle Essentials:
Oracle8 & Oracle8i.
Oracle
Essentials provides an invaluable, all-in-one introduction to
the full range of Oracle features and technologies. It distills the
enormous amount of information about what Oracle is, where it came
from, and what the latest releases do.
Oracle
Essentialsexplains what's new and important about Oracle's
revolutionary releases, Oracle8 (the "object-relational database") and
Oracle 8i (the "Internet database"). It covers Oracle products, overall
architecture, data structures, and system management and tuning. It
describes multiuser concurrency, OLTP, high availability, data
warehousing, distributed databases, and extensions for Oracle8 and
Oracle8i, including the latest Java and Web technologies. Oracle
Essentials also includes an appendix full of references to additional
online and offline resources.
Another recently released Oracle title,
Oracle8i Internal
Services for Waits, Latches, Locks and Memory, is aimed especially at
administrators and developers who need detailed internal information to do
advanced performance tuning.
Oracle8i Internal
Services lays a foundation for advanced performance
tuning of the Oracle database. Based on Oracle8i release 8.1, the book
describes many of the secrets of Oracle's internal services: data
structures, algorithms, and undocumented Oracle system statistics. Main
topics are: waits, latches, locks (including instance locks, used in
parallel server environments), and Oracle's use of memory.
