 Best Book on Performance Tuning November 5, 2006
The book cover a wide range of issues related to performance tuning. It helps me better understand the magic behind oracle PT. The author is an expert in the area and used his expertise to design a PT tuning guide. I would definitely recommend this book to junior and senior dbas. I am looking forward to the upcoming 10g version that is set to be released sometimes next year.
Great read from novices to experts July 10, 2006

The authors have really put in alot of effort in making sure that the Oracle database can be understood in every aspect, and this really makes tuning easier :) Surely, this is one of the best books around.
cheers!

 Best general Oracle 9i DBA tuning book on market August 21, 2005
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I devoured this book over the weekend after a good DBA friend of mine recommend it to me. Also a very senior Oracle DBA consultant who interviewed me a year ago suggested that I study it to get senior DBA job. Overall an excellent text- clearly written packed with tons of very useful tuning information and of course the cute photo of Mr. Larry Ellison when he was 22 years old and looked like a pencil geek rather than the gazillionaire today. My only beef- NO CD-ROM or link to ANY of the scripts or tables for the book! This is frustrating guys because when I try to follow along with the tuning examples in the book I cannot duplicate same results to see how the tuning is performed. Other than that gripe a highly recommend it to Oracle DBAs. I also like the sections on X$ tables- few places actually discuss this and its nice to know how the X$ tables interact with Oracle kernel and Operating system.
Best chapters to me were Chapters 6-9 on using native Oracle trace and tuning tools like tkprof, sql trace and stored outlines. Chapter on index tuning and tuning SQL queries and joins really my favorites as few places discuss this. AND just be advised all you DBAs- managers and senior Oracle guys will tech you out on very very difficult tuning questions so study and review this book before and after interviews to land job! Along with Guy Harrisons SQL tuning book and Richmond Shee's tuning book on Oracle Wait interface the best three tuning books ever written for hungry DBAs. When users scream and yell that they cannot run a report these will save your job.
Somewhat unrefined but worth reading April 29, 2005

The author is obviously highly knowledgeable of Oracle. He is, after all, an Oracle Certified Master, which is the highest level of Oracle certification requiring two days of intensive lab testing. Most people fail to pass.
Overall the book is very well written and is full of useful knowledge. I found its chapters on indexes, Oracle Enterprise Manager, and X$ tables as among the best. I found its chapters on query tuning to be poor, failing to even mention transaction isolation levels and different locking.
This is not a book for beginners, but for experienced Oracle DBAs who wants to get a better handle on improving Oracle performance.
The downside of this book is that it is somewhat sloppily written and put together, almost as if the book was written as a midnight term paper. The information is valuable and of high quality, just that its level or organization and writing could have used 2 more months of refinement and rewriting.
