Okay Rachel....u have me convinced there....I am adding the 101 book to my shelf !!
I said *some* of the masters of Oracle....I do realize that there r lots of other masters of Oracle who do not work for TUSC. Yep...Alomari's book does deal more on OS tuning for Oracle but don't u think that much of our tuning efforts always go towards the database whereas the real focus should b directed on the OS which houses Oracle....of course, it depends on case-to-case basis but I have come across so many DBAs who always think that the problem is with the database rather than otherwise. Other than Alomari's book, I haven't come across any other book which explains so well the way Oracle works within the OS kernel, thats the reason I thought anybody working on Oracle on Unix needs that book.

It's written in a more "friendly" style than the other one, mostly because that's the goal of the 101 series. Of course, since I did some of the editing on the book, I'm prejudiced (and no, I don't get any money if more copies sell) define "masters of Oracle" -- there are a heck of lot of incredibly brilliant Oracle users (developers and DBAs) who don't work for TUSC As for Alomari's book -- it deals more with OS tuning for Oracle than for performance tuning within the database. --- "SARKAR, Samir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe u r right, Rachel.....since except for me, all the others have > suggested the 101 book.
