Are you seeking a book on DBA (administration) or performance tuning or
real time database design? The more specific the question, the more likely
the answer will match your needs. If you have some books, don't be shy about
mentioning them so you don't just get recommendations that include books you
already have. Since most of us collect books, if you say what you need that
isn't included in your existing books, we can recommend books that cover
different material.
For performance tuning, a great book to start with is:
Oracle 101 Performance Tuning by Jaga Krishna Vaidyanatha, Kirtikumar
Deshpande, and John Kostelac.
I have also been impressed with:
The Art and Science of Oracle Performance Tuning by Christopher Lawson. This
is very new, just published.
Both of these books emphasize the fact that successful performance tuning
begins with a correct philosophy. With a mistaken philosophy you can spend a
lot of time and may even think you are being successful.
There are two aspects to performance tuning, tuning the system and tuning
your SQL. Which is more important will vary by your situation and as a
competent DBA you need to understand both. For example, some packaged
applications do not allow you to tune the SQL at all. But often tuning SQL
statements can yield great gains in performance.
As to the other topics you mention, perhaps it would be best if you reply
with more specifics as to your situation.
Sitting here in the U.S., it is rather difficult for me to tell what
books are available to you in Hyderabad. Can you buy books from
www.amazon.com?
Getting a book that applies to both 8i and 9i is easy, in my experience.
When a new Oracle version arrives, publishers often brush up an existing
book with some new information so they can place the new version number on
the book. It takes awhile for authors to absorb the impact that the changes
can have on the daily work of a DBA and produce a book that incorporates
these changes. I'm just trying to accurately represent the situation, not
being critical. Fortunately when Oracle creates a new version, 99% of the
features already there still work. Just familiarize yourself with the main
feature differences between versions and you'll be fine with any book.
I will be on vacation for several days, so if you are sleeping when this
reply is posted, I will be unable to reply. However, there are others on
this list that can provide far more competent assistance than I, even
including some book authors.

Dear Friends,
I am willing to buy Oracle DBA 9i books. ,I need your suggestion on this.
I got information friends from this list that the book ("Practical Oracle 8i
- Jonathan Lewis".) is practically good. Even I am also looking for the
same kind of book, But I want it for both 8i and 9i. It should be more
practical oriented , performance tuning and real time database design and
problems. The book should be more practical oriented .
What abt performance tuning 101 techniques , Oracle 9i DBA handbook.
What are the best books for Oracle DBA (Intermediate level ) available in
INDIA , HYDERABAD.
Any URL / best sites also will be helpful.
Thanks
Rajuveera

RE: Oracle DBA 9i Books ever needed.
Rajuveera
Are you seeking a book on DBA (administration) or performance tuning or
real time database design? The more specific the question, the more likely
the answer will match your needs. If you have some books, don't be shy about
mentioning them so you don't just get recommendations that include books you
already have. Since most of us collect books, if you say what you need that
isn't included in your existing books, we can recommend books that cover
different material.
For performance tuning, a great book to start with is:
Oracle 101 Performance Tuning by Jaga Krishna Vaidyanatha, Kirtikumar
Deshpande, and John Kostelac.
I have also been impressed with:
The Art and Science of Oracle Performance Tuning by Christopher Lawson. This
is very new, just published.
Both of these books emphasize the fact that successful performance tuning
begins with a correct philosophy. With a mistaken philosophy you can spend a
lot of time and may even think you are being successful.
There are two aspects to performance tuning, tuning the system and tuning
your SQL. Which is more important will vary by your situation and as a
competent DBA you need to understand both. For example, some packaged
applications do not allow you to tune the SQL at all. But often tuning SQL
statements can yield great gains in performance.
As to the other topics you mention, perhaps it would be best if you reply
with more specifics as to your situation.
Sitting here in the U.S., it is rather difficult for me to tell what
books are available to you in Hyderabad. Can you buy books from
www.amazon.com?
Getting a book that applies to both 8i and 9i is easy, in my experience.
When a new Oracle version arrives, publishers often brush up an existing
book with some new information so they can place the new version number on
the book. It takes awhile for authors to absorb the impact that the changes
can have on the daily work of a DBA and produce a book that incorporates
these changes. I'm just trying to accurately represent the situation, not
being critical. Fortunately when Oracle creates a new version, 99% of the
features already there still work. Just familiarize yourself with the main
feature differences between versions and you'll be fine with any book.
I will be on vacation for several days, so if you are sleeping when this
reply is posted, I will be unable to reply. However, there are others on
this list that can provide far more competent assistance than I, even
including some book authors.

Title: RE: Oracle DBA 9i Books ever needed.
If you are anywhere near around Jonathan, he will _upgrade_ the book to 9i version for you ... he even showed us how at Hotsos/2003 ...
I think his book is still valid for 9i as well ...
