Customer Reviews & Comments
I have several years of DBA experience in a Windows environment. The company I work for just picked up a Linux contract, so I had to learn how to perform various DBA functions in a Linux environment...quickly. This book has helped out tremendously with the task I was presented. Chapter 2 was extremely useful since I was new to the environment. However, Chapters 5 and 7 are proving useful on a daily basis. I'm working on automating some of my tasks, so I will be spending a bit more time in Chapter 11. The book is easy to read and the authors provide several good examples.
