Customer Reviews & Comments
I was very anxious for this book to come out since it had a very lucrative table of contents with all the "right" stuff in it.
Unfortunately I found the book to have a lot of unneeded info such as history of Oracle, history of Linux, Unix, overview of Oracle products,etc junk. If you an Oracle professional, you probably know all of this anyways. I was hoping to find "trade secrets" and "best pratices of ORacle on Linux" that will help me , but instead found very basic descriptive information, nothing detailed in particular.
There is nothing "special" about Oracle architecture, backup and recovery in this book that refers to Linux that you can't find in any other oracle 10g book. The only useful detail that I found is remapping of kernel base when using Large memory for SGA, but that also can be dug out of OTN. Also you will find a much better overview of Linux from any "Linux Administration" book.
Overall this book may be ok for a newbie as introduction, but if you are past that stage, I would say pass on this one.
