Very useful
This was very useful for a DBA who wants to quickly snag some code to help manage the databases. Well worth the cash.


Rating: 5 out of 5
Excellent Book - Used Time and Time Again
This was one of the first Oracle DBA books I read and it was excellent. I have written numerous DBA admin and repair scripts that run in NT 'AT' jobs at night and this book gave me a great start. The book is well written and the scripts were instantly useful. This book along with a few others is one of the best around and I use it nearly every day. This book blows away the 'Oracle Scripts' book by O'Reilly (although their SQLPlus book is very good.)

Usefull for tuning, not really for developers
The book shows a lot of scripts that show the dictionary tables in a nice report. If you know your way around in the dictionary (mainly V$% and DBA_% tables) and are not interested in a nice layout, most of the scripts are not that hard to make yourself.
