This book has a lot of Oracle tuning tips and advise about some certain plattforms and technologies. Although there's a lot of considerable information about almost anything related with Oracle tuning (including OPS), it doesn't provide with a concise method or guide.The book is structured to help you at different stages of your Oracle implementation (design phase, production, proactive and reactive tuning, capacity planning, etc). But that good schema looks very confuse when the author starts to make suggestions or tips that aren't sorted by any kind of category (and they often takes a lot of pages)... Those comments are very good, so it needs a bit of more organization. I recommend this book for instance and database tuning, but not for SQL tuning (the author has another excellent book on this subject). There aren't too many advices regarding the plattform (unix or nt), so, keep in mind you'll need more support.

One of my favorite - but needs to be updated for Oracle8i
The first edition, or as we affectionately called it, the "Bee" book was the bible. I recently bought the 2nd edition for old times sake. It still has a lot of good info but sorely needs to be updated. There are many Oracle8i performance features such as tempfile for temporary files that are not mentioned. Instead, I am turning to more recent text like Oracle8i & Unix Perf Tuning by Ahmed Alomari and Oracle Perf Tuning Tips by Richard Niemiec. Mark, loved your books. Can't wait for the updates.

This book made me some bucks
Many of the tricks and approaches offered in here can enable you to perform some impressive rescuing of slow applications. Management tends to like this quite a bit. Having had this book from way back, there were many tips in there that were not available from the standard Oracle documentation such as making a query return unique records by using the rowid in the where clause. If you're in a database-centric development or DBA position, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
