Excellent reference for both the new and experienced DBA
While this book does not delve in depth into many of the more advanced features of the 9i release of the Oracle Database, 'Expert Oracle9i Database Administration' does a wonderful job of bringing the features to the level where the reader is. This is probably the books best feature. Not only does it introduce new DBAs to the concepts of Relational Databases, but also Linux, Unix and Windows as they apply to the database. Not only does the Alapati lead you through the architecture of the 9i database, but provides practical advice and tips that the reader will find himself relying on as he works every day with the database. The How-Tos are some of the most useful and practical that I have seen. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning Oracle or anyone who is already working with it.

its worth the money!
I am a beginner and had difficulties of starting Oracle 9 in Windows on my computer. Then i got this book i managed to start it in a very short time. Besides every little thing i try to look for is in that book. Last but not the least 1200 pages book appeared to be less clumsy then i thougt it would be.

Extremely Satisfied
Quote from Back cover.

"Dear Reader,
This book is the result of my strong conviction that there ought to be a single volume where all (or almost all) the important features of Oracle9i/Release 2 database administration are brought together."

The book certainly accomplishes this objective. The scope and wealth of experience/information is truly outstanding. There are many examples, command outputs, screen shots explaining the topics being discussed. I particularly appreciated the OEM coverage, and third party add-ons etc. etc.

I can only recommend this book in the strongest possible terms as a means of learning to work as an Oracle DBA in the minimum amount of time, yet, with a well above average capability.

For me, the book had everything, and im really pleased with it.
