Pro Oracle Database 12c Administration (The Expert's Voice) Paperback – January 1, 2013

Pre-ordered and received the book yesterday. I have completed reading the chapter 22 "database troublsehooting" this morning. This chapter alone is worth buying this book. I am going to read it from cover to cover. Great refresher on things you already know plus learn some new features specific to 11g and higher(12c)!

This book puts you on the seat of a professional that knows his stuff. Reading it is the best way to gain experience in the new, all powerful Oracle 12c.

I bought the book for a course in college, and found it full of useful information and advice. Lacks advance stuff, but doesn't promise it anyway.

Very well done.

This book doesn't concentrate on version 12c. The content itself is really elementary. For instance, the option "FLASHBACK ON" for the "CREATE TABLESPACE" is not even mentioned. Very little information is available about the performance aspects of the database administration. On the other hand, the chapter about the pluggable databases is excellent. It is, however, missing an example about un-plugging and re-plugging a database.This is a good book for a beginner who wants to get a overview of administration areas in Oracle but will not provide any version specific knowledge, which is what I was after, or provide any advanced DBA techniques.

This is a good book for the beginner and even the seasoned expert that needs a refresher. Darl is an excellent author.

I have read a lot of Oracle books in my life, some were written by known gurus in Oracle's space, and I can confidently say this one was really the best.This book narrows the gap between the theory and what is really going on in the real DBA job life. It describes what a DBA really faces in the real life and the best approach to handle the challenges he/she faces. You will find in this book the techniques that DBA learnt from experience and rarely found in a book or a learning material.Other points I really like on this book are: - it does not waste time writing unnecessarily theoretical stuff just to fill up some pages. It just hits the target and go on to the next, saving the valuable reader's time. - its language is easy and simple (good for those who's English isn't their first language, like me)I thank the author for providing his Oracle DBA knowledge gained from his extensive experience on this book.

Very good book, will recommend it to every Oracle DBA.

Für jeden Empfehlenswert, sehr gutes Buch, gut erklärt, detailliert. Das beste was ich gefunden habe. Man kann damit gut anfangen.

The book is simply awesome and covers every topic in-depth. I like the author's very balanced mix of practical and theoretical approach to writing. The book is a must have.

It's content is not good. I was looking more detail in the book. Didn't get its worth.

This book has covered all the intermediate to advanced points of 12c in a concise way with practical examples, worth to buy!

bought as a gift, its what he asked for so great!
