EXCELLENT!!! Could not ask for more!

After reading several books on Oracle, this one hits the topic on the nose. Please have a UNIX background but if you don't, it is still an excellent book. All basics are covered here to get you going on more advanced topics in Oracle. I really got a basic understanding of Oracle with this book and would highly recommend this to anyone trying to start out in Oracle. this was written for the common technical person who knows UNIX & computing technologies in general, but you will have a bigger advantage if you are a UNIX Admin.
Great Book, Must have!

Great book for anyone starting out as a Oracle DBA, takes the reader through detailed steps of setting up and maintaining an Oracle DBA. This book alone allowed me to setup my own Oracle server on Linux to get my OCP. I recommend SUSE linux with Oracle.

Oracle DBA on Unix and Linux is easy to read. It has a great flow. I have experience as a DBA, but am a little rusty. This book was just what I needed to bring me back up to speed. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in becomming a DBA, someone who supports a DBA, someone who wants to expand their knowledge of Oracle, or someone moving over to Unix/Linux from Windows. The book does not dive deeply into each topic. It pretty much presents the most important things you need to know. The book does assume a level of knowledge. A first time computer user would be lost. The book does discuss Unix/Linux, but only necessary information. For example, it does not include a chapter on installing Linux! The book also goes beyond the Oracle database, and includes general information on Java, Web DB, and iAS. I have many books on computers, including many O'Reilly books, and this book stands out as one of the more enjoyable reads!
Life saver!

It is a great a book! Every new oracle DBA must have this book. How many books available in the market to talk about oracle and unix/linux? Not much. The author of this book is very intellegent to provide precisly the concept of oracle database in few lines compare to other books where the content was too elobrate but not clear. If you are a college graduate and new to oracle/unix environment, I would say that you have to have this book. I wish the author will consider adding more real world DBA challenges and experiences in the future edition. Excellent job!
