Summary: Not for beginners
Comment: As a programmer with experience in MS SQL Serer, this book appealed as a first introduction to Oracle. Unfortunately, too much space has been dedicated to complicated and unnecessary detail. For example, early chapters go to great detail of setting up the SQL Plus utility, interesting, but frequently I found myself skipping page after page that I didn't need as a beginner and there's no way I would remember. As a beginners' book, it's disappointing to find installation of the database pushed all the way back to chapter 7, and with that the chapter starts by saying that a full coverage of installations is beyond the scope of this book! If installing the database is not important for beginners, what is? Final word, this book isn't for beginners.

Summary: Great introduction to being a DBA
Comment: As an aspiring Oracle DBA (I am currently an Oracle PL/SQL programmer), I found the insights that this book provided invaluable. It is a great overview of what it takes to be an Oracle DBA and what your day-to-day tasks would likely be. I only wish that it covered certification in more detail, but it does go into a lot of detail in many other areas. I especially liked the installation details, and crisis/backup/restore management.
I am curious as to what an experienced DBA would think of this book, but will have to wait until I am one.
