Summary: 200 pages of gold dust
Comment: I think this book is exceedingly good.
The relevant, balanced,technical/commercial content backed by code and examples (Particularly the 1 page diagrams) presents Mr Scalzos unquestionable leadership in this field in a simple and unambiguous manner.
Mr Scalzo tells you EXACTLY how to design terabyte dwh databases with as fast as can be achieved response times.
Thank you sir, for telling me the facts.

Summary: awesome, pragmatic, authoritative, factual 9i DW book
Comment: Bert has written a very good book that's full of real life empirical facts and experiences, mainly from building a vary vary large DW for 7/11. Bert does especially good job describing I/O, partitioning, spindles. His section on high speed / high volume data loader techniques is also very very good.
I have been leading / managing / directing / coding Oracle software development projects for 15 years for 3 Fortune 100 companies, and am both technical as well as "functional". Highly recommend Bert's book for DBA's, SA's, designers, programmers, technical project managers.
Rating: 4
Summary: Pretty good if you can get past the attitude
Comment: The book offers a number of detailed tuning tips and insights from Mr. Scalzo's real world experience. That being said, the tone of the writing is really annoying. Mr. Scalzo's condescending style is unnecessary and takes away from what could be a very good book. At points, I actually broke out in laughter at his arrogance. However, if you can get past the author's attitude the content of the book seems to be quite helpful.
