I am a great fan of Mr. Kyte. Bought the book with lots of expectations. The book is just a rehash of his previous classic “Expert one on one Oracle”.I totally have to agree with Lorraine de DBA review. Apart from what I have learned from his previous edition, I did not feel like learning any new 10g
features !
If you already own the previous book, don’t even bother buying this.

Perhaps I am asking too much for a Oracle technical reference maniual to be more reader friendly. The author’s writing style is banal at best and informative at worst. Take lot of caffeine before trying to read this book.
Tom Kyte is a renowned expert on Oracle. He is smart enough to write PLSQL to backup his points so few can dispute what he says about Oracle and how it functions.
The book stresses Oracle architecture. But I didn’t feel it went deep enough. For example, Tom states that Oracle never has table level lock escalation no matter how many locks are put into a table, but he never explains exactly how Oracle performs this feat. He also never delves into the Oracle block structure (as in Disk I/O).
The subjects Tom chooses to explain, however, are not only comprehensive but strongly backed up with PLSQL examples.

The book is very good. It is helpful for DBAs as well as Developers.

I recommend this book, more so if you are new to industrial strength relational databases of today (keeping in mind this review is in June 2009) and if you are new to Oracle. My main complaint is that the author spends too much time paying the “faint praise” to Microsoft SQL Server which spoils the book and fills up extra pages. I think the author should have concentrated on just Oracle 9/10 and left the competitive/comparison talk to Oracle sales (which I get download for free) – in context of this book it is not relevant. BTW, much of what the author says about SQL Server is not correct or no longer correct since release of SQL 2005 in CY2005, and SQL Server 2008 in CY2008. I hope the next edition of this book only talks about Oracle and how it works and leaves the other databases out.
