Linux and Solaris Recipes for Oracle DBAs, 2nd Edition is an
example-based book on managing Oracle Database under Linux and Solaris.
The book is written for database administrators who need to get work
done and lack the luxury of curling up fireside with a stack of
operating-system documentation. What this book provides instead is
task-oriented coverage designed around the needs of the Oracle Database
Administrator. Find the right chapter. Look up the task to perform. See
the solution. Implement the solution straight away in your own
environment. Get the job done.
New in this edition is coverage of Oracle's own Solaris operating
system. Oracle Corporation has been working diligently to bring
commonality between Solaris and and Linux, and this book takes advantage
of those efforts to provide task-oriented solutions that work on common
distributions of Linux such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Oracle
Enterprise Linux while also accommodating the growing number of Oracle
Solaris customers. Examples in the book match the tasks DBAs perform
daily, even hourly. Solutions come first in the book, but alway are
followed by close explanations of the details.
