the author tries to explain much of his thoughts in mathematical formuls (nothing difficult) but it didn't add to the comprehension of the topic. from Amazon.com in addition, the first part should be read by the whole team: hardware purchaser, software architect, programmer. from Amazon.com the first hardly talks about oracle at all. from Amazon.com that's a good, short description of almost everything that's been said about oracle tuning over the last 15 years.surprisingly, the facts about tuning oracle are pretty simple. from Amazon.com the internals mechanisms of the oracle engine.after dusting-off my 1970's calculus texts (thank god i took 4 semesters of calculus), i was able to start this epic tome.this is not an easy read! from Amazon.com so in essence i would have re-named this book "method r: optimizing oracle performance using extended sql trace data," because that is basically what this book is about. from Amazon.com this is a tremendous book.some difficult material that is covered with detailed and simple explanations. from Amazon.com combined with cary's clear and easy to follow writing style, this book certainly is a must have for any oracle dba. from Amazon.com this book is a great starting point for beginners (like myself) or a good reference for even experienced oracle dbas. from Amazon.com in a style that will be appreciated by the beginner, intermediate and advanced dba/developer, cary and jeff introduce the reader to the world of the oracle wait interface. from Amazon.com
