Iggy Fernandez's Book on Oracle 11g Released
Iggy Fernandez's excellent book on Oracle 11g Database Administration: Beginning Oracle Database 11g Administration From Novice to Professionalis available for purchase on online sites such as Amazon and in book stores such as Borders. The book is meant for junior Oracle DBAs as well as system administrators and application developers. It's not really an 11g book because the lessons in the book are equally applicable to Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 11g. Here's what it says on the back cover:
"If you are an IT professional who has been thrust into an Oracle Database administration role without the benefit of formal training, or you just want to understand how Oracle Database works, then I wrote this book for you. It's the book I wish I'd had when I first started using Oracle Database so many years ago. It's the book that I would have liked to have given to the many IT colleagues and friends who, over the years, have asked me to teach them the basics of Oracle Database.
Why choose my book when there are so many exhaustive reference manuals for Oracle Database available for free download on the Oracle website? Because my book is not an exhaustive reference manual, but instead is a manageable introduction to key Oracle Database topics including planning, installation, monitoring, troubleshooting, maintenance, and backups, to name just a few. You'll also be getting the benefit of my experience, and not just the party line. For example, for reasons explained inside, I emphasize the Statspack tool instead of Automatic Workload Repository.
In Beginning Oracle Database 11g Administration, you'll find information that you won't find in other books on Oracle Database. Here you'll find not just technical information but guidance on the work practices that are as vital to your success as technical skills. The most important chapter in the book is The Big Picture and the Ten Deliverables. If you take the lessons in this chapter to heart, you can quickly become a better Oracle database administrator than you ever thought possible. I hope this book helps you do exactly that."
