Oracle Wait interface
Excellent condition.
Its as good as new - though i paid second hand prices for it :)
Excellent examples - easy to understand and use
I read the book and was immediately able to get to the root causes of a slow running Oracle database. Very well organized.
Skillful Oracle book!
The way in which the concepts are explained by the authors is Skillful.
Tired of reading obscure explanations about latches?
If so, read this book to learn it.
The authors were able to explain what Oracle latches are and how they work.
It's the only one book you need to understand how Oracle wait events should be used as a tuning tool.
It's a "definitive guide!"
Kirtikumar Deshpande, K. Gopalakrishnan are the Best Authors !
I loved this book and it has helped me many many times to reduce the contention in database , thus by improving the performance by 100% to 150%...
With this book, I was actually able to implement the concepts, whereas other books I read , were more derived from oracle manuals.
Thanks to Kirtikumar Deshpande, K. Gopalakrishnan for this book,
If you need to tune the database, this is the book for you.
Bye Bye Cache Hit Ratio
This is one of my favorite books. It gives easy to understand descriptions and examples. It is a must have for tuning. It is nicely organized and highly useful in a "crisis" situation.
Hats off to Kirti & Richmond and to the editors I don't have to remember everything 'cept where I put this book.
