This sounded like a good book, judging by the reviews here, but being relatively new to the Oracle world, I haven't found this book terribly useful so far. Oracle's docs have been much more helpful and detailed. I was hoping for a book that shared the author's experience and tips and helped the reader make decisions, but this seems to be largely a command reference, covering many topics superficially.

This is a complete and comprihensive book. Has helped me understand various topics of 10g. It great for new as well as experienced Oracle users/ developers/ DBA.

As a DBA who travels around the country constantly, my main reason for purchasing this book was the CD-ROM which claims to contain a copy of the book in pdf format along with code examples. Imagine my surprise when I found the included CD is blank. The book is for the office, the CD for the road. Osborne needs to get their act together. I haven't a clue how to get a good CD without returning the book.

B.F. is right-on about the missing diagrams. While Kevin Loney's "Oracle 10g DBA Handbook" is excellent because it is diagram packed, "The Complete Reference" is not complete without them. I bought Mr. Loney's DBA book and love it, but his Complete Reference was passed over. I think it would be more marketable & useful if "The Complete Reference" were broken up into two volumes: "10g The Complete Reference: For DBA's VOL. 1" and "10g The Complete Reference: For Programmer's VOL. 2" and published in hardcover editions.

With a 1200+ page book, entitled "The Complete Reference", I would have expected much more information about proper configuration. Properly configuring Oracle (I'm running it on Unix) is no trivial matter and I found this book to be severely lacking. While it seems like a good reference to have (hence 3 / 5 stars), it looks like I'm going to have to look for other resources.
