✦ Synopsis

The book that you have in your hands is not an exhaustive reference manual by
any stretch of the term it is a more manageable introduction to key Oracle Database
administration topics, including planning, installation, monitoring, troubleshooting,
maintenance, backups, and performance tuning—to name just a few. You’ll be getting
the benefit of my experience not just the party line found in the manuals. For example,
for reasons explained inside, I emphasize the Statspack tool instead of Automatic Workload
Repository (AWR).
In this book, 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 that chapter
to heart, you can quickly become a much better Oracle database administrator than you
ever thought possible.
