Review High-Performance Oracle: Proven Methods for Achieving Optimum Performance and Availability / Wiley:"Geoff Ingram has met the challenge of presenting the complex process of managing Oracle performance. This book can support every technical person looking to resolve Oracle8i and Oracle9i performance issues. " -Aki Ratner, President, Precise Software Solutions Ensuring high-performance and continuous availability of Oracle software is a key focus of database managers. At least a dozen books address the subject of "performance tuning"- that is, how to fine-tune the Oracle database for its greatest processing efficiency. Geoff Ingram argues that this approach simply isn't enough. He believes that performance needs to be addressed right from the design stage, and it needs to cover the entire system-not just the database. High-Performance Oracle is a hands-on book, loaded with tips and techniques for ensuring that the entire Oracle database system runs efficiently and doesn't break down. Written for Oracle developers and DBAs, and covering both Oracle8i and Oracle9i, the book goes beyond traditional performance-tuning books and covers the key techniques for ensuring 24/7 performance and availability of the complete Oracle system. The book provides practical solutions for: * Choosing physical layout for ease of administration and efficient use of space * Managing indexes, including detecting unused indexes and automating rebuilds * SQL and system tuning using the powerful new features in Oracle9i Release 2 * Improving SQL performance without modifying code * Running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) for performance and availability * Protecting data using Recover Manager (RMAN), and physical and logical standby databases The companion Web site provides the complete source code for examples in the book, updates on techniques, and additional documentation for optimizing your Oracle system.

Review Pro SQL Server 2005 Assemblies / Apress:Pro SQL Server 2005 Assemblies provides a detailed and example-driven tutorial on how to build and use. NET assemblies. The authors focus on building assemblies in C#, but also provide the equivalent VB. NET code in the supplied code download. Assemblies are not a complete replacement for T-SQL stored procedures and triggers; rather, they're enhancements, to be used at the right place and right time. This book examines the ins and outs of assemblies&emdash;when they should and should not be used, what you can do with them, and how you can get the most out of them.

Review Data Mining and Statistical Analysis Using SQL / Apress:This book is not just another theoretical text about statistics or data mining. No, instead it is aimed for you DBAs who want to use SQL, or bolster your understanding of statistics to support data mining and customer relationship management analytics. Each chapter is self-contained, with examples tailored to real business applications. And each analysis technique will be expressed in a mathematical format for coding as either a database query or a VB procedure using SQL. Chapter contents include formulas, graphs, charts, tables, data mining techniques, and more! Data Mining and Statistical Analysis Using SQL concerns itself with the interface between applied mathematics-the discipline of statistical analysis-and really applied mathematics in the form of Structured Query Language (SQL) code that carries out such analysis. It's a subject that deserves careful coverage in a book, and the authors of this one-both working analysts with distinguished academic backgrounds-have done great work. If you're faced with a need to derive meaning from large quantities of data (from retail sales, industrial processes, or even scientific observations), and canned analysis tools aren't cutting it for you, take time to study what Robert Trueblood and John Lovett have to say. Though some background in statistics will help you pick up on what Trueblood and Lovett have written, a low-level university class (even one far in your past) should be enough. Their approach to all of the analysis techniques they teach is to explain terms and concepts with prose, then with graphs, then with formulas. Then, they translate the formulas into SQL queries for Microsoft Access and show variations on the code that yield differently tweaked results. [+]
Finally, T-SQL source code (for Microsoft SQL Server 2000) is listed, though most readers will prefer to grab this code from the book's companion Web site. Additional coverage of graphics would make this book better, but in its present state it's great reading for people who want to interpret their mountains of data. -David Wall Topics covered: Statistical analysis as a set of mathematical tools that may be implemented in Structured Query Language (SQL), specifically SQL variants for Microsoft database products. Chapters explain how to use hypothesis testing, curve fitting, scatter plots, measurements of central tendency, and regression analysis to spot significant characteristics of data.

Review From Access to SQL Server / Apress:Illustrates best practices for migrating Access databases to SQL Server. Carefully explains the differences between these two systems and the changes needed for a smooth migration. Assumes no prior knowledge of SQL Server. Although Microsoft's Access Database is extremely popular and adequate for smaller scale applications, many Access developers are discovering that their applications need a more robust, enterprise-ready database system like SQL Server. This book is designed as a guide for Access programmers looking to make this transition, but who have little or no prior experience with SQL Server. Veteran Author Russell Sinclair begins by discussing SQL Server, its architecture and application environment, and its differences from Access. He provides coverage of key topics including security, data storage, system databases, database objects, and queries. After reviewing SQL Server, he covers core migration issues, frameworks for decision making, and the migration process itself. Specific topics include Microsoft's Upsizing Wizards, use of SQL Server's Data Transformation Services (DTS), options for connecting Access databases directly to SQL Server, differences and similarities between Tables and Views in Access and SQL Server, how to write SQL Server stored procedures, and how to convert existing Access reports to stored procedures.

Review Mastering Oracle PL/SQL: Practical Solutions / Apress:This isn't a tutorial on how to code PL/SQL. It's designed to show you how to code PL/SQL well. It shows you how to write code that will run quickly and won't break in high-load, multiuser environments. It covers the vast array of the functionality that PL/SQL provides, including effective handling of relational and abstract data, security, triggers, dynamic web content presentation from within the database, creation of a DBA toolkit, and effective debugging techniques. This book sets out to redress the unjust criticism leveled at PL/SQL in years gone by. It gives you the tools and techniques to ensure that, whatever your needs are, the PL/SQL you build will run as efficiently as possible. The practical solutions provided in this book will help you to realize the true power and functionality PL/SQL can offer your projects. Mastering Oracle PL/SQL: Practical Solutions is targeted primarily toward the DBA or developer charged with the implementation of effective data handling, security, and database administration mechanisms in the Oracle database. However, it will also have great appeal to any developer whose applications rely on an Oracle database and who needs a sound understanding of how to use PL/SQL effectively. If you're brand-new to PL/SQL, then you'll want to take some time to get familiar with the language before tackling this book. [+]
It's not for the total beginner. But once you're up and running, you'll find this book an invaluable guide for ensuring that the PL/SQL solutions you build are robust, perform well, and are easy to maintain.
