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 O'Reilly Media, Inc.  / SQL and Relational Theory: How to Write Accurate SQL Code Publication date: 2009-02-05
Dewey code: 005
List Price: $39.99
Price: $35.77

Review SQL and Relational Theory: How to Write Accurate SQL Code / O'Reilly Media, Inc.:

Understanding SQL's underlying theory is the best way to guarantee that your SQL code is correct and your database schema is robust and maintainable. On the other hand, if you're not well versed in the theory, you can fall into several traps. In SQL and Relational Theory, author C. J. Date demonstrates how you can apply relational theory directly to your use of SQL. With numerous examples and clear explanations of the reasoning behind them, you'll learn how to deal with common SQL dilemmas, such as: Should database access granted be through views instead of base tables? Nulls in your database are causing you to get wrong answers. Why? What can you do about it? Could you write an SQL query to find employees who have never been in the same department for more than six months at a time? SQL supports "quantified comparisons," but they're better avoided. Why? How do you avoid them? Constraints are crucially important, but most SQL products don't support them properly. What can you do to resolve this situation? Database theory and practice have evolved since Edgar Codd originally defined the relational model back in 1969. Independent of any SQL products, SQL and Relational Theory draws on decades of research to present the most up-to-date treatment of the material available anywhere. [+]
Anyone with a modest to advanced background in SQL will benefit from the many insights in this book.

Review Apress  / Beginning SQL Server 2000 Programming Edition: Revised
Publication date: 2001-05-31
Dewey code: 005
List Price: $44.99
Price: $35.99

Review Beginning SQL Server 2000 Programming / Apress:

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 provides enterprise-class database solutions, offering interactive development tools and complete management of your relational database applications. In this book you'll build a sample database with SQL Server and in the process learn how to design with solutions in mind. If you are migrating from a desktop solution such as Access to SQL Server, this book will provide you with clear and practical demonstrations of the relevant tasks at every stage in the process. Once you've mastered the basics of SQL Server, you'll move on to learn more advanced techniques. By the end of this book, you'll have a firm grasp of the most important SQL Server features and be able to develop your own effective database solutions. Aimed at those starting out with SQL Server databases as programmers or administrators, Beginning SQL Server 2000 Programming can put basic database skills in reach for readers of all levels. Packed with screen shots of how to use the relevant SQL Server tools and wizards, this book sets a high standard for accessibility for a tutorial text on Microsoft databases. Most titles use screen shots to at least guide readers through installation of computer software and then turn to a more text-based presentation style later on. Not so with this text, which has several hundred screen shots used throughout showing SQL Server tools in action. After covering how to install and configure SQL Server (a trial edition is including on the accompanying CD), the author continues to show off tools like Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer at work with plenty of step-by-step, hands-on tutorials with plentiful screen shots. [+]
This book walks you through designing and creating a simple database (one that stores results for a golf league). In most every case, the author shows off using a tool alongside a more "manual" approach using SQL to get the job done. (For example, there's step-by-step coverage of how to create tables and indexes using Enterprise Manager, as well as how to do the same tasks using raw SQL in Query Analyzer. ) Along the way, there is a solid tutorial to basic SQL for querying, inserting, updating, and deleting data, plus a good introduction to stored procedures and triggers. The strong sections on backing up and restoring databases are all you need to get started with basic database administration in SQL Server. Besides nuts-and-bolts DBA tasks, this book also offers a quick introduction to XML support available on the Microsoft database platform. The text closes with a handy listing of all T-SQL keywords, plus a guide to security options and settings available in SQL Server. In all, this hands-on guide to database essentials can let you start effectively administering and programming with SQL Server regardless of your level of database experience. -Richard Dragan Topics Covered: SQL Server 2000 versions explained Hardware requirements Installing SQL Server Database administration tools (including Enterprise Manager and Server Manager) Query Analyzer tutorial Basic database analysis and design (defining fields and normalization) Creating databases (including a sample database for golf league results) Creating tables (NULL values and SQL data types) Indexes (design hints, clustered, and nonclustered indexes) Referential integrity Foreign keys Table relationships (one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many joins) Database diagrams Backups and recovery (using wizards and generating SQL scripts) Automated maintenance and planning Basic T-SQL tutorial Inserting data (including image data) Retrieving data (including filters and string functions) Updating data (plus transactions) Deleting data (including truncating and dropping tables) Using views and stored procedures (including system variables and system stored procedures) XML basics Publishing XML data on the Web Using triggers Reference to T-SQL functions and security options.

Publication date: 2004-11-02
Dewey code: 005
List Price: $59.99
Price: $42.99

Review Pro .NET Oracle Programming / Apress:

This book never loses sight of its instructional mission: to effectively utilize the Oracle database from the. NET environment. Though Visual Studio and Oracle form a popular and powerful duo, there is a noticeable lack of written material in this area. The result: projects that often turn out with less-than-optimal solutions, due to lack of "synergy" between the application developer and the database. The primary code in the book will be C#, but the code download will also be available in VB. NET (with an appendix describing terms of use). Hence, this book provides a one-stop reference for any VS. NET programmer using Oracle. The author maintains solid focus on databases&emdash;emphasizing the use of specific features from a Visual Studio application. The text also includes crucial aspects of developing Oracle-based applications. [+]
Assumably, you are already comfortable with the VS. NET environment, and with the aid of this book, you will come to work effectively with the Oracle database as well.
