Comments on Robert Freeman
Robert G. Freeman
is one of the most famous Oracle experts and author of eight popular
Oracle books, including Oracle9i RMAN Backup & Recovery and the
bestselling Oracle9i New Features book.
A respected Oracle expert and author, Robert serves as a writer for
DBAZine and SELECT Magazine.
"This book really delivers on its promise. Each time Oracle has
released a new database version, many DBAs would be looking for a
good reference to summarize and explain the new features for that
version and how to use them. Until now, there has never really been
a good reference for experienced DBAs to mull over.
There were only a few, non-exhaustive references for 8i, even
less for 8, and almost nothing for 7. Robert has done an excellent
job in hitting the most important points for all the new features,
showing us how to use them and providing accurate, workable code and
syntax.
His style is lively and keeps you interested, which is in direct
contrast to Oracle documentation and many other books and articles
which are way too dry. This is a great book and I wholeheartedly
recommend it to any experienced DBA who needs a succinct starting
point on Oracle9i. Robert, can't wait to see what you do for 10i!"
Once again, Robert has published a book that is concise and
essential to the early adopters of 10g. After reading Oracle's
documentation, searching online, I still came across some
undocumented major 'gotchas' in a new 10g install. Within the first
5 minutes of reading the book, I came across the main
one...automatic statistics gathering.
It is not an in-depth exploration of 10g and it does not replace the
standard documentation. However, it provides a quick reference to
find the new features and decide if you need to explore more
in-depth. After years of "new" books that are 90% old material with
10% direct-from-the-documentation info, it is refreshing to have a
single book that we can use to rapidly locate the new features that
are/are not important.
