Expert Oracle Database Architecture

by Thomas Kyte, Darl Kuhn

Now in its third edition, this best-selling book continues to bring you some of the best thinking on how to apply Oracle Database to produce scalable applications that perform well and deliver correct results. Tom Kyte and Darl Kuhn share a simple "you can treat Oracle as a black box and just stick data into it, or you can understand how it works and exploit it as a powerful computing environment." If you choose the latter, then you’ll find that there are few information management problems that you cannot solve quickly and elegantly. This fully revised third edition covers the developments up to Oracle Database 12c. Significant new content is included surrounding Oracle's new cloud feature set, and especially the use of pluggable databases. Each feature is taught in a proof-by-example manner, not only discussing what it is, but also how it works, how to implement software using it, and the common pitfalls associated with it.

Don’t treat Oracle Database as a black-box. Get this book. Get under the hood. Turbo-charge your career.

Besides his extraordinary blog AskTom.com, Thomas Kyte also writes some of the best literature about how the Oracle Database works. This book is a must read for DBAs and architects as it explains the complexities in a highly readable form with examples and exercises to increase and deepen understanding. I cannot say enough about how great this book is.

Thomas Kyte is one of the best writers on Oracle database. When researching difficult to find info on reference partitioning, his book based explanation covered the topic the most completely.
