Expert Oracle Practices: Oracle Database Administration from the Oak Table

by Pete Finnigan, Alex Gorbachev, Randolf Geist

This book is an anthology of effective database management techniques representing the collective wisdom of the OakTable Network. With an emphasis upon performance―but also branching into security, national language, and other issues―the book helps you deliver the most value for your company’s investment in Oracle Database technologies. You’ll learn to effectively plan for and monitor performance, to troubleshoot systematically when things go wrong, and to manage your database rather than letting it manage you.

A really interesting work. My favourite chapter is the 12th about Latch Contention, written by Riyaj Shamsudeen, that contains a wonderful description of the Latch acquisition algorithms and the Buffer Cache CBC structure.
Other really interesting chapters, because of the arguments that I prefer, are the last two chapters about Security, written by Pete Finnigan.
All the chapters are very well written by a team of Oracle top experts!
