Oracle is an enormous system, with myriad technologies, options, and
releases. Most users-even experienced developers and database
administrators-find it difficult to get a handle on the full scope of
the Oracle database. And, as each new Oracle version is released, users
find themselves under increasing pressure to learn about a whole range
of new technologies. The latest challenge is Oracle Database 11g. This
book distills an enormous amount of information about Oracle into a
compact, easy-to-read volume filled with focused text, illustrations,
and helpful hints. It contains chapters on:
- Oracle products, options, data structures, and overall architecture
for Oracle Database 11g, as well as earlier releases (Oracle Database
10g, Oracle9i, and Oracle8i)
- Installing, running, managing, monitoring, networking, and tuning
Oracle, including Enterprise Manager (EM) and Oracle’s self-tuning and
management capabilities; and using Oracle security, auditing, and
compliance (a new chapter in this edition)
- Multiuser concurrency, data warehouses, distributed databases,
online transaction processing (OLTP), high availability, and hardware
architectures (e.g., SMP, clusters, NUMA, and grid computing)
- Features beyond the Oracle database: Oracle Application Express,
Fusion Middleware (including Oracle Application Server), and database
SOA support as a Web services provider The latest Oracle Database 11g
features: query result set caching, Automatic Memory Management, the
Real Application Testing, Advanced Compression, Total Recall, and Active
Data Guard Option Options, changes to the OLAP Option (transparently
accessed and managed as materialized views), the Flashback transaction
command, transparent data encryption, the Support Workbench (and
diagnosability infrastructure), and partitioning enhancements (including
interval and new composite types) For new Oracle users, DBAs,
developers, and managers, Oracle Essentials provides an invaluable,
all-in-one introduction to the full range of Oracle features and
technologies, including the just-released Oracle Database 11g features.
But even if you already have a library full of Oracle documentation,
you’ll find that this compact book is the one you turn to, again and
again, as your one-stop, truly essential reference. “Oracle Essentials
gives a clear explanation of the key database concepts and architecture
underlying the Oracle database. It’s a great reference for anyone doing
development or management of Oracle databases.” –Andrew Mendelsohn,
Senior Vice President, Database Server Technologies, Oracle Corporation
