Oracle 10G Linux Administration Book Review

Deploy and Optimise Oracle Database 10g in a Linux Environment

Oracle Database 10g Linux Administration takes you from installing and configuring Oracle Database 10g on a Linux enterprise platform through to administering, monitoring and tuning of the database.

Linux Administration instructs you how to implement High Availability solutions, backups, recovery and database replication. Linux Administration also covers how to install and configure Oracle Application Server 10g on Linux.

The first third of Linux Administration discusses the Linux operating system and covers Oracle architecture and how to size and layout your proposed database. The following third of the book discusses installing the database, Real Application Clusters (RAC) and how to tune the Oracle database on Linux. The final third of the book covers backup and restoring the database, Oracle Data Guard (which is a disaster recovery solution which allows you to look after standby databases), tuning SQL and how to partition your data.

If you are thinking about installing an Oracle database or you already look after an Oracle database which runs on Linux then Linux Administration will be just what you need, as it covers all the main DBA areas and is just applicable to the Linux OS and no others. Linux Administration will give you a thorough grounding on how to install and administer an Oracle database running on Linux.
