Oracle 8i Tuning and Administration: The Essential Reference is the most practical, efficient guide to Oracle 8i administration and tuning. Senior DBA Heidi Thorpe presents real-world problems, clear solutions, and the concepts behind them, giving DBAs the insights they need to understand why things work the way they do -- so they can make intelligent judgments, not simply follow "cookie-cutter" instructions. Oracle 8I Tuning and Administration begins with detailed solutions for day-to-day database administration: administering tables, constraints, indexes, datafiles, views, sequences, rollback segments, tablespaces, users, and more. Thorpe addresses the up-front database design issues that impact manageability and performance; offers extensive coverage of new Oracle 8i features; and reviews both database engine and application optimization in depth. The book also offers real-world insight and practical guidance for database sizing, monitoring, and space management. For all Oracle database administrators and managers responsible for supervising the day-to-day operations of Oracle databases and database-enabled Web sites.
