"Finally, a book that doesn't put you to sleep and doesn't linger on trivia. The tips and insights are really excellent and teach a trick or two to even the most experienced user. Should figure in the list of top 10 books for Oracle experts."

"Wouldn't have expected anything less from Rich Niemiec. Truly brilliant! This book is a gold mine of information not just for DBAs, but for any developer who uses Oracle and wants to improve the quality of their work."

"This is a tremendous book. I was impressed after just the first chapter. Chapter one is packed full of information and tips and you see very quickly that the people from TUSC know what they're talking about. And best of all, they are willing to share all that knowledge with the rest of us. This book provides a level of detail that I have seldom found in other reference books. I can't wait for the next one in this series."
