As an Oracle DBA of "old" (or if you want traditional) type who get used to work with tools and utilities coming from only reputable vendors, such as Oracle Corp., I was pleasantly surprised by discovering a whole new world of applications that are well written, thoroughly tested and extremely valuable for both Oracle pros., and new learners. Not to mention that all of them are totally free. More specifically, such applications as ViennaSQL, JDBA, OracleTools - all very detailed described in this book - found immediate use in my everyday work. The authors did a supreme work on discovering and presenting to us a scope of applications that will satisfy the most critical readers.


Standing alone is a chapter on DB Prism/Cocoon. As far as I'm concerned, just this part of the book alone justifies a purchase and time spent on reading.


Strongly recommend.
