This book is seriously out of date. In fact, it should no longer be on sale.


I bought it about 4 years ago, but never got as much out of it as I could have - just about 3-4 scripts that I found useful.


Problem is now the scripts are seriously out-of-date (no partitioning, no support for Oracle8i,9i features etc).


The lack of updates/support for these scripts is disappointing. The stated purpose of this book is to prevent DBAs from re-inventing the wheel by supplying a series of tried and tested scripts. Unfortunately thousands of DBAs are now attempting to update these ageing scripts individually - or writing their own from scratch.


A shame.
