This book is amazing. As a true believer in the methods put forth by Hotsos,
highlighted in various whitepapers available online, and a great admirer of the technical expertise brought forward by all Oaktable members (of which I had the distinct privilege to meet a few), I didn't have to think twice about this purchase. I read it twice cover to cover during one weekend, as the author's enthusiasm really rubs off.
While other books often just list an array of scripts and seemingly random pieces of information to equip the reader with the means to do Oracle performance tuning, this book not only arms you with the technical know-how, but also an inspiring 'can-do' frame of mind plus the author's proven way of tackling performance issues.
Surprisingly, this book is an easy read. But very hard to put down.
If you've heard of Hotsos.com, you've probably got a copy of this book already.
If you haven't, you're in for a treat.
