Summary: Superb coverage of major issues for dba/developer
Review: I just bought this book yesterday and read some of the scripts. They are really good and the authors have taken care to explain them in detail. Worth the penny, for any serious dba/developer.

Summary: Finally, a useful Oracle book
Review: I saw this book at Oracle OpenWorld SF and knew I had to get it! This book has scripts that are immediately useful. Combining these scripts with my own personal library of code has increased my own efficiency and proficiency in Oracle! This is a must buy for anybody programming, operating, or administering Oracle environments. Kudos to Loney and Carmichael for this book!

Summary: Usefull for tuning, not really for developers
Review: The book shows a lot of scripts that show the dictionary tables in a nice report. If you know your way around in the dictionary (mainly V$% and DBA_% tables) and are not interested in a nice layout, most of the scripts are not that hard to make yourself.

Summary: Excellent addition to DBA tool box!
Review: This book has saved me several hours of work. The text is well thought out and well laid out so the precise script you are looking for can be easily found. Also, the annotations are clear and meaningful to the point where extending the functionality of the scripts (which is rare considering the depth and bredth of the script catalog) is simple enough that my Junior DBAs had no trouble doing so. If this isn't in a DBAs book shelf, it should be!

Summary: Excellent Book - Used Time and Time Again
Review: This was one of the first Oracle DBA books I read and it was excellent. I have written numerous DBA admin and repair scripts that run in NT 'AT' jobs at night and this book gave me a great start. The book is well written and the scripts were instantly useful. This book along with a few others is one of the best around and I use it nearly every day. This book blows away the 'Oracle Scripts' book by O'Reilly (although their SQLPlus book is very good.)

Summary: Very useful
Review: This was very useful for a DBA who wants to quickly snag some code to help manage the databases. Well worth the cash.
