Linux and Solaris Recipes for Oracle DBAs, 2nd Edition is a new edition of a consistent seller aimed at the working database administrator. The book's appeal is from it's emphasis on examples directly relating to tasks an administrator performs every day, even every hour. The prior edition's track-record of five-star reviews on Amazon.com testifies to the authors' familiarity with the audience and their ability to hit the mark on what the audience needs. New in this edition is coverage of Oracle Solaris, thereby broadening the book's audience to include not only Linux customers, but those using Solaris as well. Also new is coverage of virtualization and consolidation, two of the biggest trends to hit the industry in years. The new coverage expands the audience for the book, and should lead to even larger sales and a greater stature in the market place.
