Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference (Pocket Reference (O'Reilly))
  
The Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference is a handy, quick-reference guide to the multitude of Oracle utilities that database administrators (DBAs) use every hour of every day. As the undisputed leader among database products, Oracle is grasped conceptually by most DBAs. However, they understandably may not recall the specific utility to use for a given task, and, more commonly, won't in many cases remember the syntax to use. And that's exactly what the Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference supplies--the syntax and options for whatever utility a DBA needs to perform a given task. Some of the utilities documented in this guide include:
  • SQL*Loader, for loading data
  • expdp and exp for exporting data to another database
  • oradebug for use in troubleshooting
  • loadjava and dropjava for loading and unloading Java programs
Packed with information in an easy-to-read format, this valuable resource is ideal for any experienced DBA. Even database programmers who deal with Oracle will truly appreciate having the Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference close at hand. Authored by Sanjay Mishra, a foremost authority on Oracle systems, this convenient and compact guide is focused and to-the-point, eliminating any potential guesswork or difficult memorization. The Oracle Utilities Pocket Reference is part of the strong-selling collection of O'Reilly "pocket reference" books.

(Hide Review...)  Great Little Reference - just like UNIX man pages!!!
Reviewer Permalink
If you're used to UNIX-like man pages, then this is a great guide for Oracle's utilities. Quick, concise, no fluff and well organized. It provides just enough detail where needed but doesn't go into overkill on the topics.

It has already saved me a ton of time and if you use Oracle even semi-regularly, this is a must-have.

(Hide Review...)  Compact and Useful
Reviewer Permalink
This O'Reilly pocket reference contains straightforward documentation about the Oracle DBMS utility set, current as of 10g (expdp and impdp are included). Terse, accurate, straightforward. A much faster way to find answers (once you know the questions) than the often wordy Oracle Press tomes and a useful supplement to that series, for the everyday Oracle DBA.

(Hide Review...)  examples for quick usage
Reviewer Permalink
Mishra gives an Oracle DBA a concise guide to version 10g, the latest Oracle database. The blurb on the back cover refers to a plethora of options with these utilities. Thumbing through the book, you can certainly see this. And who can remember all those, or want to? Hence the reason for the book.

The notation is BNF and should be familiar to any unix user. But also very useful in the book are the examples given of common usage of most utilities, with typical results also shown. Sometimes, the quickest way to grasp a usage.
