Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Reasonable overview, but more sophisticated scripts missing........1999-09-15

We were disappointed that the more sophisticated scripts alluded to in the text (those that would support 'high performance' in the title) were not included on the CD. We thought perhaps the missing scripts would be on the Coriolis web site, but the publisher's web site seems to indicate they no longer support the book. Therefore, this book is evidently obsolete.

5 out of 5 stars Great book fopr Oracle tuning.......1997-12-31

I spent hours looking at Oracle book, and this one was the easiest to understand and had the best tuning information. The CD-ROM was especially useful, and it had some tuning queries that allowed me to nearly double the speed of my application.

5 out of 5 stars Helpful for DBA's and non-DBA's alike.......1997-05-17

I was recently on a site where PowerBuilder reports were running very, very slowly (four hours and more). The SQL looked OK so I created some new, denormalized tables. Then I turned to Burleson's book for tuning Oracle as well as the one from O'Reilly. There was no DBA at this company and the books were a godsend. Burleson's is clear and you can easily pick out the parts that apply to your particular site. By the time I finished the reports ran in five minutes or less and this book was a real aid in getting that done

          Book Description

          Using a horizontal organization (i.e., by task rather than program) Computer Literacy introduces students in the behavioral sciences to the computer resources they use on campus to do their work. Beginning with an introduction to computers, authors Ira H. Bernstein and Paul Havig use numerous examples with demonstrations (such as how to export an Excel file to a Word file) to show the reader how to select between programs for their specific needs, how to use the computer for communication and literature search purposes, how to use computers for databases and statistical programming, and some basics of computer programming. To enhance your students reading, the authors provide:
