Expert Oracle Database Architecture:
Oracle Database 9i, 10g, and 11g Programming
Techniques and Solutions, Second Edition
Dear Reader,
Expert Oracle Database Architecture, 2nd Edition is a book that explores and
defines the Oracle database. In this book I’ve selected what I consider to be
the most important Oracle architecture features, and I teach them in a proof-
by-example manner. You’ll learn what each feature is, how it works, how to
implement software using it, and the common pitfalls associated with it. Most
importantly, you’ll avoid the pitfall of treating Oracle Database as a black box.
This second edition adds material reflecting the way that Oracle Database 11g
Release 2 works, updates stories about implementation pitfalls, and discusses
new capabilities in the database such as transparent column and tablespace
encryption. You may be surprised at the number of changes from the first edi-
tion. I was. Many times in preparing this edition I learned of changes in the way
that Oracle Database works that I was not yet aware of.
Expert Oracle Database Architecture, 2nd Edition is a reflection of what I do
every day. The material covers topics and questions that I see people continually
struggling with, and I cover these issues from a perspective of “When I use this, I
do it this way.” This book is the culmination of many years’ experience using the
Oracle database, in myriad situations. Ultimately, my goal in this book is to help
DBAs and developers work together to build correct, high-performance, and
scalable Oracle applications.
Don’t treat Oracle Database as a black box. Take time to understand Oracle
Database, and you will find that there are few information management prob-
lems that you cannot solve quickly and easily.
