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.

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.
