Author Description

More Oracle databases are deployed on UNIX systems than any other platform. Oracle Database Administration on UNIX Systems is the first comprehensive guide to Oracle database administration on UNIX platforms. For both new and experienced DBAs and managers, this book presents a thorough overview of Oracle database architecture; step-by-step guidance for planning, sizing, and installing Oracle systems; and expert guidance on UNIX-specific configuration and tuning issues. Expert Oracle DBA Lynnwood Brown reviews Oracle security and auditing features, backup/recovery strategies, and techniques for streamlining account management, such as roles and data dictionary views. He shows how to use Oracle's SQL*Net technology in networked client/server environments, how to use constraints and other Oracle data integrity features, and how to incorporate external data in Oracle database systems.
