Rating:  - Excellent book, CD much more convenient
This book is a great resource for the new or experienced DBA. With so many configuration options and infrequently used features it is nice to have one source for all of this information.
Also, the CD which accompanies the book makes carrying the book and searching it much faster.
Rating: - Not for a newbie, But great book for Professionals
Very bulky, Really covers a great deal. Not good for new programmer who wasnts to learn Oracle from Scrach.
Rating: - Good for the basics
This book is excellent to know the basics of the Oracle 10g Administration, as its name says, is a complete reference about the whole database software, includes a big part of PL/SQL and complete chapters about tuning tips and security, It's a must for an Oracle DBA, but I put only 4 stars because I think Lonely tried to cover a lot of things in this book, and obvious, it only mention the keys for eache point; and if you want the complete solution for one topic, you need to consult other resureces like OTN. Whatever, is an excelent reference.

Price about $20 less than Borders. Like the book says "it is a complete reference". Very helpful.
Rating: - Perfect
This is the best book about Oracle 10g I have ever used. It can be read from one end to the other getting comprehensive knowledge of Oracle features. Or you can use it as a reference looking up just in one chapter. Each chapter is independent and clearly explain about the topic in such a manner that you can easily understand it even if you have not read the rest of the book.
I would say this is a must have book if your going to use Oracle 10g. As some one else said it is not a book about configuration, it is a book about the features.
