I totally disagree with that comment.... There are some books out
there which contain information that you won't find anywhere in the
Oracle documentation....

e.g.

Cary Milsap's "Optimizing Oracle Performance"
Steve Adams' "Oracle 8i Internal Services for Waits...."
Jonathan Lewis' "CBO Fundamentals",
Dan Tow's "SQL Tuning", etc, etc

But then the question is, are those extra info something the Oracle
professional SHOULD know to do job competently, in general?
