Well, i really don't like to confirm Noons prediction, but since i
started this thread, i thought, maybe i should write as well, what was
my motivation on it.
Generally spoken, i don't think, cookbooks are evil, at least in my
expirience, i use them too often. Presumed, you can rely on this
particular cookbook. Of course, everybody writes a kind of himself for
routined tasks - but sorry, i can't compel myself to do it in every
occasion. Lastly i have (unexpected for me) to setup a dozens of redhat
boxes with different Oracle versions - so i increased a visitor counter
by Tim Hall about dozen for that task. Doing so, i had in the past
compared his setup with Oracle documentation, with Werner Puschitz site,
with Ivan Kartik site, reproduced his setup and finally found this
cookbook for an reliable. On the other side, i found some cookbooks on
dba-oracle.com which are simply not working. But this is not a major
point - maybe another one work good, i don't aim to test all recipes
from that site. The most disturbing thing from my point of view is the
mentioned by Joel - the google ranking, it takes me a bit of freedom in
my choice. That means, if i google for an oracle related term - i get in
many cases first page with references to dba-oracle site. I don't like
this ranking. I like even distribution. After about fifteen years public
accessible internet, there are a lot established informational resources
for oracle related terms - tahiti, asktom, co-operative faq, dizwell,
orafaq and many others which cover probably most of oracle related
questions. It would be nice to see them in the top results doing the
fuzzy search (there is seldom an issue, if one is doing a very precise
search). Unfortunately it is not the way how Google works.
But who can stop me to try to change it?

Best regards

Maxim

Seems interesting enough so far :-)

(You have noticed who published Tim's book, right?)

Nothing wrong with trying to change the world. The lack of
transparency and accountability can make the payoff from any
particular effort unknowable.
