About the Author
Thomas Kyte is�vice president of the Core Technologies Group at Oracle Corporation and has been with the company since version 7.0.9 was released in 1993. Kyte, however, has been working with Oracle since version 5.1.5c. At Oracle, Kyte works with the Oracle database, and more specifically, he helps clients who are using the Oracle database and works directly with them specifying and building their systems or rebuilding and tuning them. Prior to working at Oracle, Kyte was a systems integrator who built large-scale, heterogeneous databases and applications for military and government clients.
Tom Kyte is the same "Ask Tom" whose column appears in Oracle Magazine, where he answers questions about the Oracle database and tools that developers and database administrators struggle with every day.

Free Expert Oracle Database Architecture: Oracle Database 9i, 10g, and 11g Programming Techniques and Solutions
I pre-ordered this book in May, having previously read the two previous editions of this book ("Expert One-On-One Oracle" and "Expert Oracle Database Architecture: 9i and 10g Programming Techniques and Solutions") cover to cover. Now that I have had an opportunity to fully read this edition, I now realize that the first edition of this book subconsciously set the standards that I expected of all other Oracle Database books I have subsequently purchased. The latest edition is now among my five favorite Oracle Database books, sharing the top five ranking with "Cost-Based Oracle Fundamentals", "Troubleshooting Oracle Performance", and "Optimizing Oracle Performance".
The author of this book is a Vice President at Oracle Corporation, and is well known for his [...] website, articles in Oracle's magazine, forum/Usenet postings, and presentations. The author recently revised the Oracle Concepts Guide, which is part of the Oracle Database 11.2 documentation library. Slightly off topic: It might be notable that a book written by a VP at Oracle Corporation is not published by Oracle Press. Oracle Press is a marketing label used by McGraw Hill to market its line of Oracle books - the books are not formally written by Oracle Corporation nor are they formally tech edited by Oracle Corporation, although some employees of Oracle Corporation have used McGraw Hill as a publishing company. At least for me, for several years the "Officially Authorized Oracle Press" logo on books published by McGraw Hill seemed to be endorsement of the books by Oracle Corporation, but that is not the case, as was clarified by one of the threads on the AskTom site.
The book contents are very well organized, allowing the reader to continually build on previously introduced concepts.
Tom Kyte is well known in the Oracle community for his Ask Tom website and as author to some great titles on Oracle. So it's no surprise that his latest Architecture book as voluminous and thorough.
Like the first edition Tom spends careful time upfront with a whole long section just on setting up your "environment". Now for those folks who don't use the command line often, you had best dig out your guides, howtos and documentation, and bring yourself up to speed.
The book is laid out with endless examples of how to do things illustrated using sql*plus the Oracle shell. As he reminds us, this is far and away the best way to learn about the inner workings of the database, and his clear and step-by-step examples really drive that home.
As he explains, you'll find that the chapters are mostly self-contained, so you can read them in different order, while still making sense of the whole. Chapter 1 discusses database applications overall, and in particular how to best utilize the Oracle technology and horsepower you've licensed.
Chapter 2 covers the overall architecture of an oracle database outlining how instances are different than a database, and how RAC fits into the picture.
There may be some area you are weaker in, such as memory structures - the PGA, SGA and UGA. So jump straight to chapter 4 for that. Want to know more about locks and latches, chapter 6 will cover that material.
When you get to chapter 10 on tables, you will realize just how much the database has evolved over the years. How many different types of tables are there? There are heap tables, index organized tables, index clustered tables, hash clustered tables, nested tables, temp tables, and object tables. Wow, that's quite a long list.
