Designed for developers, not just DBAs ...

I noticed someone bought it for Oracle installation, and then gave it 1 star because _he_ failed to read the front cover. This book is not an installation guide to a single database. Oracle has some excellent documentation that covers the installation of its products.This is an "all-in-one book" for sysadmins, DBAs _and_ developers who wish to deplay MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle 8i. As such, not only does it cover installation, but SQL, various front-ends like ODBC and JDBC as well as securing databases on Linux. It's not going to go into vendor-specific development tools and administration, but general SQL administration, and Linux-centric capabilities.If you want a book on Oracle on Linux, go buy an Oracle manual. If you want a general, "all-in-one book" for databases on Linux, from DBA to development, this is a fairly good one.
