Great overview of distributed Oracle

I found this book to be very useful for understanding the concepts of database links and SQL*Net for Oracle databases. The general overview was also quite good.

Short chapters offer the necessary information.

I think this book is more suitable for people working with databases -distributed or not- than for students. It is useful for distributed databases managers to have a guide and source of new ideas, and for non distributed databases managers to start to think about the way they could apply this to their own organization. Short chapters offer the necessary information; for a deeper analysis of the subject another book should be used.
