Oracle Database Administration for Microsoft SQL Server DBAs

Written by an Oracle ACE, this Oracle Press guide helps experienced Microsoft SQL Server database administrators (DBAs) work seamlessly with the Oracle Database in a mixed-database environment.
Oracle Database Administration for Microsoft SQL Server DBAs takes the administration topics with which the SQL Server DBA is familiar, translates them into Oracle terms, and then expands on Oracle functionality. Definitions and comparative terms run throughout the book so the SQL Server DBA can easily leverage existing knowledge. This Oracle Press guide also expands on some of the features in Oracle that do not match up directly with SQL Server, and looks at other processes often performed on an Oracle database that would not typically be a standard practice in SQL Server environments.
This is not designed to be an Oracle is better than SQL Server book or vice versa. With step-by-step examples throughout as well as code listings, this unique resource takes a practical, day-to-day approach to job functionality as opposed to attempting a feature-by-feature comparison of Oracle versus SQL Server.
