Q: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I am very impressed with this book. You have to read it a little at a time, stopping to put the suggestions into practice as you go along. Why? Because Jack's book causes a paradigm shift in your thinking. You'll never see the game the same again--your ability to analyze not only your own game, but that of your pard and pones, will increase exponentially. Not only is this a great book, but John (Jack) Strichman is a very personable and approachable person, who will go the extra mile for you. I feel as though I am fortunate enough to have two great pards--"The Lady in Red" I am ever honored to have across the table from me, and Jack sitting beside me whispering winning secrets in my ear. Answer:
A: Yes

Q: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: The author didn't do her homework. Ten minutes of Google yields more fruit that this tome. Her appraisal of "The Ghost Writer" pilot is particuarly obtuse, as the version she saw was obviously heavily edited unlike the ones currently on view on You Tube. A shabby excuse for a book, devoted to subject matter that deserves better. Understandably, this is now out of print. How it was published in the first place is mystifying. Answer:
A: No

Q: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: This was the worst machine ever and leaked from the first time it was used. I used to own $20 steam espresso maker and it worked better than this one. In fact I owned the cheap one for 3+ years and gave it away before it wore out. Don't waste the time setting it up and cleaning it up to take it back. Answer:
A: No

Q: Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: This book by no means replaces the (online) documentation that oracle provides, or a more complete RMAN book.But it shines when you want the syntax without carrying around a boat anchor of a book.You need a working knowlege of RMAN for this book to be useful. If you purchase this to learn RMAN, you will be disappointed. If you know, or are learning to use RMAN, it is helpful.I like it because I can pop it in my back (or shirt) pocket.Half of the book is dedicated to syntax. The first half is a brief overview of the RMAN world.It is a 'Must Have' for anyone using RMAN. But you will need other documentation in addition. I have found the Oracle supplied documentation (on CD) very good. But it is not 'portable'. Answer:
