Title: Outdated, should be rewritten
Review: As oracle has intoduced rman with version 8 as its primary backup tool, I expected the book to dwell mainly on the new tool and explain features, usage and common procedures for backup/recovery with rman in depth. All of this is missing. Barely 60 pages are devoted to rman and half of them is about creating a standby database (which is not what I want right now !). I think this book had it merits in Version 7 and probably it covers all the old stuff very well, but it is nearly useless for version 8. Unfortunately there seems to be no better book on this subject right now.
