Oracle

"Perl is a powerful tool for Oracle database administrators, but too few DBAs realize how helpful Perl can be in managing, monitoring, and tuning Oracle databases. Whether you're responsible for Oracle9i, Oracle8i, or earlier databases, you'll find Perl an invaluable addition to your database administration arsenal. You don't need to be a Perl expert to use the applications and scripts described in ""Perl for Oracle DBAs"". The book explains what you need to know about Perl, provides ready-to-use scripts developed especially for Oracle DBAs, and suggests many resources for further exploration. The book covers: The Perl language; the Perl/Oracle architecture; the Oracle call interface (OCI); Perl applications for Oracle DBAs; the Perl Database Administration (PDBA) Toolkit; monitoring the Oracle alert log and databases; creating and managing Oracle user accounts; maintaining indexes and extents; extracting DDL and data; and troubleshooting and tuning database problems, and much more. The book also explains how Oracle DBAs and developers can extend the toolkit and solve their own database ad ministration problems using Perl."

Andy Duncan is a psychology graduate and inveterate software dabbler who lives in Oxfordshire, England. He was the initial author of the Orac open source tool for Oracle database administration, development, and tuning. After a spell with Sun Microsystems in the late 1990s, working on Java-based software delivery systems, Andy began a period with Oracle Corporation in 1998 as an Oracle DBA contractor, at their central EMEA Data Centre in the U.K. He remained there as a senior DBA through the January 2000 hurdle; he then returned to Sun as a Perl and Java web consultant, moving away from database administration and back into full-time software development. He now combines various Internet projects for different clients with leading commercial Perl training courses for Learning Tree. He can be reached at andy_j_duncan@yahoo.com.
