Well, its my turn to do a shameless marketing for our upcoming '
Oracle 11g R1/R2 Real Application Clusters' handbook. This book will be hitting the market some time in April 2010 and you can get more details on this book
here.
Almost a year back an idea about writing a book on RAC came up in my mind and started looking for fellow co-authors plus a publishing house for our book and finally ended up writing this book for
Packt Publication along with other co-authors,
Ben Prusinski and
Guenadi Jilevski.
One thing I must agree that writing a book requires a lot of research, patience, time and knowledge and if you are working whilst writing the book, is like a uphill task to balance the work and coping up with the chapters schedule time.Working in one of the largest RAC setup organization here in Saudi Arabia helped me tremendously to achieve this feet.
We tried to give our level best to cover most of the useful topics for the DBA who wants to administrate and maintain a complex RAC environment. Since Oracle 11gR2 is released, we had to modify a lot of contents to cover most of the useful 11gR2 features in the book.
I will keep you update on my blog about my book and will let you know the Contents of the book as well.
Happy reading,
Jaffar
