Expert Oracle Database Architecture - Techniques and Solutions for High Performance and Productivity, 4th Edition, by Kuhn, Darl and Kyte, Thomas
Now in its fourth edition and covering Oracle Database 21c, this best-selling book continues to bring you some of the best thinking on how to apply Oracle Database to produce scalable applications that perform well and deliver correct results. Tom Kyte and Darl Kuhn share a simple philosophy: “you can treat Oracle as a black box and just stick data into it, or you can understand how it works and exploit it as a powerful computing environment.” If you choose the latter, then you’ll find that there are few information management problems that you cannot solve quickly and elegantly.
This fully revised fourth edition covers the developments and new features up to Oracle Database 21c. Up-to-date features are covered for tables, indexes, data types, sequences, partitioning, data loading, temporary tables, and more. All the examples are demonstrated using modern techniques and are executed in container and pluggable databases. The book’s proof-by-example approach encourages you to let evidence be your guide. Try something. See the result. Understand why the result is what it is. Apply your newfound knowledge with confidence. The book covers features by explaining how each one works, how to implement software using it, and the common pitfalls associated with it.
Don’t treat Oracle Database as a black box. Get this book. Dive deeply into Oracle Database’s most powerful features that many do not invest the time to learn about. Set yourself apart from your competition and turbo-charge your career.

About the Authors
Darl Kuhn is a DBA/developer working for Oracle. He also teaches Oracle classes at the University of Denver in Colorado, and is an active member of the Rocky Mountain Oracle Users Group. Darl enjoys sharing knowledge, which has led to several book projects over the years.
Thomas Kyte has been working for Oracle (the company) since version 7.0.9 (1993) and working with Oracle (software) since version 5.1.5c (the $99 single-user version for DOS on 360KB floppy disks). Before working at Oracle, he worked for more than six years as a systems integrator, building large-scale, heterogeneous databases and applications, mostly for military and government customers. These days, he spends a great deal of his time working with the Oracle database and, more specifically, helping people who are using the Oracle database. He works directly with customers, either in specifying and building their systems or, more frequently, helping them rebuild or tune them. In addition, he authors the “Ask Tom” column in Oracle Magazine, where he answers questions about the Oracle database and tools. On a typical day, he receives and answers dozens of questions at asktom.oracle.com. Every two months, he publishes a “best of” in the magazine (all of the questions asked are available on the Web, stored in an Oracle database). Additionally, he gives technical seminars covering much of the material in this book. He spends a lot of his time helping people be successful with the Oracle database. In his spare time, he builds applications and develops software within Oracle Corporation. This book is a reflection of what he does every day, covering topics and questions that people struggle with every day. The issues are covered from the perspective of “When I use this, I do it this way.” It is the culmination of many years of experience using the product in myriad situations.
