Too often the best consultants are too busy fielding insane customer requests with equally insane timelines, which would bring 99 percent of other consultants to their knees, and making them a reality. They do this by working late into the night, testing, testing, testing, and finding creative ways to ultimately satisfy their customers. They don’t have the bandwidth to stop in the middle of all this and post responses to forums, turn what they learned into helpful blog posts, and definitely not to create comprehensive books. But in that elite 1 percent there are some that still rise above the rest and somehow find the time to contribute to the greater community. This is the first book on Oracle GoldenGate to walk the reader through tuning the capture and apply (extract and replicate) components that are now integrated into the Oracle database. It’s the first such book to walk you through the new drag-and-drop and wizard-based configuration utility called Oracle GoldenGate Studio. When you consider one of Sachin’s previous books was about Oracle Enterprise Manager, it’s no surprise that he also does an excellent job covering how to monitor Oracle GoldenGate using several methods. Written in plain English, Oracle GoldenGate for DBAs has something for new and seasoned users alike. There are a lot of exciting enhancements we have planned for Oracle GoldenGate and as it evolves over time I’ll be looking forward to the updated versions of this book.
