I would recommend reading Oracle’s Performance Guide before reading anything. I would also review Anjo Kolk’s YAPP, and his web site (http://www.OraPerf.com).

Of course, there’s more to Oracle than Performance and Tuning …

In general, the manuals may not be the only place to learn about something. There are many other fine resources (books, websites, blogs ...) you can tap into whenever you are, not only optimizing Oracle, but also working on any type of problem in your daily life. I won't even begin listing the resources. However, the manuals should be the place to start with. Robin,
