Looking for SQL for DBAs Book

I am a DBA who has rudimentary knowledge of SQL. I would like to know if there is a book like 'SQL for DBAs'. Last week, i had a requirement to find all tables without PKs in a schema. I could find it only after searching oracle forums. Now, i think, i should at least be an intermediate user of SQL before being an DBA. Hence, looking for a book to enhance my SQL skills.

In order to enhance your skills, I can recommend you to bring regular visits to this forum (as you already do) and the Database-General forum, where lots of DBA's hang out.
Other useful sites: http://asktom.oracle.com
Also I recommend all books written by Tom Kyte.
Oracle documentation is online:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
http://tahiti.oracle.com
Read the concepts guide and the database administration guides

  • Looking for good book on using DSLR for shooting video

    I recently purchased a new Canon t3i DSLR. I've been watching videos on YouTube and it seems like this camera is capable of taking great HD video. My test videos look nothing like these examples. I am looking for a good resource that will teach me what settings to use, especially manual settings for shooting videos. Of course it would be great to find something specific to my camera, but I'm sure that the techniques will apply to most DSLRs.
    Thanks

    This website is very useful

  • Looking for a book that would teach me Java from the ground

    Hi! I'm a high school student looking to learn a lot about Java Programming. I'm taking Computer Science III right now and I took Computer Science I last school year (My school don't offer Computer Science II). However, my Comp. Sci. I teacher was really bad and barely taught us, this resulted in a lot of people failing that class. So, I barely know anything about Java Programming and I'm slowly starting to understand it a bit by bit in Comp. Sci. III class. I thought it would be helpful if I purchased a book about Java and study on my own at home in addition to learning at school. Does anyone know a good book that teachers the basics of Java and beyond? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

    "Head First in Java" book I've heard is highly recommended. I wouldn't suggest certification books since in my opinion they are for developers who have taken several programming classes and are preparing to pad their resumes with certifications for jobs
    . You can go to the bookstore to see if its the book you want, then order it on-line a lot cheaper (www.amazon.com). After reading it, you have it on your bookshelf for reference (the index helps a lot to re-locate information). After you compile and run a few programs from the DOS command line, I would suggest downloading Eclipse Europa (search google for it). Its a free development environment many professional developers use. You'll have to install JDK first (its free, search google for it).
    If you want to eventually develop web applications, here are the books I would recommend (I dont expect you to read them until you're in college, but it gives you some idea):
    HTML
    JSP
    Servlets
    JDBC
    SQL
    Javascript

  • Looking for a book

    Does anyone know of a book that exists that shows you how to create jsp applications for the web? Like specific step-by-step instructions?
    I found JRun Web Application Construction Kit, but i'm wondering if there are any others that are preferably free.
    If you don't know of any free ones that I can download, maybe just suggestions on good material.
    I need to make a backend admin tool for a website. Where I can upload products, change layouts/look, text, news allt hat jazz. And a guide book would be very handy for this.
    thanks.

    Hey.
    Try "Java for the Web with Servlets, JSP, and EJB: A Developer's Guide to J2EE Solutions"
    Good Book.
    Here is amazon link

  • Looking for Aperture Book Recomendations for partial Noob

    Looking at Amazon there are 3 books on the app. Each one brings something to the table. I have experience with Photoshop Elements and Iphoto. I do not think I am interested in the tutorial lessons available through "Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 3." Any suggestions are appreciated. I have been looking at the online help and the various videos available on Apple and YT and find those helpful.
    Thanks
    Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 3 [Paperback]
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Aperture-3/dp/0321647440/ref=cmcr_pr_producttop
    Apple Aperture 3: A Workflow Guide for Digital Photographers [Paperback]
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Aperture-Workflow-Digital-Photographers/dp/024052178 1/ref=cmcr_pr_producttop
    Aperture 3: Portable Genius [Paperback]
    http://www.amazon.com/Aperture-Portable-Genius-Josh-Anon/dp/047038672X/ref=cmcr_pr_producttop

    If you are not into the APTS tutorial type book, then I would probably recommend using the Portable Genius book combined with both the User Manual and Apple's online tutorials.
    The Portable Genius is a good desktop reference book with quick to the point outlines of what a specific feature does and how to use it on a basic level (with some tips thrown in). IMO, an inexpensive and efficient way to go.

  • CFFORM format flash - Looking for a book

    I am thinking about building a CF Flash based site. I have
    been testing and reading posts on the net. Seems that a production
    grade site will require ActionScript, lots of it.
    Should I be looking at ActionScript books or CF books?

    You can try to learn from here (and watch out for the famous
    32K problem):
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/
    http://www.asfusion.com/examples/
    Just a little advice and maybe you already know that the
    accessing speed of the flash form is pretty slow. If your users do
    not have fast internet connection, maybe you should change your
    mind in using cf flash. If you have an external site, maybe you can
    try to build a module in cf flash, ftp the module to your external
    site and test the accessing speed. If the speed is ok with you, you
    can continue on what you're doing.
    I have been doing many cf flash based sites for my internal
    applications only. But for my external (internet) sites, I would
    still prefer using cf html form. Because my audiences do not really
    have fast internet connection.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

  • Looking for Address Book Cleaning Programm?

    Hallo
    I have export (txt tab format) a large Database (2400 records) from our PABX-System (Habimat). The Field are very dynamic. Now I want to clean this file an make for every records correct fields to that I am later able to import them in the Address Book.
    Is their such a Program to generate "own" fields for each record, e.g. Spouse-Name, Spouse-GSM, Spouse-Birthday, Secretary, Child etc. I sorted out that the iphone is able to handle all these different field names, but it very frustrating to edit 2400 record within the Address Book or on the iPhone.
    I tried to edit them in Excel but I need to prepare field that will be import in the Adress Book.
    Is their a tool availible on Mac (or Windows) that helps me to edit all this records to the correct fields?
    Regards
    Gérard

    I'm in the same boat, Tor...
    ...The Apple Address Book is the most awkward of all the contact management programs I've used. I too have trouble with duplicates. One source is when I merged two data bases. One had middle initials and the other didn't. I've been pecking away at deleting them one by one and with over 5,000 contacts it'll take me all year. Please keep me informed if you get a descent response to your posting. Good luck and know you aren't alone if that's any consolation.

  • Looking for photo book with 'pocket'

    Hi: I'm making a baby book, and want to include items like the footprints and possibly birth certificate. I don't want to just scan them. Does iPhoto have a book that has a 'pocket' or 'sleeve' option so that other documents can be inserted? If not ... does anyone? Thanks!

    no
    See Liz Castro's web site - http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/ - for an overview of the available iPhoto themes

  • Looking for iPhoto book template for Aperture

    I created a photobook in iPhoto and now need to add a few things that iPhoto wont permit ie images in places that are not on the templates. Therefore, I am trying Aperture since it allows me to modify templates. So, I now need to recreate a template in Aperture that is the same as the one I used in iPhoto. To speed everything up, I am looking to see if I can install the templates from iPhoto. If so, that would save me lots of work. Actually, if I could only import the photobook from iPhoto, that would be even better!
    So, does anyone know where I can get the templates/themes that are in iPhoto and how do I install them in Aperture?

    That is not a possibility - but you can do a page layout in Aperture (or any other program) and print it to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to send an option of it to iPhoto and then add it to the iPhoto book as a full page photo
