I bought his book some time back, but never took the time to read it. A situation arose recently that I couldn't resolve with the usual manuals so I dragged out Joe's book. Not only did it clarify my problem. but it was actually FUN to read. His insights into user's expectations and mental processes brought many smiles and nods as I continued reading even after I had resolved my situation. IMHO this book is a MUST for everyone who gets stuck being the DBA. Disclaimer: I didn't make any money for saying the above. ---dave--- J.
