While sitting down with some colleagues we noted how we all have tons of oracle books that collect dust. We were all excited when we first ordered the books, they were going to solve all of our Oracle issues. But after getting the recieving the books we were sadly disappointed. On the other hand, we all also have books that are dog-eared and falling apart because they are constantantly being used and passed around. I met with and emailed a group of around 15DBA's and we have come up with a catagorized list of the books we actually use. We hope this list helps you find more dog-ears and less dust.
