Expert Oracle Database Architecture: Techniques and Solutions for High Performance and Productivity
暫譯: 專家級 Oracle 資料庫架構：高效能與生產力的技術與解決方案

Now in its fourth edition and covering Oracle Database 21c, this best-selling book continues to bring you some of the best thinking on how to apply Oracle Database to produce scalable applications that perform well and deliver correct results. Tom Kyte and Darl Kuhn share a simple philosophy: you can treat Oracle as a black box and just stick data into it, or you can understand how it works and exploit it as a powerful computing environment. If you choose the latter, then you'll find that there are few information management problems that you cannot solve quickly and elegantly.
This fully revised fourth edition covers the developments and new features up to Oracle Database 21c. Up-to-date features are covered for tables, indexes, data types, sequences, partitioning, data loading, temporary tables, and more. All the examples are demonstrated using modern techniques and are executed in container and pluggable databases. The book's proof-by-example approach encourages you to let evidence be your guide. Try something. See the result. Understand why the result is what it is. Apply your newfound knowledge with confidence. The book covers features by explaining how each one works, how to implement software using it, and the common pitfalls associated with it.
