If you have some time on your hands and want to line-by-line debug/modify/enhance a set of scripts that were originally written for Oracle 7, then buy this book. Otherwise, take a pass.Three years after it was published, there still is a need for Oracle Scripts: not because of any inherent excellence, but because the tools Oracle itself provides are somewhat obtuse. Be aware that the scripts reside only on the accompanying CD and are buggy. Get updates from the O'Reilly website.As some other reviewers have noted, the scripts are targeted for UNIX DBAs. Conversion to NT platform is not difficult, but you're buying the book to avoid unnecessary coding, aren't you? Lastly, and most annoyingly, there is very little supporting documentation in the text.
