  Reader Reviews
  By far one of my favorite books on RAC internals. I especially like the section on Cache Fusion and how locking works with Oracle 10g RAC and OPS. My only request is that it covered more details on command line utilities but other books cover that so not that big of a deal. It really is the guru internals guide to RAC for consultants! I have the other book by Gopal on Oracle 10g Wait tuning and that is a great tech reference as well.
