I am pleased to announce that my new book on Exadata is becoming available on Amazon very soon.
Considering that Exadata was the hot new kid on the Oracle block, I had been contemplating and reaching out to a lot of folks about writing a book on Exadata for over a year, before the stars got aligned and we started working on this project. From inception to writing to technical review to production, authoring a book is a complex, labor-intensive, lengthy, and at times painful process; - this project took more than 2+ years to complete and I along with my co-authors are very proud of the outcome.
You can order the book online at:
