I was thinking more of when you're on a plane or behind a firewall or something... :)

Cary Millsap has a great book on Tuning Oracle, but there are other schools of thoughts and methods out there. Here are my thoughts on his book:

I would recommend reading Oracle's Performance Guide before reading anything. I would also review Anjo Kolk's YAPP, and his web site (http://www.OraPerf.com).

Of course, there's more to Oracle than Performance and Tuning ...

Robin,
You're right. In general, the manuals may not be the only place to learn about something. There are many other fine resources (books, websites, blogs ...) you can tap into whenever you are, not only optimizing Oracle, but also working on any type of problem in your daily life. I won't even begin listing the resources. However, the manuals should be the place to start with.

While I agree the oracle documentation is a great place to start. Once you are deploying code and tuning you really can't go past "Optimizing Oracle Performance" by Cary Millsap

I cannot imagine the world without Internet, at least my world. But, you'll never know when "eDoomsDay" will come (maybe on my next vacation!). Thanks Robert.

And burn your favourites onto a CD. Never know when Internet access won't be possible and/or convenient.
