Oracle & Open Source is the first book to tie together the commercial world of Oracle and the free-wheeling world of open source software. As this book reveals, these two worlds are not as far apart as they may seem. Today, there are many excellent and freely available software tools that Oracle developers and database administrators can use, at no cost, to improve their own coding productivity and their system's performance. Moreover, many of the finest Oracle developers are now making their source code freely available so their peers can build upon this code base. Oracle Corporation is even porting its RDBMS to Linux and starting to incorporate a growing number of open source tools in the company's own software.Oracle & Open Source describes close to 100 open source tools you can use for Oracle development and database administration, from large and widely known open source systems (like Linux, Perl, Apache, TCL/Tk and Python) to more Oracle-specific tools (like Orasoft, Orac, OracleTool, and OraSnap). You'll learn how to obtain the software and how to adapt it to best advantage. The book abounds with code examples, download and installation instructions, and helpful usage hints.
Not only does it tell you how to find and use existing open source code; Oracle & Open Source gives you the details and the motivation to build your own open source contributions and release them to the Oracle community. You'll learn all about tools like the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) and Perl-DBI (Database Interface), which provide the glue allowing new open source tools to link into commercial Oracle software. With Oracle & Open Source as a guide, you'll discover an enormous number of highly effective open source tools, while getting involved with the thriving community of open source development.
Andy Duncan is an inveterate software dabbler who lives in Oxfordshire, England. He is the author of the Orac open source tool for Oracle database administration and tuning. He started work at Oracle Corporation in 1998 as an Oracle DBA contractor at their EMEA Data Centre in the UK and remained there as a DBA through the January 2000 hurdle. Since then he has been working for Sun as a Java consultant, moving away from database administration into fulltime code development. Sean Hull is the author of Karma, a Perlbased Oracle database monitoring system he built after years of enjoying the benefits of the open source community and the OracleL email list. He resides in New York City, plying his Internet and Oracle knowledge through iHeavy Inc., his consulting services firm.
