O’Reilly SQL Tuning, Oracle Essentials 9i, Oracle 10g, Oracle Application Server

Four O’Reilly Oracle books: both editions of Oracle Essentials, the Application Server 10g companion, and Dan Tow’s SQL Tuning.

Oracle Essentials 2nd (9i/8i/8) and 3rd (10g) side by side cover the move from 9i to 10g. Oracle Application Server 10g Essentials covers the middle tier, from two of the same authors. SQL Tuning is the classic book on reading and fixing execution plans; it’s Oracle-focused but also covers DB2 and SQL Server.

Condition
All four are clean and unmarked inside, with tight bindings: no highlighting, no writing, no owner names. Three are Very Good. The lot is listed Good for one reason: Oracle Essentials, 3rd Edition has a small mark near the spine edge of its white front cover (photo 09).

No discs, and none missing
None of these four titles was published with a CD-ROM. Oracle Application Server 10g Essentials says so on its own cover: the software was a free download from the Oracle Technology Network (photo 13).

Shipping
Stretch-wrapped into a single block and boxed, USPS Media Mail, with a printed packing list in the box.
