Rob, I wasn't considering the book,
I was thinking of the stuff that he puts into Oracle Magazine, and still seems to be delivering at User Group meetings. I noticed an article of his at the NYOUG website when Rachel gave the URL for her "Do's and Don'ts" . It's dated June 2002, and has a title of "Fasten Your Seatbelts: High Speed Tour of Oracle 9i Tuning". Read it - you won't be impressed. It's not the sort of stuff that "One of the Top Six in the World" should want to admit to.
