-I am not talking about getting rich. $100/hr is not near rich in my opinion.
-What I am talking about is to get as much money as possible for one's work.
-Now, I do not know how many copies of your book DBA 101 were sold
until the cows come home!

I am not saying that there was nothing useful for me in this book. I read it
from beginning to the end and enjoyed. Simply that I knew most of what was
written. But again I would be very glad if I had such book when I began
study Oracle.
Peace, ok.

I would one of self-publishing houses like Technion where you can get 33% of
sales.
If your book is any good it will sell in the same volume as with any other
publisher (not that they spend a lot of money for promotion any way).

If you do not know Oracle you will get from technical editor. If you cannot
