Title: book by Apress - Expert One-On-One Oracle Security
Post by Pete Finnigan on Sep 7^th, 2005, 6:23pm

Hi All,

I was searching amazon as I do periodicaly to see if there are any new books that might talk about Oracle security and I saw this one [url http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861008945/qid=1126107672/sr=1-8/ref=sr_1_2_8/026-0345545-6758817#product-details]Expert One-On-One Oracle Security[/url] - it seems that its not available on Amazon and a quick search on the net has not found it. There is publisher information - Apress and ISBN: 1861008945 and that it was published July 2003 - but no author details or any descriptions.

Does anyone know if the book exists and if so has anyone seen it, got any details etc??

cheers

Pete

I believe APRESS bought the 'Expert One-on-One' titles from WROX.
It may be that they didn't re-release this one under their own imprint (and maybe that Wrox didn't actually publish it before they sold it).

Pete,

I have read "Effective Oracle Database 10g Security by Design" by David Knox. It is a good book that brings together lot's of Oracle docs.

The examples seem good. I have tested a few of them and they work as advertised. I am planning on testinng some of the others as my company moves toward SSO and single authentication.

Thanks for your comments Ron, I have read most of Davids book, yes it is a fine book. It comes from a different angle than I would do for the same book. I have talked to David about this in the past as well. I would cover from an auditing and securing and exploit angle. David is firmly in the features and functions mode. This is still a good book though.

cheers

Pete
