Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-23 00:00:00 Solaiman Sowwan Hands-down, the BEST book about how Oracle's complex optimiser works. The title says "volume 1" and I met Lewis at Oracle OpenWorld a few years back and he confirmed my suspicions that writing this book was so hard, he was too exhausted to write a sequel. It is difficult but an excellent source of information. When you realize that Oracle has as many patents and programmers for their optimiser as Microsoft has for their Windows operating system, you get an idea of the titanic work it required to write this extraordinary book!

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-27 00:00:00 Richard Eidson Nobody (including those who programmed it themselves) understands the Oracle CBO better than Jonathan Lewis. If you want to make sense out of how and why Oracle chooses to execute queries in the way that it does, read this book. It is dense, complicated material but Lewis nevertheless does his utmost to make it both clear and comprehensive.
