        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem

UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


(40)  last sentence;
"Table 3-1" in the last sentence should be "Table 2-1".


{123}  2ND PARAGRAPH;
"LARGE POOL" SHOULD BE STATED AS "LARGE_POOL_SIZE"


(253)  after the 2nd paragraph;
replace "QUERY donna a.smd instead"
with "QUERY donna a.smd"


{255}  1st sententece of section "Verifying that the database is open";
The 1st sentence of "Verifying that the database is open" states:

"Log on to the server and connect  w i t h o u t   u s i n g   N e t 8 in order to
verify that the database instance is running..."

Up to my knowledge, Net8 or SQL*Net is always involved when requesting a connection,
even if the connection is local, f.i. initiated with "connect internal".


{292}  2nd Paragraph;
NAMESCTL.NOCONFIRM option in the sqlnet.ora profile file when set to ON, enables to
execute commands like stop & reload without being prompted for user confirmation .
The book explains this to be tbe opposite. This needs to be corrected.
