Hi Tom,
I am always great fan of yours deep knowledge and ability to look into problems in a diffrent ways. I am sure there are many people like me who are your followers. Can we expect more books in year 2014 and 2015 ?

I never got a chance to read Tom Kyte's books. I read some other books on RAC,Data Guard,RMAN and Performance tuning. They are all bad. I am no more doing dba work. What a life!

for some people it is "the life". For other people who don't like it - it isn't the life.
sounds like for you - you don't like DBA work. Not a problem, not the fault of books, just your personal preference.

I think long form books are (sadly) not the way forward any more due to the rapid change in the technology.
Example - lets say I wrote a book about 19c and published it when 19c came out (19.3). Lets look at what happens once the book is published
19.7 => sql macros. The book would be missing that. A critical omission
19.8 => in-memory base level. The book would probably be saying "you MUST have a license for in-memory which is now 100% wrong"
19.9 => new crypto features. No mention in the book
19.10 => DBMS_CLOUD for on-premises. Huge package, Blockchain tables - massive
19.11 => immutable tables
19.12 => gradual password rollover.
Things move so fast nowadays and books ultimately become a mix of good advice and bad advice.
Tom's book for example goes into great detail about using Java as a good mail API. That would be madness today - you'd simply go with APEX_MAIL.
