Mark Rittman has listed some books about Larry Ellison and Oracle. He forgot my favorite. Actually, it’s the only book i’ve ever read which is about Larry Ellison. Actually, it’s not about Larry, but he is part of the story: The Proving Ground: The Inside Story of the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Race. It’s a nice read, but it won’t tell you anything about databases :-( Now can anyone recommend me a thriller which includes steve jobs or bill gates?
