When is a 2K page > 2048 bytes? - Come on guys.... ",Each chapter has passed through the hands of at least five experienced database administrators.", [in Preface]and I only have to get to page 12 to find none of you can explain the true page sizes for 2K APL & DOL pages......Could the remaining chapters pass through your hands again after the editors had their chance? Please don t be like the so called Oracle book writers - you are better than that. Sure it is rather picky, but can I trust the rest of the information?
