Too simple

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2002

This is a good book to give you a basic introduction to Oracle if you are new to it. The questions, although they test your understanding, are way too simple compared to the exam.
I would recommend it as a basic reading supplemented by other texts.

Simply not enough

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2001

It is a good review material for you to know some of the important features of oracle in a short period of time.
However, it is no the book for you to pass the exam.

Good overview, but don't rely on it

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2001

As overview, it is usefull. Compared with the exams, I found it covers about 70% of the material and has quite a few typo's and errors. The network part is CD only (bad). I suggest the Oracle DBA Certification Kit or the Exam Cram Books ... and a bit of practice.

Certified DBA

This book helped me certify.

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2002

I have passed all five exams for Oracle 8i OCP certification in Database Administration. My only study resources were this Exam Guide, Couchman's Practice Exams text and Oracle's own documentation (which is now available via the internet). I feel I learned a tremendous amount from this book, not only helping me pass the exams, but enhancing my career skills as well.
I found this book was extremely useful, especially the PL/SQL, Admin and Architecture, and Backup/Recovery sections. For the Tuning and Networking exams I relied more on the Oracle documentation. This book gives an excellent overview of what is covered on the exams and Oracle's documentation helps fill in the gaps. I recommend this book to DBA's with some experience who wish to become certified.

Good book spoilt by lots of errors and contradictions

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2001

Been an Oracle DBA for about 7 years. This book has many basic errors and contradictions as did the version 7 guide. Its a real shame as it will mislead and confuse people who will then probably fail their exams. Emailed Couchman both times but with no reply until recently when anyone who has every emailed him got an email which started a spam war due to his inability to use BCC. Not worth the money. Amazed Oracle would put their name to this - they should at least get the books checked.

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2002

I passed the 5th and final test today (Networking) for my OCP certification, and I used this book as my main resource. I also used Exam Cram books for PL/SQL, Backup & Recovery, and Networking (a must!). I also used Couchman's OCP DBA Practice Exams book (contains 15 exams), and practice exams from the folks at Self Test Software (there's one for each test, containing approx 300 questions per). I studied like a demon and then used the practice exams to show me where I needed to go back and review. I passed each test on the first attempt. My background is client/server programming using PowerBuilder, with an Oracle database as the backend. My DBA experience is minimal; my PL/SQL experience is intermediate.

Misleading and confusing

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2001

This book contains a lot of mistakes. Many incorrect examples and information are wrong too! If you are a beginner, you will be misled by it. I will not recommend you to study this book if you would like to pass the OCP exam.
