1.0 out of 5 stars Never Judge A Book By Its Cover!, October 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Oracle DBA Training Course, The (Paperback)
Nice big bright box that gave the impression I was getting a thorough guide for my DBA exams. $150.00 CDN later, I find this package to be a total waste of money! 1 poorly written book full of spelling errors with 2 cheap CD's is all this package contains. 1 CD does not even install properly! PASS ON THIS ONE!

1.0 out of 5 stars DOES NOT COVER TEST 5, ORACLE8 NETWORK ADMINISTRATION., September 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Oracle DBA Training Course, The (Paperback)
Very flimsy, lightweight treatment that is NOT geared toward passing the Oracle DBA Certification exams. DOES NOT COVER TEST 5, ORACLE8 NETWORK ADMINISTRATION. CD course is a toy. If you are looking for a good study guide to pass the DBA certification exams, keep looking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Away From This Book At All Costs!, November 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Oracle DBA Training Course, The (Paperback)
The book and the CD's with it are a waste of money! I received two of these books (one I ordered and an extra one sent to me). I sent the other one back but so far I haven't received a pre-paid mailing label to send the other back. I guess they don't even want it! I'd give it zero stars, if the rating would allow me.
