5.0 out of 5 stars Very complete coverage, April 29, 2005

By	goldlion11 (Bowie, MD) - See all my reviews

I just passed my Oracle 1Z0-043 test after using this book as my sole study source, in addition to an Oracle installation I set up at home. The book does a great job of covering all the material I encountered on the test.

4.0 out of 5 stars better than admin I (OCA) book, February 5, 2007

By	jensen (indonesia) - See all my reviews

i have passed my ocp 10g exam last month, thanks to this book and bersinic & watson book (ocp all in one exam guide). i have to say overall this book is better than the admin I book also by sybex. the thing i like about this book is it covers more than the exam needs, e.g. how to create the rman recovery catalog, which is not found in other ocp preparation materials (including oracle's student guide for admin II training). i also find the flashcards helpful (also available in sybex oca), and the two bonus exams. but just be very careful when assessing the answers to all the questions, there is a few misleading answers i found, although it is very rare. the best way to find the right answer is to test the question on a practice database, or find the exact answer from Oracle's documentation. i would still say it is a good and pretty complete reference for your OCP 10g exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars Proof-reading needed, September 15, 2006

By	Victor Lee (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This book apparently underwent no proof-reading. Careless and obvious mistakes abound. The publisher's errata page is of little use although the book has been published for nearly two years. Considering that this is a book you rely on to pass an exam, this is close to irresponsible.

I've only read half of the book, I hope the remaining is better.
