More About the Author

Bob Bryla was born in the late 50's near Chicago, Illinois: a long time before the Internet was even a gleam in Vinton Cerf's eyes. As a freshman in high school, Bob got on the computer revolution bandwagon, writing BASIC programs and various assembler programs for a DEC minicomputer. And the rest, they say, is history.

Bob has over 25 years in the database business, including database design, Oracle Database administration, and technical writing. His books run the gamut from introductory texts to advanced Oracle DBA guides to certification titles.

He has been working at Lands' End in Dodgeville, Wisconsin as a database analyst, Oracle DBA, and PL/SQL developer since 2000. To relieve the stress caused by extreme technology, Bob listens to heavy metal and other alternative rock, frequently attending local concert festivals. He is less well known at the concert festivals than he is at the local Oracle user group meetings.

4.0 out of 5 stars almost complete for oca+ocp, February 5, 2007

jensen (indonesia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: OCP: Oracle 10g Certification Kit (1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043) (Paperback)

i have got my oca last year and my ocp just last month, utilizing these two books and the ocp 10g all-in-one exam guide from john & damir. these two books have a quite complete coverage of the materials in oca and ocp 10g exams, which means it sometimes covers more than needed to pass the exam. in one way it is good for our knowledge, but it sometimes could be frustating because of the long chapters (need two books to pass ocp instead of one book with john/damir book). i would suggest however to still get the john/damir book in addition to this one to pass the oca/ocp exam (like i did), for the sake of completeness and chapter organizations. these two books have rather unique chapter structures (not aligned with oracle admin I and admin II training materials), for instance there are three chapters in the admin II training that combined into one chapter of the second book. overall it is still a good reference not just for 10g oca/ocp exam, but also for your oracle 10g knowledge in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Worthwhile, October 10, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: OCP: Oracle 10g Certification Kit (1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043) (Paperback)

I read these 2 books in their entirety... they are excellent. Explanations are clear and well-written. I found VERY few errors (only one or two typos that do not in any compromise the material), which is way above the norm for certification books.

I see keeping these books on my shelf for quick reference going forward.

This review is from: OCP: Oracle 10g Certification Kit (1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043) (Paperback)

There are a lot of Oracle`s books , but if you need a material to get the OCP , this is the way. Try to study it by yourself during 2 months. It has a lot of examples and exercises, practical scenarios and a lot of tips from DBAs experts.

Very useful.
