5.0 out of 5 stars The book and material are great !!, October 12, 2005

By	Snake "Snake" (Mexico City) - See all my reviews

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.

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

By	jensen (indonesia) - See all my reviews

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 11, 2005

A Kid's Review

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.
