4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for the CD, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle DBA with CDROM (Training Guides (New Riders)) (Hardcover)

I felt this book had the best exams and chapter review questions.

Nonethless I recommend you read all the OCP books out there, and take all the sample exams you can get you hands on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent OCP 'starter'., November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle DBA with CDROM (Training Guides (New Riders)) (Hardcover)

This book gives an excellent summary of the OCP-required knowledge base. I read it, and then read the Coriolis Exam Crams and Oracle Performance Tuning (Gurry, Corrigan). My only (minor) criticisms are the confusing PL/SQL section and the lightweight treatment of Tuning. Overall though, a very worthwhile purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written but out out sync with exam., September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Oracle DBA with CDROM (Training Guides (New Riders)) (Hardcover)

The book is well written and provides the student with good working knowledge of Oracle 7/8. But the materials seem to be slightly out of sync with the exams. Some subject areas are covered in greater detail than necessary for the exam. A few of the exam question topics were not covered in the Training Guide. The book's review questions do not properly prepare the student for the complex type of questions on the exam.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lacking the meat
This book has good organization; yet lacks the delivery of the goods. Touches on the subjects briefly; sometimes confuses the issues completely and shrouds things in more mystery... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Too brief
Though the organization is good, the delivery is not very thorough. I'll pass until Oracle Press comes out with a second edition.
