3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough details despite large size, January 24, 2010

This review is from: OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide with CD-ROM: Exams 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 (Oracle Press) (Hardcover)

The book does not have enough details. It is ok if you just want to get introduced to features, otherwise I doubt if it will help people pass the exam. For most part it skims over topics without real information.

It does not have enough detail to pass the OCA or OCP by itself. You will need better testing software to do that. It does make a good building block and reference to get your certifications.

It's a good book for preparing for the OCP exams...It builds gradually as new material is introduced. With detailed and clearly presented material it's easy to get familiar with Oracle products and also pass the exams on which the book is based.
