5.0 out of 5 stars
best book to pass the oca/ocp 10g exam,
By jensen (indonesia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Oracle Database 10g Handbook) (Paperback)
i buy this book together with sybex's book and have passed the oca exam with 87% score (less than what i expected though). i found this book easier to read and understand compared to sybex's book, and the many-but-short chapters works better for me. if you could only choose one book to pass the 1Z0-042 exam then this is definitely the best choice. but don't forget to practise what you read (although the book makes it looks so simple), you'll remember more by trying each exercise in this book.
added 5 feb 2007 : i have just passed my ocp exam last month, still using this book and the ocp 10g certification kits. the good thing about this book is it resembles the training materials from oracle admin II a lot, because it is published by oracle press. but just as the title says, this is the best book to pass the exam only, you need other references and lots of practices if you really want to master the oracle database technology well. however it is still a good idea to get the oca/ocp first to get you fire up (and increase your value for employers), and then continue to explore the beauties of oracle database in your daily works. as before, if you could only get one book for your ocp exam, then get this book. p.s. be aware that oracle globalization features (NLS) is now in the OCA exam instead of OCP, so the chapter structure for this book (and also sybex's book) need to be updated

Good OCP Preparation,
By
This review is from: Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Oracle Database 10g Handbook) (Paperback)
I used this book to (sucessfully) prepare for the OCA exam. It is well structured and important points for the exam are specially highlighted. This makes the content memorable and easy to learn.
The review questions are pretty good. I recommend getting the question set of www.selftestsoftware.com, too. They are not exactly like in the exam (like TestKing) but representative. I used this book and the SYBEX OCA preparation (OCA: Oracle 10g Administration I Study Guide (1Z0-042) by Chip Dawes) and found this one clearly superior. Still, it is not perfect: There was some exam-relevant details missing, e.g. for data pump. So check with the selftest questions and get the missing information from the Oracle manuals on the net.

Well written, a good study aid,
By
This review is from: Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Oracle Database 10g Handbook) (Paperback)
I bought this book in addition to the Sybex guide. At this time I have taken only the first exam, and was happy with the instruction I received from this book. I passed the test on the first try despite my somewhat rusty Oracle skills.
This book is extremely well organized and readable. The chapters are short enough to fully digest at one sitting. The information is complete, though I would say that it may not quite be as "test-specific" as the Sybex book is. However, unlike the Sybex book, there are great chapter summaries here which are useful when going back over things in preparation for the test. My suggestion, if you can afford it, would be to buy both books and forego any other study aids or classes you might be considering. There is some overlap, but each book does touch on some things that the other one misses and some topics are covered more in depth by either book. I would rate this one slightly superior, mainly due to its readability and lack of errors and typos.
