2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, I was expecting more., July 8, 2001
This review is from: Oracle8i Certified Professional DBA Practice Exams (Paperback)
The problem with this book is that the author seemed to take the exact questions from his Oracle 8 practice tests and copy them into this book. I even saw numerous questions that said "In Oracle8..." shouldn't it say 8i?

There is a reason Oracle 8i has its own set of tests, there are new features and added/deleted objectives. Case in point, in the first Network Administration practice exam there are about 6 or 7 questions on Oracle Intelligent Agent. Unfortunately Oracle Intelligent Agent is not covered on the actual 8i exam. Also I found two or three questions in the practice exam that were dead wrong. All this in just 20 minutes of reviewing the book in the store.

I don't recommend this book to anyone that is serious about getting their OCP. Stick with the Sybex books and the STS exams(if you really need the extra practice). I did all my studying with just the Sybex books. Good Luck.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't count on this book for guidance to OCP, November 26, 2001
By 
"mariekem" (Clearwater, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle8i Certified Professional DBA Practice Exams (Paperback)
Usually the Couchman books are pretty good and cover the necessary material. Not in this case, though. The actual exams cover a lot of topics that are not even mentioned in passing in this book. You'll be wasting your OCP exam money if you think this book can guide you. You'll have to find your practice material elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars There are better books out there, May 12, 2002
This review is from: Oracle8i Certified Professional DBA Practice Exams (Paperback)
I'm taking my 5th OCP exam tomorrow. I bought this book 4 exams ago as a self-tester. As others have stated, there are too many problems in this book. Answers that are clearly wrong. Material that was most likely in Oracle 8, but not in 8i. I thought I was well prepared, took one of these tests and saw a ton of questions that weren't in any other study material. When I went to take the tests, and what do you know - that material wasn't on the tests either! Each exam I thought I'd give this book a second chance. Each exam that exercise was a waste of time.
There is better study material out there - don't waste your money.
