This is a good place to start learning about Oracle Networking. You will pass your exam if you rely only on this book, but to be comfortable, I strongly suggest you read the Oracle documentation and get practice tests. The practice test in the book was easier than the exam. This book will give you a good foundation, and good and detailed examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Clear Explanations, September 7, 2001

This review is from: Oracle8i DBA: Network Administration Exam Cram (Exam: 1Z0-026) (Paperback)

After reading tons of material for the Net Admin test, this book is by far well presented and easy to understand in all the main areas. Use it as an excellent review book. The exam prep questions, however, are not close to the real thing but good for learning anyway. Makes a good teaching supplement also.

Very well designed. If you are looking to pass oracle exam, this is one of the best references you can have. If you do not have Hands-on experience then you might want to read some other books too. Otherwise, this is it. It covers everything necessary for the exam.
