5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to pass the 1Z0-001 exam, look no further!!, January 20, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oracle8i DBA: SQL and PL/SQL Certification Bible (Hardcover)
This book set me on the right path! Having had no experience with Oracle, I had study only this book, went through its practice questions and lab exercises, and in 1-1/2 month's time, I passed my first exam with flying colors! If anyone is interested in becoming a OCP for Oracle9i and want to also validate your skills in PL/SQL, this book will definitely help you pass your first test. There are some example and question errors in this books, but most are not essential, or are at least noticeable. In any case, it delivers the results and I have nothing but high regards for it.
