2.0 out of 5 stars Just not enough, March 17, 2000

By	John Buzard (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

The book was very helpful in an overall review of Oracle 8.05 and OEM 1.6. The main problem lies in the recommendations of when you are ready to take the test and the limited number of questions offered. I found enough errors in material and confusing explanations of questions to doubt the material. When one question can make or break the certification a better editorial review was needed so that no confusion would be possible.

No updates or corrections were provided on the site you are pointed to in the book.

Chapter 10 is a review of the styles of questions on the test, they are all used but not in the practice test. When I ordered this book, the preview said there were 300 questions, you are lucky if there are 100. In 2 weeks I was able to read the book, get 100% on the tests, took the self test from the oracle site, got 40 out 40 and still didn't have enough to pass the certification.

I can't recommend this book if you goal is to use it to pass the DBO test. An example of errors in the book would be a question 7 in chapter 5. The answer doesn't match the explanation and it is differant when you do the same question in the practice test.

4.0 out of 5 stars HELPS you pass the DBO Exam, May 16, 2000

By	M. Linehan "demonicell" (Edina, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All other reviewers have complained about either being confused or unhappy with the content of this book. As in all other certification books that I have read, this book alone will not pass the test. However if you use this book as a guide for the testing material, which is what it is designed for , and use other materials (such as: DBA Handbook, Hands on experience, and Self-Test Software's exam simulations) you will pass the exam. I did. Book does have a few typos in it so I can't give it five stars but all in all it was what I needed to make sure I was prepared for the exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars I passed both the dbo and internet dbo exam with this book., January 12, 2001

By A Customer

This book was great. You need the software and this book in order to pass the test. I recommend reading the book a couple of time to really understand Oracle. Remember Oracle recommends you have 6 month hands on experience before taking the test.
