5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for the Oracle DBA, July 14, 2002

By	Mark A. Loftin (Maineville, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This book is one of the best Oracle Press books I have purchased. This book is clear, concise, and has very few errors. Other books from Oracle can have pages of fluff with long-winded examples; this book tells you what you need to know about 9i.

I purchased this book solely to pass the 9i New Features OCP exam. Most of the questions on the test are covered well by the author. This book will also make a great reference for future use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for someone with strong database backgroud........, March 7, 2002

By	Mohammad Zahid "mzahid" (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is good for someone with strong Oracle background. If you are a starter and want to get familiar with Oracle 9i then you are better off purchasing Oracle 9i DBA Handbook. You must know all features of Oracle 8i before even thinking about buying this book. Examples and contents in this book are explained very well. I will give this book 4 stars ...
