5.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Guide, March 4, 2001

By	Diego Salvo (Porto Alegre, RS Brasil) - See all my reviews

After reading the whole book I can say this is a great study guide for Oracle8i and for the certification too. There are some erros on the book (Sintax Erros), but anyway the book helped me to get certified so I will give 5 stars intead of 4. The book doesn't explain why the things are that way (as Oracle Press books do), just explain that are that way. The questions that are on the book after each chapter are extremely easy comparing to the certification exams. The Oracle sample questions are also easy comparing to the certification, but the ocp.exe exam that is on the book's CD is at the same level or the certification. If you know everything on the book, and did all the questions and sample questions, I think you are ready to pass on the Certification Exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent part 1 (Architecture ...) Bad part 2 (Backup...), May 14, 2001

By	Marco A. Nunes (S�o Paulo, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have passed the 1z0-023 (architecture...) easily only using that book. But I haven't passed the 1z0-025 (backup ...) whith that book because the 2'nd part is very unreal in relation with the actual exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Read BACKUP & Recovery Part if you want to pass., July 15, 2001

By	Sameh Shawkat Odeh "ODEH SAMEH" (Qatar) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've previous experience in DBA before reading this book. The Architecture & Administration PART was excellent and cover around 95% of the test questions, but the second part Backup & Recovery was full of errors and not useful at all and doesn't cover more than 25% of the test questions, and only cover the titles of the test!!!!
