1.0 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money, August 20, 2003
By A Customer
This book contains 130 pages and if the font size were normal it would have been around 30 pages. I read this book in less than 15 Mins and I have not learned anything new.
The book has 5 chapters which basically can be classified in three parts
Part 1
Explains the Oracle Certification in which can be viewed on the Oracle Web site.
Part 2
Decorum - How you present yourself at an interview
Part 3
Basic questions on Oracle
Eg - what is the password for Scott user and System?
- Describe the difference between a procedure and a function
- How do you select the date from sqlplus?

1.0 out of 5 stars A Stern Tonic, June 1, 2005
By Invisible to the Eye (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
[...]
These are not guys prone to asking hypotheticals, or encouraging thought experiments. They wear white shirts. They have answers. You'd better know these answers, and only these, because they've been written down in this little book.

No subtle distinctions, variations of experience, or questions of cognitive talent will clutter their decision processes at hiring time. These are not distractible people.

They cover a lot of ground here. Who makes a great Oracle person? Electrical Engineers are perfect candidates -- but watch out for Education majors (they're suspect). (FYI, this reviewer is an E.E. -- glad to know I'm okay.) What personality type is best? Try to get one with an "'Anal' personality,"

"after Sigmund Freud's theory of anal-retentive personalities" (page 34).

I bet these guys are great fun. Pleasant to work with (assuming you've memorized the entire content of your site's init.ora, and can recite it verbatim).

I must heartily disagree with one of the critics of this book. It is not wide and shallow. Rather it is narrow and subterranean. It expects encyclopedic knowledge of Oracle trivia -- the minor and/or once-in-a-career kind of stuff.

Most answers it asks for are the kind slovenly architects and developers refer to in the documentation, when, if ever, they are pertinent, or whenever they've been forgotten in the rush of ten dozen other tasks, or after the certification test is done with. You'll only be getting cream with this book, the kind of professionals who read and reread from Rampant's Oracle In-Focus series, especially to the kids before bed each and every night.

Heaven help you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of paper, May 3, 2004
By A Customer
A long time ago I purchased a book by Mike Ault and inside there were the same questions he publised in this book - the problem is that a good portions of these questions are completely obsolete by now (like SQLnet v2 or utlbstat/ustat questions) while some answers are wrong (like myths about high hit ratios)!
This book should never be published (like almost all the rest of 'Rampant' books). Save your money and get Oracle Interview Questions from the net as these found in this book will not be asked on Oracle job iterviews.
