Description Oracle8I Certified Professional Dba Certification Exam Guide This is a good book to give you a basic introduction to Oracle if you are new to it. The questions, although they test your understanding, are way too simple compared to the exam. I would recommend it as a basic reading supplemented by other texts. There are some minor mistakes but in general, it is a good book and the author suggests several review sections at the end of each chapter enabling you to cover the whole part in a couple of pages. In summary, combined with some computer practice, this book should suffice for your OCP track. have passed all five exams for Oracle 8i OCP certification in Database Administration. My only study resources were this Exam Guide, Couchman's Practice Exams text and Oracle's own documentation (which is now available via the internet). I feel I learned a tremendous amount from this book, not only helping me pass the exams, but enhancing my career skills as well. I found this book was extremely useful, especially the PL/SQL, Admin and Architecture, and Backup/Recovery sections. For the Tuning and Networking exams I relied more on the Oracle documentation. This book gives an excellent overview of what is covered on the exams and Oracle's documentation helps fill in the gaps. I recommend this book to DBA's with some experience who wish to become certified. Place a Bid!
