All you need is there.

I've just passed the test. That was the only exam preparation book I used to get prepared. Yes, a few questions from the real test were not covered BUT this book has everything you need to PASS. Excellent tutorial!

shooting at a moving target

As the author, I want to address some comments made here about the book. First, it is true that there is some material on the 8 to 8i upgrade exam that is either not covered in the book, or is not covered in the depth that is required for the test. This is a result of at least one change to the exam during the creation of the book, and at least one significant change to the exam after the book was published. Also, the test covers a vast amount of new material, which makes prepping for it more difficult in my opinion.Yet, I think you will find that the book still covers a large majority of the relevant topics that you will find on the exam. I think that you will find that this book will help prepare you for the test, and you should be able to pass the exam if you know all the material presented in this book.... I also think you will find this book more readable than other books out there. Finally, Supplemental reading and test exams can also help prepare you for the exam.I hope that you enjoy the book and pass the exam with flying colors!

This adds a shape to your knowledge base

To prepare for the exam the Oracle ref. manual and practical experience/common sense is esential , no doubt about it. But this book gives a dimension and shape to your knowledge base which is essential for passing the exam. Robert we are indebted to you. By the way When 9i book is coming out !ThanksSantanuOracle 7 , 8 , 8i OCP

Overall excellent study source for the Oracle8i upgrade exam

The overall quality of this book is excellent for an OCP study guide. The material is well organized with the right technical depth, and the practice questions are well done. The rampant edit problems from the Oracle8 upgrade book are gone. There are still a few technical inaccuracies. Most disappointing was the continued problems with partitioned indexes (improved, but global prefixed indexes are partioned based on the leftmost column(s) of the index not the partition key of the table).

Get ready to pass the test!

Having reviewed the book, I found it well-organized and well-written. There is quite a bit to learn. The authors distilled the facts in a way that the material makes sense, preparing the reader to not only pass the exam, but to retain a cohesive understanding of the new features of Oracle 8i.
