It is an excelent book for take your test

I am a OCP 8i thanks this book, the content is exactly you need for prepare all tets. The simulator is excelent

This book helped me certify.

I 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.

Please go for the book if you have some experience in oracle

Good book.Teaches in a simple and systematical way.Going for Certification?Sure have a copy of this book.But got to refere other books too.

Very Helpful

I passed the 5th and final test today (Networking) for my OCP certification, and I used this book as my main resource. I also used Exam Cram books for PL/SQL, Backup & Recovery, and Networking (a must!). I also used Couchman's OCP DBA Practice Exams book (contains 15 exams), and practice exams from the folks at Self Test Software (there's one for each test, containing approx 300 questions per). I studied like a demon and then used the practice exams to show me where I needed to go back and review. I passed each test on the first attempt. My background is client/server programming using PowerBuilder, with an Oracle database as the backend. My DBA experience is minimal; my PL/SQL experience is intermediate.

Best training guide for OCP!

This book is excellent! I took a course live and online and they missed alot of things that are covered in this book. Thy give you tests at the end of each chapter that are at same difficulty as OCP exam. Even though they seem to cover more stuff they tell you what will and will not be on the test. I feel more confident with this book. Before I felt I was studying for the test. Now I feel like I'm studying for a real job! If you can commit to book studying, this book is worth it!Cindy A.
