Customer Reviews

Good book

I am really surprised with such a low overall rating for this book. It definitely has errata, but overall presentation, fluid style makes it very easy to read even for difficult topics (such as composite partitioning, dimensioning - especially if you are not using it). I found it very helpful, and there was nothing in the exam that was not covered in the book. The examcram book along with Oracle Documentation (and, of course, hands on experience) you will definitely be able to pass exam, and your Oracle8i knowledge will improve. It is really amazing to find all the new features which exist in Oracle8i (and lot more in Oracle9i), which makes database administration so much more simpler. Go Oracle!

A must have for DBA8i upgrade exam

This book provides concise, explicit, summarized features for the Oracle8i upgrade exam. What I think would be relevant to prospective readers is that this book covers all the essential topics from the DBA 8i upgrade perspective. If you see the exam and try other books, the 8i stuff is too vast to be covered in a short period. This book however simplifies all that by providing the features is a very well laid out format (as per the DBA exam) and the exercise at the end of the chapter and the book are also very helpful. Definitely a book to be owned even if you are not appering for the exam but still need to find out all the features in Oracle8i (v/s Oracle 8). Thumbs up.
