 Great Study GuideMar 04, 2001
By Diego Salvo
After reading the whole book I can say this is a great study guide for Oracle8i and for the certification too. There are some erros on the book (Sintax Erros), but anyway the book helped me to get certified so I will give 5 stars intead of 4. The book doesn't explain why the things are that way (as Oracle Press books do), just explain that are that way. The questions that are on the book after each chapter are extremely easy comparing to the certification exams. The Oracle sample questions are also easy comparing to the certification, but the ocp.exe exam that is on the book's CD is at the same level or the certification. If you know everything on the book, and did all the questions and sample questions, I think you are ready to pass on the Certification Exam.

 Excellent part 1 (Architecture ...) Bad part 2 (Backup...)May 14, 2001
By Marco A. Nunes
I have passed the 1z0-023 (architecture...) easily only using that book. But I haven't passed the 1z0-025 (backup ...) whith that book because the 2'nd part is very unreal in relation with the actual exam.

 Don't Read BACKUP & Recovery Part if you want to pass.Jul 15, 2001
By Sameh Shawkat Odeh
"ODEH SAMEH"
I've previous experience in DBA before reading this book. The Architecture & Administration PART was excellent and cover around 95% of the test questions, but the second part Backup & Recovery was full of errors and not useful at all and doesn't cover more than 25% of the test questions, and only cover the titles of the test!!!!

Will it work for you?May 13, 2001
I am in the process of becoming an Oracle DBA and have attended the DBA Architecture & Administration course run by Oracle. I bought this book to suppliment the course and found it to be well structured and pretty easy to read which enabled to me to pass the Prometric exam. The sample questions are very useful.I have since studied the Backup and Recovery section and passed the exam purely by reading this book. Both these exams were achieved within 1 month of each other and I have yet to obtain any real 'hands-on' experience (my background is Cobol, cics, DB2). As a note though, the Backup and Recovery section does not mention Tags; learn this!

Excellent book for Arch. and Admin. ExamFeb 22, 2002
By Sankar Subramanian from McLean, VA
I am a person with limited exposure to Oracle DBA stuff and this book was wonderful as far as the Part I is concerned. It is very well structured, easy to read and comes with a great CD full of practice exams. I passed the exam with a 58/64 score and I found the real exam much easier after going thro' this book (chapters 1 thro 9). I am not sure about the Backup and Recovery piece as I have just started my preparations..
