Summary: A Must Have
Comment: Oracle 9i database is a completely new beast from Auto Undo Management and Flashback Query to External Tables and Full Outer Joins.
This book is a great mid to high level introduction to all the new features in the 9i database. The author's style is concise and easily understandable. Lots of examples help with grasping the concepts.
This book is a must have for the experienced 8 or 8i DBA who is looking to bring 9i into his shop.

Summary: Great overview of 9i features
Comment: This book is an excellent overview of the Oracle 9i new features. I would recommend this to DBAs, programmers and the like who would like a concise, high-level overview of the numerous features available in 9i without getting so far into the details that it becomes burdensome to read (that's what manuals are for.)
Some of the new features were missing and there were a few mistakes, but I was able to pass the 9i upgrade exam using this book and the SelfTest software. Overall a worthwhile book (the only book as far as I know) for an introduction to the new features of 9i.

Summary: Freeman the man!
Comment: I've been using Freeman's books for OCP upgrades in the past and they were good. This time he hasn't written an OCP book, I still got this one hoping to use it as a supplemental training material.
Let's make it clear - it is not an OCP upgrade guide! It doesn't provide any practice questions and doesn't follow the test objectives closely enough.
But as a new features overview this book is really nice. It gives you an impression that you met this guy somewhere in the office and he got a minute to tell you about the 9i. The book is easy to read, full of humor. It is also not too long and it took me one evening to read it. But, frankly, some topics are just barely mentioned.
Overall, it's a great starting point to learn about 9i.
