Summary: Performance Tuning incomple but enough to pass
Comment: My Performance Tuning exam study was completely based on this book and I passed. However, I had a few surprises on the exam; there were certain things that were not even mentioned in the book. I did 80%. For my previous exams, I'd used books in this series but I had also studied Oracle lecture notes and I had made more than 90%. For Performance Tuning exam, don't forget to study the MTS chapter, which is in the Network Administration section of the book. There will be several questions on the subject.

Summary: I recommend this book.
Comment: I scored 54 out of 57 on the 8i Performance and Tuning exam using this book. The explainations in that section are better than in any other book I've used. I also used the Self Test Software and some notes I found on-line to get fully prepared.
The Network Admin portion of the book is good too, but there seems to be a lot more errors in that part. Also some of the examples confused me, but perhaps that was due to the errors, I don't know. Better supplement this book with another reference, just in case.
This book is heavy and bulky, so it isn't something I'd want to tote around. Wish they didn't bundle two books together. On the whole it is a great book; if not for the errors in it, I'd have given it 5 stars.

Summary: Good Book - Bad CD
Comment: I enjoyed reading this presentation of the Oracle software even though it contained many typographical errors. It was like sitting down with a senior software engineer and having him explain how the software works.
My only disappointment was with the included CD containing practice tests. I had to have the CD replaced because it was shipped before it was tested. The replacement CD would not install on my PC using the instructions in the readme file. It appears no one tested the instructions. I don't understand why the publisher is unwilling to test the product before shipping it. I was able to run the tests directly from the CD, however this was much noiser than running from disk.
This book is still better than what Oracle provides, even with the CD problems.
