Rating: 5
Summary: Covers the exam 100%
Comment: I have more than 6 years of experience working with PL/SQL, but let me tell you one thing - don't attempt the 1Z0-007 exam without reading a exam guide. The fine points tested in the exam are not what every day PL/SQL programming is about. This book does an excellent job of covering all the exam objectives and just reading it cover to cover will give you adequate preparation for the test. I did all the practice questions twice along with the two bonus tests provided on the CD. I found that the level of questions in the real exam was slightly easier than that of the practice tests on the CD. How do I know? I used just this one book for preparation and scored 54/57 today afternoon. Wish you luck!

Summary: Just what the doctor ordered!
Comment: I recently passed the exam. Scored 54/57. I used this book and the materials that come in the CD (review questions, flash cards and 2 BONUS exams). Plus my several years of experience in Oracle also helped a lot.
In my opinion, this is the only book needed to get through the exam. Although, bit of practical experience is needed to come out in flying colors.
There are few mistakes, but they are easier to identify.
The book covers a lot of topics - more than 100% of what is needed to pass the exam. Real exam would be a cake-walk.
This book is a definite preparatory material.

Summary: Use as a reference -- not as your sole study guide
Comment: This book is a fairly decent review of the Introduction to Oracle 9i concepts. However, I'd like to add that there are many blaring mistakes in the book that newbies may not be able to point out. What makes me give this book 2 out of 5 stars is not just because of the typos but because of the way the book is organized and even more because of the the chapter tests. These chapter tests refer to concepts in an extremely detailed manner that were not covered in the appropriate chapters. The chapters tend to be extremely general and the practice tests contain some questions which get down to the nitty-gritty. As I was taking these self tests I found myself wondering where did they mention such a fact. When I would attempt to look up the concept for review, the fact wasn't even stated in the chapter or the book at all! There are those times when they do test you on things that are explained in later chapters -- poor organization! I felt that this was confusing and unfair to those new to this subject. I am lucky in the fact that I have taken a course in this and I have several other Oracle 9i references. Do yourself a favor and use this in conjunction with another Oracle 9i manual!
