Title: OCP: Oracle9i DBA Fundamentals II Study Guide by Doug Stuns, Matthew Weishan ISBN: 0-7821-4064-5 Publisher: Sybex Pub. Date: 24 April, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |

Summary: Lite on the subject matter
Comment: Having used the previous two study guides in the set for Oracle 9i DBA OCP, I found the third book (this one) to be missing the depth the first two had. I've been using Oracle's online documentation to supplement my study. This book gave me a good overview for starting, but the authors seem to pick a few examples for mostly illustrative purposes, and the questions just didn't do the subject material justice. I expect more from a study guide than just that. Organization could be better too. (Same goes for Oracle's docs.) There are so many convoluted ways to backup/restore/recover that a study guide needs to bring it all together in a concise summary. Of course that's a good exercise left to the student, along with the some hands-on stuff, which I need to get back to. I just wish I had a study guide that made better sense of it all.

Summary: Not enough to pass the exam
Comment: I passed the exam and used this book during my study but fortunately not only this book.
Pros
- The book is clear and quite pleasant to read
- You certainly need to know what's in this book to pass the exam
Cons
- All subjects in the test list are covered but not in depth
- During this Oracle certification exam, you will have basic questions about backup/recovery and Oracle networks concepts. You will certainly be able to answer these questions if you have a good understanding of the content of this book. On the other hand, you will also have "mastery" questions which required an in depth knowledge of the subject (mainly of commands). The answer to these questions is simply not in this book. Approximatively 1 question out of 3 are concerned which in my opinion is too much.

Summary: has to be better
Comment: The text could be more thorough, it just seems to leave me needing to ask questions. Could be better if it had a glossary.
Organizization is poor, it seems to mislead you about a few topics. (I had no trouble with Fundamentals I, which was much better)
Test questions too easy.
I am going to need to find another book which covers the material before I dare take the test.
