Title: Oracle DBA Exam Cram: Test 3 and Test 4: Exam: TEST 3 & TEST 4 by Michael R. Ault ISBN: 1-57610-331-5 Publisher: Coriolis Group Books Pub. Date: 03 September, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.22 (23 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Why reviews are so different
Comment: If you read reviews here you can be amazed how different they are. Some people put 5 stars and other just 1. Wonder why?
I used this book as the only tutorial for both exams and I passed them with a good score. The book really helps you to prepare. It's pretty slim but it contains all required information. Test examples are very good and very similar to real ones.
But there are some bad things. In a few places it has mistakes and some of them maybe confusing. It's not very important for exams preparation but probably it's annoying enough for some people to put 1 star. Another reason is a book structure. It's not supposed to be a general Oracle tutorial. It's just the exam cram. You can easily pass exam using this book but it's also true that you won't have complete Oracle vision in your head. I guess, some people don't like it too. But according to me it's a plus, not minus.
And don't forget that these exams will be retired at August, 2000!

Summary: Get it for the practice tests
Comment: Better organized than the first Exam Cram book (Tests 1 & 2). Plus there are fewer mistakes/typos.
I didn't feel that the chapters on Backup & Recovery prepared you adequately for the test. However the author does admit that this book is intended as a "pocket guide".
My recommendation is that you combine this book with other study material. The practice questions, sample tests and cram sheet are the best aspects of this publication.

Summary: Don't expect anything about RMAN
Comment: Although this was an easier read than Oracle's DBA Certification Exam Guide, I expected that it would be more up to date. Oracle has had RMAN since version 8 and there is not even a reference to its existence in this book! Exam 3 is heavily weighted on RMAN and understanding it is critical to your success on the test along with your sucess as a DBA. This book needs to be updated!
