Summary: OCP Oracle9i Certification Boxed Set
Comment: I have to agree with everyone's negative comments about the 1st book.
My brother works as a high level DB designer for Oracle and after I showed him "Intro to Oracle9i SQL" he agreed with me there is no surprise why I failed exam 1Z0-007 on my first try. I read this book cover to cover 3 times and did nearly all of the practice questions and exams. Despite this I encountered questions on the exam about concepts I never saw before.
There is probably nothing more frustrating than trying to learn this material (from a beginner's perspective) and you figure out that you know the Author is incorrect on some concepts and practice questions. The Author should be the expert on the material I was depending on this.
I purchased the OCP Oracle9i DBA Certification Boxed Set and now I am going to purchase the Sybex series to fill in the gaps. I will keep in mind the Performance Tuning book is the only one in this set that has received good reviews. I believe the rest of the books will become good dust collectors.
Good Luck!

Summary: Needs Polishing
Comment: Overall, this is a reasonably useful set of books. The books can be used both as general reference and as study guides for the OCP exams. There are several errors, especially in volume 1, OCP Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL Exam Guide. I recommend downloading the errata for volume 1 and marking the changes before you start reading. Also, I suggest you run through all the examples and verify the answers given in the books. I found a few errors that the errata didn't catch. These books are a nice place to start for test preparation, but don't rely on them as your only test preparation guide. I found the questions on the tests to be much more difficult than the practice questions in these books.
Rating: 5
Summary: A definite must buy
Comment: The book set contains all of the necessary subject and has many relevant examples to help in the real test. I have used the set and got my certification very fast. There are some errors but those have no effect on the general content of the book.
