Summary: Well structured but contains many errors
Comment: I bought this book about 2 months ago. The book is well organized and it follows the sequence of objectives of oracle 9i sql exam. It is very easy to read and in a very good format. Even though it didn't cover everything for all new 9i features, it is a good study guide.
However, as a study guide the contents are supposed to be very accurate and precise. I found many mistakes on this book and on the exercises. Sometimes I felt I had to do further research to clear things up.

Summary: Not enough to pass exam
Comment: This book is an update from the release 8i. Looks like the author did not take the time to properly update material, the functions chapter have missing lots of the new functions in 9i, same goes for MERGE and INSERT INTO (SELECT FROM ...) statements.
I was surprised some of the new 9i stuff was not even mentioned in the book.
Some of the examples are well explained, but there are some errors, you better test them and not take them as granted.
You can use this book with Sybex Introduction to Oracle 9i, both will be enough to pass exam.

Summary: How to make big $$$$ with Oracle Official Authorization
Comment: Jason Couchman must be laughing his head off on his own private island. Slap together a book full of mistakes (scripts that don't work, INCORRECT information, inane opinions,) and get it reviewed by his kindergarten kids. Get a buddy at Oracle to whack "Officially Authorized Oracle Press" on it.... then watch the dollars flow in.
He didn't even both updating reference to ora81 directories.
Shame on you Jason. I thought Nigerian e-mail scams were bad, but this book is just a cruel rip-off of people wanting to get somewhere in life.
Shame on you Oracle for giving it your blessing.
I may pass the exam but books such as this will not help me become a competent Oracle DBA.
