Rating: - Good for a brush-up, kind
You're not going to get certified with this book, but the CD is pretty good at testing your Backup and Recovery knowledge. The CD also quizzes you on Recovery Manager (RMAN), parameter files, Import, Export, SQL Loader and Listener Control utility. Everyone here is accurate; that Oracle DBA II test is very difficult to pass with this book alone, but any practice test helps.
Rating: - Waste of Money
If you use only this book, you will not pass the exam. The practice exams include topics that are not covered anywhere in the book. The level of detail provided by both the exams and the content is not sufficient to pass the real exam.

I also used the practice exam questions on the CD.
Rating: - Lite on the subject matter
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Not enough to pass the exam
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 ... Read More
