ALL YOU NEED for IZO-025
By A Customer on October 14, 2002
Format: Paperback
This book is all you need, but there are a few things that you need to realize before taking the test. First, I would like to say that I am a Sybase DBA with no Oracle experience, and I passed with a 50/60 by using this book. You don't really need experience to pass the Oracle certification exams if you get the right book, and this one is the right one. The method that I use is to read the book, to write information on note cards as I am reading, and to review them before the test. It works, and I wouldn't bother with the Oracle courses unless you don't understand a concept or you feel that you need more hands-on experience.
Although you should be able to pass by using this book, there are various misconceptions that may affect your performance. One misconception is that the practice exams in this book, which are fairly straightforward, are like those on the exam. This is untrue. The statement, "There are two right answers for every question" holds true for the Oracle certification exams. You just have to pick the answer that is "most correct." Also, you actually do have to choose multiple answers on certain questions, and you have to watch out for that as well.
Another misconception is that you may not need to read every chapter. You need to read every chapter unless you are very familiar with Oracle.
This book covers all the points you will need. It restates the points many times and in different ways, but all of chapters are necessary for the exam. The information in this book is clear if you've passed the previous exams and you're familiar with RDBMS concepts. The only concept that I didn't understand when I first read the book was RMAN cumulative and incremental backups.
Lastly, good luck and don't panic...

Superior for exam prep, and reference!
By John on March 11, 2002
Format: Paperback
Its quality far surpasses that of the Exam Cram books I bought years ago for MCSE certification. This is comprehensive, reliable, pertinent information and nothing else packed into a dense little book.
I passed the exam on the first crack. (I also used the Sybex materials but those are poor in comparison because they contain spotty information, much of which is flat wrong!) Even if you just want to pass the exam, save yourself a lot of trouble: this book is the clear winner. It's not perfect, but it is the best (better than the thick Oracle Press prep book, too). Its imperfections are similar to those of the exam.
Chapters 10-12 are the "meat and potatoes" for an operational DBA who must know how to recover. There is an excellent chapter on import/export. There are three gruelling chapters on RMAN --just shut up and take it. :) My team nurses over fifty (50) Oracle databases for a large bank, and I'm buying a second copy to have at home for dial-in emergencies. It has meticulous step-by-step procedures with sample commands. I like this better than the highly-touted "8i Backup & Recovery Handbook" from Oracle Press. No kidding.

The best but Oracle has more...
By A newly OCP on February 8, 2002
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is the best of the kind. I read two books and did the sample exams at the end of books by reaching 90% results. However, today I almost failed in the exam. Nothing wrong with Debbie's book. Actually, if it's not her book, I would fail for sure. Just beware that Oracle brings up a lot of things in the exam which you don't find in most other 4 exams. Such as more cosolidated concept that you need to understand the whole backup/recovery flow and architecture instead of just memorizing some Q&A. This is the touchest exam so far I experienced in all five 8i DBA tests. Use Oracle official manual as an assistance to help, if you want to score higher.

Good Preparation Material for OCP
By "wendry_yang" on July 21, 2003
Format: Paperback
I am a beginner in Oracle and I don't have an hands on experience. This book is a very good book to prepare for the test, I pass 55/60. The lack of this book is that some of its discussion are overlapping, for example some definitions are redefined again in later chapter with difference, some are okay some are confusing. Sybex books are better for reading, but on this area exam cram will prepare you better.
My 5 wrong answers are all from the RMAN section !! , so you may need to get deeper source on this one, because it's just covers up the characteristics and options available for RMAN.
However, this book combined with selftest preparation software are GOOD COMBO to pass the test as long as you learn them well. I prepare myself 3 months only for this test. Don't buy Jason S Couchman book !! <- this book is really2 bad for the test, okay for further reading but very bad for the test. So good luck guys...
