This is definitely the best of the 5 cram books for Oracle8 DBA certification exams. The author demonstrated that she is an experienced DBA in Oracle. I have never touched Oracle but I have been DBA for many years and I know a good DBA when I see one. I luckily passed all exams in 9 weeks using the cram books. Thank you Debbie!

Excellent preparation for the exam. Like the Performance Tuning, DBA, and Network Exam Crams, the material is well organized, thorough, and the practice exams are harder than the real thing.

I just passed my first OCP test today,3 hours ago. Before reading this book, I tried the free self-test sofware from Oracle and made only 40%. Today I made 90% or 54 corrects out of 60 questions in the real exam. Without this book, I surely will fail, especially at the Recovery Manager sections (18 questions) which I am not familiar with. Besides, thanks to this book, I found many mistakes I made in the backup strategy for our databases and corrected them. Thanks, Debbie!. You wrote a great book!. It helped me more than the 2000-dollar course I attended.

This book is a typical Exam Cram book: everything you should know for the exam is explained shortly enough to qualify as a Cram and thoroughly enough to help you memorize the facts. Also very exam-oriented, with good example questions. I can’t think of notable weak points for this book right now, so I’ll rate it with 5 stars.

This book contains detailed materials to pass the 1Z0-015 exam. It gives you a confidence level of at least 85%. Mainly with this book, (and some references to Oracle manuals, Oracle handbook by Kevin Loney and review notes(Cramsession/ Oraclenotes), I was able to pass with 57/60.
