Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Take charge of your career with the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) certification for Oracle9i. Oracle is the leading database on the market, putting Oracle database administrators in high demand, and the new Oracle9i OCP program was recently ranked #2 on the CertCities.com list of 'The 10 Hottest Certifications for 2002.' The Oracle9i Certification Kit includes Study Guides for each of the four exams required for OCP certification-- Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (1Z1-007), Oracle9i DBA Fundamentals I (1Z1-031), Oracle9i DBA Fundamentals II (1Z1-032), and Database Performance Tuning (1Z1-033). Organized for optimal learning and retention, each Study Guide provides in-depth coverage of all exam objectives, hundreds of challenging review questions, and a searchable electronic version of the entire book. No other Oracle9i self-study product compares!
The Training kit includes four training manuals and four CD-ROMs.

It is worth buying this set to use for the Oracle 9i track OCP exams.
*OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide (1Z0-007)
Good book, it covers pretty much all the exam objectives. It is easy to read and easy to follow. But I prefer the sybex study for the exam (1Z0-001) which is an alternative to the exam (1Z0-007). Overall I give 5 stars for this book within the whole set.
* OCA/OCP: Oracle9i DBA Fundamentals I Study Guide (1Z0-031)
Very good! The content of the book is well-aligned with the exam objectives. It is easy to read and easy to follow. Can even be used as reference. I also give 5 stars for this book within the whole set.
* OCP: Oracle9i DBA Fundamentals II Study Guide (1Z0-032)
The only bad apple in the basket. This book does not account for all the exam objectvies outlined by the Oracle Certification Program. The book does covers some of the topics tested on the exam but not in depth to make you feel comfortable. I admit I gained some knowledge out of this. Overall it is not a complete guide. I rate 3 stars within the whole set.
* OCP: Oracle9i Performance Tuning Study Guide (1Z0-033)
Best book! Complete coverage of the exam objectives. The coverage is good and clear with many screenshots of codes. The only problem with this book is it does not follow the format of exam objectives. But you can still find your way out. Overall, I recommend it. I give 5 stars within the whole set.
Finally, my suggestion is this: to maximize your chance and master the topic, try to get also the Oracle Press books. If you couple the Oracle Press books and the Sybex Study guide, you don't need the expensive practice test software. You will have plenty of questions you will increase your chance of passing the very first time.

While the very first two volumes covered the testing material fairly well, the last two volumes (Fundamentals II & Performance Tuning) compare very poorly to their counterparts published by Oracle Press. I have bought other Sybex study guides, and they have been nothing but good to me. This "kit" comes up a little short. If you must absolutely buy a boxed set for the cost savings, I would recommend Oracle Press's set ISBN number 007219524X also available at Amazon.
In the book for Fundamentals II, the coverage of networking, Shared Server and imp/exp is VERY sparse. While the sections on Backups is better, the Oracle Press books were a little more on target in presenting concepts for the exam.
The Oracle Press book for Performance Tuning was a much better choice not only for the exam, but also works as a great reference at my desk. Again, the material and its presentation was more complete and representative of the concepts tested on the exam.

This is definitely the best oracle 9i book in the market.
However, you must use it with the Simulate Exam question.
Otherwise, I think is impossble to pass.
I think ocpfree/ocpfree1/ocpfree2/ocpfreeX in yahoogroup.com has provide a valuable Exam Simulation all for free.
No need to buy the simulate test. This book + yahoogroups + Study will gurantee you pass.

Hi,
The content and the style is really comprehensive and easy to understand. The best part is the closeness to the actual exam.
There are so many books to learn about Oracle but by using this book and exam sim from whizlabs, I could easily cracked the exam.
I'll highly recommed it.
Best wishes,
Sunil
