I hate reading this book - boring.
Lots of mistakes in the text and in the software.
Test software is awful - multiple choice questions often have single choice controls. Sometimes duplicates of answer. Once I spoted even missed text of a question - it was just "New Question" I would never ever recommend it - buy another one - there is plenty on the market.

This is book is geared for Oracle DBAs as the title indicates and is therefore written accordingly. It does have a few mistakes that you should be able to spot. As far as the exam is concerned, it covers most of the material on the test but don't use it as your only preparation tool because this book lacks depth. If this is your only study guide, unless you're an experienced DBA and master all the content in this book you will not pass the exam.

This book is good as a study guide, but you HAVE to go more deeper with the official documentation and exercise the topics with a real database. I just passed the test and it was only because I studied the topics in much further detail. It is also based on release 1 not on current release 2. It has several mistakes but easy to discover, you have to crosscheck with the documentation. But the book is a good guide, otherwise the scope of study would be too big.

Its not a bad book, easy reading, good structure. Has nice CD-rom testing software.
But let me tell you.. its not nearly detailed enough. I just took the OCP 9i and you need to cover way more material than is covered in this book. I'd say 50% of the exam is in this book, so that is not very good coverage.

Poor book with many mistakes. lack of broad and detail regarding the test. I dont understand Oracle Press even allowed it be puplished. I just took 1z0-030 exam and failed as I trusted this book too much. when I saw exma on the screen, I knew I would fail for this right away. I had never fail for any Oracle exms once. I did this time. I felf I was cheated by this book. I suggest your all don't trust this book and nor buy it for your expensive test unless you really want to throw your money away.
