Summary: Buy it for the CD
Review: I felt this book had the best exams and chapter review questions.Nonethless I recommend you read all the OCP books out there, and take all the sample exams you can get you hands on.

Summary: Well written but out out sync with exam.
Review: The book is well written and provides the student with good working knowledge of Oracle 7/8. But the materials seem to be slightly out of sync with the exams. Some subject areas are covered in greater detail than necessary for the exam. A few of the exam question topics were not covered in the Training Guide. The book's review questions do not properly prepare the student for the complex type of questions on the exam.
Rating:
Summary: Good Study Guide
Review: There are some small errors, but the book has good examples and covers most of the exam topics. It's easy to read and well organized. Since there aren't so many OCP study guides, you should give it a try.

Summary: Buy it for the CD
Review: This book lightly touches on the objectives. It doesn't have NEARLY the material to pass the test. I compared test objectives on official Oracle sample tests to covered objectives on this book and found out that in many cases this book DID NOT either have the objective or covered it lightly. You will probably need the Oracle Complete Reference book and another Oracle Press-type DBA book to prepare for the exams. The only good thing about this book is that you can get a decent knowledge of database administration in only 100 pages (not enough for the exam though).
