5.0 out of 5 stars Passed the exam with 88%, 18 Feb 2002

By A Customer

Excellent way to prepare for the 9i SQL exam. Easy to read with focus on the important stuff in the exam.

This book was the only preparation aid I utilized (I do have some SQL experience, though) and it got my through the exam with a passmark of 88%. This is all there is to say about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK (If you have no other choice), 4 Jul 2002

By	"dr_sausage" - See all my reviews

The guide is pretty comprehensive and, if you already have a background in SQL then it should be enough to get you through the exam - after all it's not rocket science. There are, however, some glaring errors in it and the answers to some of the test questions are wrong making you wonder how long was taken in validating the content.

On the other hand with on-line / class based training being so expensive if you are trying to pass these exams in your own time with your own money, you may have little choice other than resort to this kind of study kind of guide and for what it is it's pretty good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Passed the exam - however the book contained errors, 5 April 2002

By	Mr. C. V. Ellison "cve25" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was my 'bible' for passing the Oracle 9i SQL exam which I did do. However the book contained numerous errors especially in describing the ansi vs. Oracle outer join syntax which it got the wrong way round. Just try the examples on page 115 Table 3.1! Whilst the example exam questions in both the book and the CD were useful they pailed in comparison to those on the exam. If you want to pass the exam buy the book but don't use it as your only reference when learning SQL!
