1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing - too many errors for a technical book!, 25 Feb 2005

By	"sansh" - See all my reviews

Let me make this clear - I liked the contents.
But having said that, I was extremely disappointed at what seems
like a "rush" editing job.
There are just too many typo's and in some cases, contradicting
technical information in the book. Especially in the Q&A sections after any chapter where it seems that the answers say something contrary to what was explained in the chapter.
Also, its a frustrating exercise to constantly look up Oracle's
documentation just to confirm whether the data dictionary view names/ column names/ package names (and concepts) in the book are correct!! Not something you would want to spend time on
while studying for a technical exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good enough to get you through the exam, 18 Jan 2005

By	Melanie March "kitty_karate" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've got a couple of gripes about this book,as with all technical publications it could stand more proofreading as I spotted several errors that could cause you to get a question wrong. The sample questions at the end of chapters were not properly reviewed, where incorrect answers were given or the question numbers did not add up.

Why a 4 star review? Apart from all these short comings the book is a good reference guide to certification, guiding you through the requirements for the 10g upgrade exam. It explains some concepts, especially the new SQL features more clearly than the 10g Instructor Led Training. The book also has little hints and tips about using new features in the 'real world'.

1.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read book ruined by innumerable errors., 5 Dec 2005

By	"old_trev" - See all my reviews

I found this book very easy to read and covers all the main points needed for the Oracle 10G OCP exam (1Z0-040). However, The book is absolutely riddled with errors and McGraw-Hill do not list this book on there webpage of errata for books they publish. In conclusion, do not use this book as your only learning source for this exam or you'll fail badly!!
