The OCP Exam Guide by Couchman is excellent. I read it cover to cover for my OCP (8) exams. However, I did find it didn't cover some topics covered on the Tuning exam. I didn't buy his Practice Exams so I can't say on those. But, in my opinion you can never have enough tests. I bought practice exams from STS and also took practice tests on brainbench.com -Warren -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 4:26 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, Please let me know your views on the following 2 books by Jason Couchman: Oracle8i Certified Professional DBA Certification Exam Guide Oracle8i Certified Professional DBA Practice Exams Thanks Prakash -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Bala, Prakash INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
