OCA: Oracle 10g Administration I Study Guide (1Z0-042) Review by Dave Price
Mostly worthless
This book does not cover topics well enough to pass the exam. It might be useful as an addition to other materials or as a review for experienced DBAs, but it does NOT have the information you need to pass by itself.
After failing the OCA exam (after acing the books' 2 exams, thanks guys!) I smashed this book against a brick wall until it was nothing but torn pages fluttering in the breeze. The binding held up well through the first several smashings, and stomping the separated pieces produced an enjoyable tearing sound.
