Better overall then Dawes and Thomas. This guy writes with experience. Where Dawes and Thomas is mostly a reprint of Oracle Documentation. Better in these areas: - User setup - Single row functions and Group functions. Far more detail on topics. The Book comes with electronic exam, that DOES NOT REQUIRE the CD always be inserted in your computer!!! Negative: Software does not run on a Mac, you will need virtualization software, like virtual PC to run, but it works.
Book, plus CD with tests, entire book in pdf!

As an experienced DBA, I found this book clear and concise. I especially like the accompanying CD with a PDF version of the entire book. I prefer to use an electronic search to find a page in a book, so this really is a bonus to me. The tests in the book and on the CD provide useful, informative explanations for all test questions -- one of the best ways I know to get prepared for the Oracle exams. I have taken the Intro to SQL exam for Oracle9i certification, and this book really does cover the contents of that exam thoroughly. It is an excellent study companion.
Great Job!

I am studying to become an Oracle DBA. Gavin Powell's Book is superb! I learned so much from it so far. The author is also friendly and really concerned whether you understand the difficult concepts that a newbiee faces in learning Oracle. Like a gem you unexpectantly find at the beach. Buy this book!
