Text of a previous email reply where I answer this question: What I would suggest is that you goto http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/objectives/index.html?dba9i_tc c.html and download the test objectives for the exam. In those objectives you will find each subject area that is contained in the test. You will find that I have covered most of the major ones (and those with the largest % of questions overall in the test). Some areas that I do not cover in the book that you will want to review are: (* indicate items that I know were on the exams of some and you will probably find at least 1 question on the * topics (but probably not more than that on most of them) )
* Workspace manager * resource manager improvements * Review new imp/exp features. I cover most if not all of them, but under different topic headers. Study up on the shared server stuff a bit more. * Benefits of core library improvements * OEM New features Advanced Replication new features - No reports that any question on this topic has ever appeared on a test, but it might. That's about it. I've had a number of folks write me and say they passed just using my book. I have not had *one* person write me having failed using my book, and then supplementing study with the exam objectives I mention above. Robert G.

It has been recommended by other list members in the past. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=0E2CIPD0W 9&isbn=0072223855 Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
