Oracle8i DBA: Network Administration Exam Cram (Exam: 1Z0-026)

Rating:
Summary: Very Clear Explanations
Review: After reading tons of material for the Net Admin test, this book is by far well presented and easy to understand in all the main areas. Use it as an excellent review book. The exam prep questions, however, are not close to the real thing but good for learning anyway. Makes a good teaching supplement also.

Rating:
Summary: Ultimate Reference
Review: This is a good place to start learning about Oracle Networking. You will pass your exam if you rely only on this book, but to be comfortable, I strongly suggest you read the Oracle documentation and get practice tests. The practice test in the book was easier than the exam. This book will give you a good foundation, and good and detailed examples.

Review: With this book you will be able to pass 1Z0-026 exam. But if you want to pass it with score above 90% you should use other resources as well. There is a good reference list at the end of each chapter.
