Summary: Complete waste of money
Review: This book contains 130 pages and if the font size were normal it would have been around 30 pages. I read this book in less than 15 Mins and I have not learned anything new.
The book has 5 chapters which basically can be classified in three parts
Part 1
Explains the Oracle Certification in which can be viewed on the Oracle Web site.
Part 2
Decorum - How you present yourself at an interview
Part 3
Basic questions on Oracle
Eg - what is the password for Scott user and System?
- Describe the difference between a procedure and a function
- How do you select the date from sqlplus?

Summary: Good book for managers and candidates
Review: This book forms a good foundation for the manager to understand the Oracle candidate and a good source for practice questions for an Oracle candidate. Is it the ultimate, final source on all things that can be asked or should be asked? No, but it doesn't pretend to be. The questions are ones I have used and have been asked on many interviews and that alone makes it worth the price.

Summary: Helpful Oracle DBA Hiring Guide for IT Managers
Review: This book is a great help to me as an IT manager that lacks knowledge of Oracle but routinely needs to hire Oracle DBAs. The questions and answers are particularly helpful in the interview process. Selecting technical professionals has always been difficult when I lack the familiarity with the technology to parse between the experienced applicants and those who simply throw around buzz words and catch phrases. Using this text I can grade the applicants and weed out the inexperienced ones.
