Thanks Robert... I must admit that I did see the 9i upgrade books appear earlier that they used to - I remember waiting quite a while for the 8i upgrade books to come out.
Thanks for the response...

>> Didn't cover all of the 9i upgrade material? Why not? 

Because the we wanted to get the book out as quickly as possible to the
Oracle community so they could start using the more important 9i New
Features ASAP. We were trying to be a first strike new features book (as
evidenced by the availability of the book some 3 months before Daniel's). 
The idea was to get fokls up to speed on the more important new features of
9i. In fact, as I recall, when I started writing the book, the 9i Upgrade
Exam wasn't yet available, but became available during the writing process.
I actually wanted to do the 9i Upgrade Exam cram for them, but they had
already contracted it out, and they agreed that this book was a good idea.

Didn't cover all of the 9i upgrade material? Why not? As one who is soon to
purchase some 9i upgrade preparation materials then I would be interested to
know the reasoning behind this (offline if necessary).

Are the missed topics from Robert's book covered in the book by Daniel
Benjamin?

Actually there were some specific reasons we *didn't* cover all the OCP
stuff in that book.
It's a long story....

Robert,

If you don't mind , both books are good as I passed my 9i upgarde with the
help of both books and I shall give credit to you and Daniel for writing
these books.  However, yours was the first one which I bought sometime in
Jan'2002 and his book was released end March, 2002.

Thanks again for your excellent effort. Now will wait for your book on Rman
as you already given the url for that.

Regards
Rafiq

Kieran - I haven't read it because I am still working out the 8i OCP tests,
but here is a link to a book by Robert Freeman, who participates on this
list. It has been recommended by other list members in the past.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to do the OCP upgrade exam from 8i to 9i (#1Z0-030 Oracle9i New
Features for Administrators).
Could anyone recommend some good reading material on the matter?
I see the Osbourne Book (by Daniel Benjamin) got some fairly mediocre
reviews.

Your opinions would be very much appreciated,
