Check out the Exam Cram series by Mike Ault from Coriolis Publishing
at www.coriolis.com also available at amazon.com. There are two books in
the series and each covers two exams (DBA track only). Book 1 covers
SQL&PL/SQL + DB admin exam. Book 2 covers Backup/Recovery and
Performance tuning exams.
Oracle press also has a book by Jason Couchman which covers all four
exams.
