Re: Intro to Oracle:SQL & PL/SQL class -HELP

Dear Bruce,

I would like to recommend the Oracle Certified Professional DBA Exam Guide. You will find the book for $99 at www.osborne.com. I am preparing for the Developer Exams. The Developer Exam Guide from Osborne is just fantastic. You will find it easy to understand. It should be the same with the DBA Exam Guide.

Check also this page for good study links http://home.wtal.de/dromas/orcllink.htm.

Greetings from Spain,
Carsten
