Hello,

I plan to take Oracle 8i DBA exams. I am wondering what study materials are the best for preparing the exams. Based on my online search, two set of books came to my mind: the first book is "Oracle Certified Professional DBA Certification Exam Guide by Jason Couchman(1156 pages)", and the second set is "OCP: Oracle8i DBA Certification Kit by Dawes, et al." which includes three books--
"OCP: Oracle8i DBA SQL and PL/SQL Study Guide- Exam 1Z0-001(544 pages)",
"OCP: Oracle8i DBA Architecture & Administration and Backup & Recovery Study
Guide- Exams 1Z0-023 and 1Z0-025(912 pages)", and
"OCP: Oracle8i DBA Performance Tuning and Network Administration Study
Guide- Exams 1Z0-024 and 1Z0-026(848 pages)"

Anybody has any suggestion that tells me which set of material is better?

BTW, I have serveral years' experience as a database application developer including Oracle database.

Thanks for any response.
