Hi all,

I attended the '9i intro to SQL' and '9i DBA fundamentals I' courses, so naturally I have a copy of the course materials for them. As I'm going for OCA DBA certification, I'm wondering whether it's worth buying Oracle's exam guides for these two exams, or whether the course materials will be sufficient to get me through.

I've read less-than-flattering things about the books - mostly that they contain many errors and that the sample questions don't accurately reflect the format of the exams. Is it worth getting these books? Are there any alternative books that you would recommend?

TIA
