While it does not cover 100% of the 9i OCP objectives (nor was it intended too), I think you will find it a good introductory guide to 9i and the new features you will need to know about. I also agree with others here that the STS tests are quite good. I'd take these two resources (and Daniels book really isn't as bad as part of an overall set of prep resources) and the Oracle documentation as my source material. Download the latest Oracle 9iNF test objectives available at education.oracle.com and prepare topic by topic as shown in the test objectives. RF Robert G.

How efficient of you.   -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 12:53 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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.
