Just what you need to do the job, 2003-04-26
I found this book to be an excellent upgrade guide with just the right emphasys on the new features and still maintains good integration with general Oracle theory. Easy to read and few errors.
One warning, expect the real exam to be much more difficult than the book's questions.
I read this guide three times and passed the exam with 80%.

This book is excellent, true to the contents, 2003-03-08
I did my 8.0 upgrade exam about 3 yrs ago, and I was rusty, really rusty. This book gave me everything I need to know, not just to pass the test,but also the professional knowledge gained is great.
The contents were well organised, and the practic test really geared me up for the real test.
Will recommend this is all you need to pass the exam, one time!!!.

I've just passed the test. That was the only exam preparation book I used to get prepared. Yes, a few questions from the real test were not covered BUT this book has everything you need to PASS. Excellent tutorial!

This is the best material for the upgrade exam available in the market.I have studied this book and gone through a couple of chapters in the Oracle manual, I scored 92% in the exam. Need I say more!! Once again, THE BEST for the exam.

shooting at a moving target, 2002-01-26
As the author, I want to address some comments made here about the book. First, it is true that there is some material on the 8 to 8i upgrade exam that is either not covered in the book, or is not covered in the depth that is required for the test. This is a result of at least one change to the exam during the creation of the book, and at least one significant change to the exam after the book was published. Also, the test covers a vast amount of new material, which makes prepping for it more difficult in my opinion.Yet, I think you will find that the book still covers a large majority of the relevant topics that you will find on the exam. I think that you will find that this book will help prepare you for the test, and you should be able to pass the exam if you know all the material presented in this book.... I also think you will find this book more readable than other books out there. Finally, Supplemental reading and test exams can also help prepare you for the exam.
I hope that you enjoy the book and pass the exam with flying colors!
