Negative Positive
Title: Not useful at all
Review: I just returned from taking the Performance tuning exam and failed miserably, using this as the primary source of studying. An hour before taking the exam, I scored 95% on the exams in the book (each chap and final overall exam), meaning I thought I digested all of the information from the book.I think there were about 5 or 6 questions (out of 57) from the Oracle exam that I could attribute to this book, and another 5 or so that I could deduce from the information contained in the book.I'm not sure if the Oracle exam has changed drastically from when this was first published, but this book, at least for the Performance tuning was a waste of time.In addition, the CD that comes with the book and supposed to contain practice exams DID NOT WORK. It only had 1 exam, and you're supposed to be able to specify a number of questions for exam, and no matter the number of questions, it repeated the first question over and over
Is the review positive or negative?
