Final Review
This all-in-one study guide is one of the best ways to takle the 228
and 229 exam. But do not get fooled into believing you need a
book to pass the exam. Yes, get a MOC course, the book and pleanty
of exercise.
First have a look at the key contents above and these valuable features:
- Fully searchable book on CD expedites study and research.
- Real world, hands on labs and examples reinforce learning and
product practice.
- Practice test questions in each chapter test your understanding
of exam objectives.
- Includes Virtual Study Group software for online collaborative
study.
- Easy to use map of exam objectives facilitates quick access
for exam review.
Dave Perkovich is an experienced MCT. If you read his book
you get the feeling that this person really knows what it is all about.
I am quite sure that an Oracle certification is by far more difficult.
The Oracle Versions 7 & 8.x new a lot of "love" and constant
care. The SQL2000 systems need less power and are less
fussy or even greedy. You can run SQL2000 on a Pentium Celeron333
system in an environment supported by windows 2000 server.
You will understand how to make an installation a lasting success.
Don'T waste time bugfixing - do it right from the very beginning.
The only advice I can only give you as a DBA:
study hard - do not take any thing for granted!
