i buy this book together with sybex's book and have passed the oca exam with 87% score (less than what i expected though). i found this book easier to read and understand compared to sybex's book, and the many-but-short chapters works better for me. if you could only choose one book to pass the 1Z0-042 exam then this is definitely the best choice. but don't forget to practise what you read (although the book makes it looks so simple), you'll remember more by trying each exercise in this book.added 5 feb 2007 :
i have just passed my ocp exam last month, still using this book and the ocp 10g certification kits. the good thing about this book is it resembles the training materials from oracle admin II a lot, because it is published by oracle press. but just as the title says, this is the best book to pass the exam only, you need other references and lots of practices if you really want to master the oracle database technology well. however it is still a good idea to get the oca/ocp first to get you fire up (and increase your value for employers), and then continue to explore the beauties of oracle database in your daily works. as before, if you could only get one book for your ocp exam, then get this book.
p.s. be aware that oracle globalization features (NLS) is now in the OCA exam instead of OCP, so the chapter structure for this book (and also sybex's book) need to be updated
