Its sad that for the 11g OCP DBA Upgrade Exam prep - this book stands alone. Unfortunately, its not because of greatness but rather - it just stands alone because there are no other 'books' on this exam available. Sybex did a brilliant job for their 10g OCP DBA upgrade but they have not published anything for this exam.
That said - I did use this book to prepare for my exam together with Kaplan Self Test Software preparation reading material and did Ace the test...which incidentally for those who have ever done these exams will know it is never easy !
The good thing is that - while there are typically errors - there does exist an errata for most of these and while it is truly annoying you can work through it. What I found most annoying was that some of the the books own questions have the wrong answer ! And when you're learning new things - the only thing worse than no documentation is incorrect documentation - particularly on a quiz that is intended to test your understanding - and your answer is correct - you double check that with independent references and find that the books answer is wrong !
Again - since it's the only reference out there - it is still a valuable time saver and can be very useful to get you through this exam.
On the topic of New features for DBAs for 11g there are other books available one in particular also from Apress by the same author Sam R. Alapati and Charles Kim that is a lot better edited and also rather useful for preparation for this exam...should you have the time to read both - that is ideal (recommended) but again time consuming.
