Need help regarding which book to follow for Oracle's 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-147 exams.

Throw some light on how to approach for the preparation.

And your kind suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks,

The OCP Instructors guide is a good start:

OCP Instructors Guide from Amazon

And you can always take a look at the ExamCram guide:

ExamCram Certification Study Guide

If you can afford it, the Dawes and Thomas series is probably the most comprehensive:

OCP: Oracle9i Certification Kit

Good luck in your studies!

Cameron's first and third suggestion cover the full syllabus for Oracle 9i OCP DBA. Only the first exam (1Z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL) is common to the DBA and Developer tracks.

If money is an object, rather than buying the full Dawes and Thomas series you can just get the 1Z0-007 specific

OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide
http://www.amazon.com/OCA-OCP-Introduction-Oracle9i-Study/dp/0782140629/sr=1-3/qid=1163105812/ref=sr_1_3/102-7807081-6360143?ie=UTF8&s=books

You will still need a separate PL/SQL guide for 1Z0-147. After learning PL/SQL a good book for quizing your knowledge would be:

Oracle PL/SQL Developer's Workbook
by Steven Feuerstein
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Developers-Workbook/dp/1565926749/sr=1-2/qid=1163106400/ref=sr_1_2/102-7807081-6360143?ie=UTF8&s=books

Good Luck.
