Currently Oracle DBA track is available for
3
versions of Oracle: 8i, 9i
& 10g. Both Oracle 8i
and Oracle 9i are equally popular in the
industry. So choosing the track depends mainly
on your personal preference and work
requirements.
Oracle has officially announced the
retirement
of Oracle8i DBA OCP track on December 31, 2004.
The aspirants preparing for the same will have
to complete the required core Oracle8i DBA exams
in this track by December 31, 2004. Those who
would have acquired this certification by then
will continue to retain their credential even
after the track expires. The retirement of exams
included in this track will not apply to the
other Oracle certifications in which they
appear.
If you are planning to go for 9i track, you have
an option of taking the Oracle 8i track first
and than take the upgrade exam for 9i
certification, or directly go for 9i
certification track. Choosing the first option
helps you get around Oracle's mandatory training
for 9i since OCPs in 8i are exempted from that
requirement. |
