Title: RE: OCP tests

Hi John,

 

Thanks so much for ur reply. I visited ur website and had a good idea of what to look for

towards preparing the exam and how to go about it. Also, the treatment of Logminer was

very useful for me too.

I do not much experience in PL/SQL too.......in our setup, they r mostly considered as a

developer's job and I hardly have to actually write long and complicated programs and the

most I do is write a trigger or procedure here and there to help me with my DBA work. I guess

I will face a hard time passing this part of the exam as well.

I will b appearing for the 8i exams as I have mostly worked with 8i in my 4 years of experience

as a DBA.

My company will reimburse the cost of the exams too but only if I pass it :).

I will b starting off preparing for the exams early next year, so I guess I will b appearing for the

first exam (which of course will be the DBA Admin exam) some time in March or April......I have to

find a convenient centre too since I am based in Nottingham.

I will get the exam crams from Amazon but the 8i exam crams r not readily available on Amazon at the

moment.

 

Thanks again and I will let u know how I get along......am not really nervous about it but I find it hard to find time

to actually sit down and study specially for an exam of this nature....but I will have to manage somehow.....wish

luck !!

Hi Samir,
I think the Exam Cram books from Coriolus are OK. They do not cover everything, they are slightly inaccurate sometimes but they compress and summarise what you need and they are relatively cheap (�21 UKP) compared with others.

I have an article on my web site http://www.hcresources.co.uk which covers my foray into the OCP world. You may find it interesting (there again you may not... ). There are lots of resources on the web which are useful.The brainbuzz site has some good stuff as well in the cramsession pages http://wwww.brainbuzz.com
