Don't jump too fast. I write book reviews from time to time for Oracle Magazine and others. If I were in a waiting room with time to kill I might well be reading one of my to-be-reviewed books, and DBA for Dummies might be one of them.
On a slightly related note, I never bothered to take the Oracle 8i (or was it 8.0?) OCP exam ... because I helped proof read all the questions and answers. So, my lack of the 8[i] OCP credential is not necessarily indicative of a lack of knowledge. But I do understand your point. -Tom --- orantdba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Just a funny little story, one day I was interviewing some > consultants > that had been recommended by a rather large (nameless) consultancy. > The > administrative assistant indicated that my next interviewee was in > the > waiting room.
