Ron, I have one DBA lined up to ask that same question for the next 6 months for that very purpose. I have an opening on September 27th, would you like to take it??
My personal rule is that I don't just fashion a message that will shamelessly plug my book, in and of itself. For example I would never post a message here that says: Hey buy my Oracle9i New Features book by Oracle Press and my Mastering Oracle8i book by Sybex and also buy my Oracle 8 to 8i Upgrade Exam Cram book by Coriolis and finally you can also get my Oracle 7.3 to 8 Upgrade Exam Cram book by Coriolis as well!!!! I'd never do a shameless plug like that, ever. But to help someone, well then I will gladly offer the services of my hard work. And I've said it before and I'll say it again, to anyone, if you don't like the book after you buy it, please return it and get your money back. If you like it, please do let me know... (and a nice word on Amazon or bookpool is always appreciated!) RF Robert G.

Did you ask Ashoke to post the message so there could be some saving grace distributed for the 9i upgrade shortcomings?. Yes, I have the book and find it very informative. It is nice to know that there is an 8i to 9i upgrade book available. I have not see it in my local bookstore yet, of course my locat bookstore has not replace the copy of Oracle Perfomace Tuning 101 yet either. I don't think I will need it for a while because we are not scheduled to upgrade until late 2003. Ashoke, the information needed to assist in upgrading your OCP from 8 to 8i is in the book and on other documentation. Read and understand the source information and practice on a database. When you are confident with your knowledge review the information and schedule the exam. Remember, the exam is not A, or B, or C, or D the answers will test your conceptual knowledge and the answers will most likely be A,B, and D.
