Dan, and others
It is very useful to see how the top-notch people keep themselves up
to speed. But of course, any advice must be suited to the advisee. For
example, for some of us a little lower on the food chain, maybe acquiring
the OCP might be a first step. Now Peter isn't exactly a novice, but then he
didn't mention that he had the OCP, so I'm assuming not. I can see myself in
a future job interview (hopefully years from now) being asked "why don't you
have an OCP?". Of course, working on the OCP myself naturally makes me a
convert. Probably the only way to make it through. And while a lot of it is
just memorization, there have been a few things I learned from it.

I concur. I received incorrect information in the beginning DBA classes, but
the time spent in the 8i Data Server Internals Seminar with Scott Gossett
was incredibly valuable (and I paid for it and the travel to Bethesda
myself).
For my money, I would rather attend the top notch user group meetings and
attend sessions by Craig, Cary, Tim, Gaja. And spend time talking and
trading stories with my fellow DBAs. I'd rather learn from those in the
trenches.

not totally worthless, but the value of the class is directly related
to the quality of the instructor.
I have had the good fortune to take classes with several of the best of
Oracle instructors. I have also had the misfortune to take classes with
some of the "less best"
