Dennis,
Thank you for this.
BTW, I like your signature. :-) I think it sums up quite a number of
us.
Best regards,

The story I got from an Oracle instructor was that somebody was
bragging
about how they passed the OCP without ever logging into Oracle. I guess
this
caused some consternation in Redwood Shores. The quickest fix was to
require
everyone to take one class. When I asked the instructor if that meant
that
all instructors were to ensure that each student logged into Oracle, he
just
smiled.

This is most likely the reason Oracle has now made it a requirement.
Otherwise, who would ever take a course?

Not really, most of DBA on this list did their OCP without any
Oracle formal
training. Use your experience on that version, study relevant
material or
available books/docs, do practice of STS test questions and then
you
are
pretty much ready for exam.
I did my OCP from 7. to 9i without attending and formal course
and
passed in
first attempt....

Rafiq

Does anyone other than Oracle truely believe that a course is
necessary if
you can pass the exam?

One may as well get used to putting forth some extra expenditure
when
getting certified now.
The publisher, Coriolis, went under.
And now Oracle is requiring that you complete at least one of
their
prep
courses (irrespective of whether you believe you need it or not)
in
order to become OCP-certified for 9i.

they are not outstanding. they are ok? They are also expensive.
I
have
found the Coriolis books to be better than the Osborne books in
quality.
They dont have 9i ones. you can get the 8.0/8i ones for $9/each
at
maryland-merchant.com
Im using those myself, then the docs. I didnt like the osborne
books.
