I would disagree. I have been using Oracle for 2 years in a production setting, and yet, when I started studying the OCP review guide: it's mostly memorization! Granted, I have learned some things that I did not know before, but the fact that I have been able to competently manage a production system for so long without that info means that.. the certification does not REALLY measure real-world skill. It's only useful I guess if you don't have any experience to show, as a sort of substitute QUALIFICATION. Getting a certification is NOT a substitute for experience per se, but a substitute qualification. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
