So we have to take two advanced Oracle courses...  

I have a bad feeling that the Oracle Internals Seminars by Scott Gossett
don't count.

Would that be correct?  They are not part of the OCP tracks.

I've taken those for 8i. Scott  is a great guy and the course is excellent.

RE: Re: Who are certified Oracle Masters?

2003-12-17 Thread Pete Sharman
That's correct.  I believe the reasoning is that the advanced courses
(listed below) that are included have to include hands on.  The
Internals seminars are not hands on.  As a couple of asides, Scott is
not the only instructor who runs those internals seminars, and I'm not
even sure if he's running them now as he's moved into Advanced
Technology Solutions in Oracle Consulting.

The advanced courses listed in the OCM description fall into the
following categories:

Database Applications 
 
Advanced PL/SQL 
Oracle9i: Program with PL/SQL 
Oracle9i: Advanced PL/SQL 
Oracle9i: Implement Advanced Queuing 
 
Performance Management
 
Oracle9i: SQL Tuning Workshop 
Oracle8i: SQL Statement Tuning Workshop 
Oracle9i Database: Advanced Instance Tuning 
 
Advanced Networking and Replication 
 
Oracle Net Services: Advanced Administration 
Oracle9i Database: Advanced Replication 
Oracle8i Distributed Systems Part 2: Advanced Replication 
Administering the Oracle Internet Directory 
 
Database and Data Management 
 
Oracle Enterprise Manager 9i 
Managing Oracle on Linux 
Oracle9i Database: Implementing Oracle Streams 
 
Advanced Oracle Security 
 
Oracle9i Database: Security 
 
High Availability 
 
Oracle 9i: Data Guard Administration 
Oracle8i: Parallel Server Implementation 
Oracle9i: Real Application Clusters 
Oracle9i Database: Advanced Backup and Recovery using RMAN 
 
Data Warehouse and Large Scale Databases 
 
Oracle9i: Data Warehouse Administration 
Oracle9i Database: Implement Partitioning

DC area is insanely expensive. you can spend $300,000 for a condo. Traffic is very bad 
also and getting worse. 

it doesnt get 'affordable' until you get up to frederick or in virginia near manassas 
or west of leesburg. 

with all the government money and the private sector IT stuff in free fall, people are 
going to keep coming here so prices will continue to go up. 

property taxes on long island i believe are higher. I think Reston is 1.1% of property 
value? Im going to buy a place their next year. However, you also have to pay about 
$500 a year to use the pools, etc...(its not optional). 

if its more than that let me know...

  Hi Robert,
 
  That's all very interesting.
 
  The various press releases at the time (e.g.
  http://www.dulcian.com/PRESS%20RELEASE_OCM.htm) all suggest that the 6
best
  Oracle experts in the world were handed these prestigious awards. Even
the
  TUSC website only makes mention of these awards being handed to Mr
Niemiec.
 
  If he indeed actually took and passed the practical exam in person, and
if
  obtaining OCM status is as prestigious as the marketing makes it out to
be,
  then I would recommend Mr Niemiec perhaps promote his hands-on
involvement
  a little more (rather than the handed hands-off bit) as this I'm sure
all
  comes as news to many.
 
  It's actually a very brave thing to have done when you think about it.
It's
  a little bit like being given a brand new car as a present and saying
oh no
  no, I want to prove I can drive it first. It's all great if you pass
the
  driving test but if you were to fail, boy, would you look silly holding
  those car keys ;)
 
  Did he have any such reservations ?
 
  Cheers
 
  Richard

IIRC, Tanel did the OCM as well, but I suspect most of the others on
your list aren't prepared to waste their time attending OCP exams
and
courses just so they can get the OCM.  :)
   
There were some honorary OCM's announced when the program first
   started
(OOW2002?).  From memory, Rich Niemic and Jeremiah Wilton are the
only
names that spring to mind from that group.

  Hi Robert,
 
  That's all very interesting.
 
  The various press releases at the time (e.g.
  http://www.dulcian.com/PRESS%20RELEASE_OCM.htm) all suggest that the
6
best
  Oracle experts in the world were handed these prestigious awards.
Even
the
  TUSC website only makes mention of these awards being handed to Mr
Niemiec.
 
  If he indeed actually took and passed the practical exam in person,
and
if
  obtaining OCM status is as prestigious as the marketing makes it out
to
be,
  then I would recommend Mr Niemiec perhaps promote his hands-on
involvement
  a little more (rather than the handed hands-off bit) as this I'm
sure
all
  comes as news to many.
 
  It's actually a very brave thing to have done when you think about
it.
It's
  a little bit like being given a brand new car as a present and
saying
oh no
  no, I want to prove I can drive it first. It's all great if you
pass
the
  driving test but if you were to fail, boy, would you look silly
holding
  those car keys ;)
 
  Did he have any such reservations ?
 
  Cheers
 
  Richard

Right after he hands out the exam he slams his staff to the floor and screams

I'm looking forward to the midnight showing of LOTR - ROTK tomorrow night.

The OCM program was actually in its early testing phase at the time we
got them.  So in fact, the honorary OCMs are actually OCMBs: Oracle
Certified Master Betas. :-) (Please don't kick me off the list!)

The best thing I did with my OCM was get a visa to work in the UK, as
I posess no other official qualifications that come close to the
requirements.

As for the bullfrog thing, my parents were made to believe that nobody
would remember that song after 1973, and that I would not endure a
life of people singing Joy to the World.  Admittedly, this thread was
the first time anyone has actually done it to me by email.  Am I a
bullfrog?  Find me and see for yourself.  Or you can hire me.  I
charge $15/hour for home repairs and construction, and $250/hour to
open the database you trashed by accident.  No free Oracle advice at
the $15 rate.

After 6.5 years, I have parted ways with Amazon, and am now doing
stuff like tiling and home repairs for the still-employed DBAs.
Thinking about moving to Madison WI or Iowa City.  Anyone here from
either of those places?  I want to start an organic farm.  Anyway
contact me off list or on the OT list if you can give input on either
of those two cities.

 You really had to expose your self to get the shaft as you so
stated. I just have to show up at work.
 Congratulation on receiving the certification and being recognized for

Apology accepted.  We had to do a lot of hard work to get those
superman-style crystal shafts.  Among the things we had to do the get
the shaft:

- Stand on a piece of masking tape on the stage
- Not make fun of the OCM program while we were getting the award
- Not make fun of any of the other honorary OCM recipients during the
presentation
- Act imporant and smarter than everyone else
- Hold up our shafts for a publicity photo

The OCM program was actually in its early testing phase at the time we
got them.  So in fact, the honorary OCMs are actually OCMBs: Oracle
Certified Master Betas. :-) (Please don't kick me off the list!)

The best thing I did with my OCM was get a visa to work in the UK, as
I posess no other official qualifications that come close to the
requirements.

As for the bullfrog thing, my parents were made to believe that nobody
would remember that song after 1973, and that I would not endure a
life of people singing Joy to the World.  Admittedly, this thread was
the first time anyone has actually done it to me by email.  Am I a
bullfrog?  Find me and see for yourself.  Or you can hire me.  I
charge $15/hour for home repairs and construction, and $250/hour to
open the database you trashed by accident.  No free Oracle advice at
the $15 rate.

After 6.5 years, I have parted ways with Amazon, and am now doing
stuff like tiling and home repairs for the still-employed DBAs.
Thinking about moving to Madison WI or Iowa City.  Anyone here from
either of those places?  I want to start an organic farm.  Anyway
contact me off list or on the OT list if you can give input on either
of those two cities.

 Hi Robert,
 
 That's all very interesting.
 
 The various press releases at the time (e.g.
 http://www.dulcian.com/PRESS%20RELEASE_OCM.htm) all suggest that the 6 best
 Oracle experts in the world were handed these prestigious awards. Even the
 TUSC website only makes mention of these awards being handed to Mr Niemiec.
 
 If he indeed actually took and passed the practical exam in person, and if
 obtaining OCM status is as prestigious as the marketing makes it out to be,
 then I would recommend Mr Niemiec perhaps promote his hands-on involvement
 a little more (rather than the handed hands-off bit) as this I'm sure all
 comes as news to many.
 
 It's actually a very brave thing to have done when you think about it. It's
 a little bit like being given a brand new car as a present and saying oh no
 no, I want to prove I can drive it first. It's all great if you pass the
 driving test but if you were to fail, boy, would you look silly holding
 those car keys ;)
 
 Did he have any such reservations ?
 
 Cheers
 
 Richard

No idea how many there are at this stage.  I'd suspect less than 100,
and possibly even less than 50 at this stage.

As for helping in get work, I haven't changed my job since I got it, but
that really wasn't why I did it anyway.  I did mine as one of the beta
testers, so my reasons for doing it were:

1.  Validation of the practicum itself
2.  Checking for my own interest to see if this was a real test of your
knowledge rather than a your ability to read a book and memorize it.

I know only of Pete Sharman. Who are other Oracle Certified Masters on
this group? I suspect Tanel to be one, as well as Steve Adams, Cary
Millsap,
Mogens Norgaard, Anjo Kolk, Wolfgang Breitling, Gaja V. and Kirti
Deshpande. 
Am I correct?

Re: RE: Who are certified Oracle Masters?

2003-12-11 Thread Tanel Poder
Yup, I managed to pass it in december 2002 and I'd say it has been quite useful for an 
unknown consultant from nowhere like me.

But I agree with you, other guys mentioned here don't need any certificate to prove 
their mastership. They are way over any current or future certification anyway...

Re: Who are certified Oracle Masters?

2003-12-11 Thread Wolfgang Breitling
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'm not an OCM.

In order to pass, I am lacking a few vital pieces (in increasing severity)

a) $$
b) time
c) knowledge
My knowledge and interest is rather limited to tuning and the CBO.

I believe Tanel is, according to credentials listed on the slides of his 
10g presentation.

Oh, and I forgot.  No, the honorary OCM's didn't have to take the test.
They were given the OCM in recognition of their contributions to the
Oracle world as a whole.  Actually, some of them I'd never heard of
before either, so that probably explains why I can't recall who they are
now.

Last I heard, Jeremiah was at Amazon.  He occasionally posts answers on

a) I have his name wrong

 IIRC, Tanel did the OCM as well, but I suspect most of the others on
 your list aren't prepared to waste their time attending OCP exams and
 courses just so they can get the OCM.  :)

 There were some honorary OCM's announced when the program first
started
 (OOW2002?).  From memory, Rich Niemic and Jeremiah Wilton are the only
 names that spring to mind from that group.

 I know only of Pete Sharman. Who are other Oracle Certified Masters on
 this group? I suspect Tanel to be one, as well as Steve Adams, Cary
 Millsap,
 Mogens Norgaard, Anjo Kolk, Wolfgang Breitling, Gaja V. and Kirti
 Deshpande.
 Am I correct?

RE: Who are certified Oracle Masters?

2003-12-11 Thread Cary Millsap
I owe an apology whether I'm correct or not, because (1) I didn't really
*know* the answer (only what I've heard), and (2) it's really none of my
business anyway. So... even if my speculation were correct, all I've
done here is to propagate a rumor, which is what I'm trying to live my
professional life to teach people NOT to do.

So, to the list, and to Rich, please accept my apology.
