Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Real world OCP
I noticed that a lot of OCP questions deal with various things that I don't
get much experience on in the day to day. I don't do well with rote
memorization of fact, and prefer the hands on, learn it as it comes up
approach. Unfortunately, my supervisor has made passing the OCP a
performance item to be completed by my next review. So I need to study for
the OCP on top of everything else I am doing (No one has said anything
about paying or reimbursing me for the tests either). Also, I am sure the
test results don't reflect how well I am able to take care of our many
Oracle 6 database years after they were dropped from support. No GUI
interfaces or OEM tools there... everything is character mode... Even with
OEM and our new environments, when I have time, I prefer the old fashion
writing of the script. I don't want to know what button to push, I want to
know what happens when I push the button...
