hi, all,
I decide to pass my OCP DBA in two months. But I do not if I directly choose Oracle8i test package or choose Oracle8 test package and then have a Oracle8i new features test.
One of my friend said this to me:
Let me tell you why it is not good to do oracle 8i at the moment.
1. It will cost you a lot since no one has the stuff for oracle 8i and is
selling it on the net.
2. the market will not revert to oracle 8i before a couple of years,
because mosst companies recently migrated from oracle 7.3 to oracle 8
3. if you do oracle 8 and give the upgrade exam you will have two
certification. oracle 8 dba and 8i dba.
I am afraid I could hardly get Exam crams about Oracle8i at this time. Maybe
I should first pass the Oracle8 and then pass the upgrate test.
But someone tell me one must pass the upgrate test in 6 months from the day
the new version was coming up. Which mean if Oracle8i was coming up on
01/01/00, I have to pass the upgrate test from Oracle8 to Oracle8i before
07/01/00. That mean I could not the upgrate test.....I am so
confused....help me!
What is your all 's suggestion? Please give me a reply. Your reply will be
fully appreciated.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely, Xiaoliang Chen
