If you play around with a database while studying for the OCP it can help in that way. It will most likely get you past some HR folks but the more folks that get out there that have an OCP but only got the tests from memorization will start to give the OCP a bad name (ok for some of you out there, worse name). Then it will not get you even through the door. Your PL/SQL and SQL 2000 experience will probably be the bigger help in landing a junior position though (assuming that is actual work experience).   -----Original Message-----

  Does OCP really help? I am thinking about gettting OCP, yet still skeptical about it. I am a web engineer, and have very little dba "work" experience. I know PL/SQL and have worked with MS SQL 2000, mySQL, etc. And have been messing around with Oracle 9.02 on my linux box. also been studying with numerous oracle books. I am not really worried about getting OCP. What I am worrying about it that "will it really help me to get a job as Junior-level Oracle DBA?"

  Thanks.
