Re: Re: Linux OR Solaris- Certification

MCSE is slightly better than worthless. Solaris is a higher end skillset that Linux. I have noticed a few jobs which are DBA/Unix Admin. These are generally smaller projects where they want you to wear multiple hats.

If you want to do one of your choices do the Solaris certification. However, make it clear to an employer that your expertise is DBA, and that you learned Solaris in order to make you a better DBA. If not they will think you are mediocre at both. Ive noticed that Unix info is about as endless as Oracle info. So its impossible to be truly specialized in both.

one point, if your not already experience in Oracle, these certifications dont help at all. They really only help experienced people go over the top.
