I agree with Helen on something related to self-realization. I believe if you are already a DBA, taking the test will be the best for your own self. Will help strengthen the confidence, make you realize your weak points, give a chance to explore areas that you may not usually deal with etc. But, just doing certification to start doing DBA work - I do not agree. On the other hand, for beginners, that may be a good starting point and even for those who come from another Database background, but know DBA processes very well.
