Yes, I recently passed the Oracle DBO certification test for Windows NT (Test # 1Z0-401). I am now working as an Indepedent Contractor making $40.00 per hour. It is a very good move to try for this Certification; Start with buying the "Beginners Guide for Oracle 8.0" book and get a trail version of personal Oracle. The test is not that difficult. You can also get practice test from Self Test Software. You pass 1 test and you are a "Certified Oracle Professional". Received on Sun Feb 27 2000 - 11:59:23 CST
