Brian, do you think the Oracle University eLearning FastTracks for Database Administrators is worth the $9300-$12000 and time, or will I be able to pass the 5 exams via the self-taught method. I have one year experience in Oracle 7.x. I created databases, tablespaces, tables, indexes, views, triggers, etc. I really enjoyed using the data dictionary extensively. I even used the now defunct PowerObjects rather successfully. I used Oracle Developer 2000 and Oracle Designer (I think that is what it was called). Unfortunately I have been away from Oracle for about 2 years working on an antiquated system that was "supposed" to migrate to Oracle. I wish to get my skills up to par ASAP so that I can further my career and not stagnate. Received on Wed Jun 07 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
