Hi,
Along w/ those things mentioned you may consider taking a relational
database class like at a local JC or State University. I am in Southern
California and took extension classes at Cal State Fullerton(am continuing
to do so as well) and though I had taken prior classes, am enjoying them
thoroughly. I am taking one on PL/SQL programming now and plan on taking
part two of five of the OCP Developer track exams later this year. I passed
OCP 1 last month. This reply is w/ not knowing whether you want to be a DBA
or Developer but the basics for the OCP are the same. Also, I am not sure
what your past experience is; mine is only classroom.
