If you have a look at the AD OCP guide you will find that it is completely
unrelated to VB and Java - at least the one I bought a couple of months ago.
Starts with SQL,PL/SQL, triggers, stored procedures, dependencies etc. and
then the second half of the book is on using Oracle Forms and Reports.
Certainly these are not the only tools for building applications that run
off an Oracle database, but for the shops where that is what they do, VB and
Java skills are not going to be very useful.
