Re: Oracle8 Upgrade Certification

Most of the content in the version 8 upgrade exam I hear is from Oracle8 - Differences for Administrators class. The course content covers objects, partitioning, enhancements to networking, security, RMAN etc. I just attended the training. Some of the is syntax hard to remember, unless you are doing partitioning and objects etc..all the time

Have fun,
