Re: Oracle Certification question

Daniel,

   Why you're keep telling people to buy Oracle database software for personal use (or for educational perpose). You can download it from oracle for FREE, all you need is sign up a free OTN account.

   Do you think user group meeting is a nice place to start learning oracle or find a mentor??
