Re: Seeking advice: Oracle9i OCP certification

Right let me get this straight!
What were looking for here is a candidiate with fifteen years experience in Oracle9i release 2, Oracle7 doesn't cut it because it doesn't have those fancy "E" numbers in it, and who now uses Oracle8i? Our candidate would preferably be under nineteen, cos anyone over nineteen tends to be in their twenties, or thirties or fourties or dribbles a lot. The data will be stored in the Oracle database until it reaches a complete screenfull, after which it should be transferred to a plastic box card index system; this would negate the need for using or learning those horrible init<THINGY>.ora number/script parma., parmaaa.. paramit parameats ........variables!
I realise this would entail a lot of writting, but hey! isn't that why were here?
