What exactly does it provide? The two examples you quoted are also available in 8i...
See? This is what I mean by being trained for the specifics of one
particular version.
You are not learning ANYTHING to do with relational database or its use.
You are learning the specifics of one version of a piece of software.
And assuming that what you have been told is part of 9i is the be-all-
and-end-all of Oracle.
Wrong.

Your boss will never blame you for anything technical. It has *nothing*
to do with the relative value of OCP or any other technical
"certification".
And if he/she thinks that it's good value to send you on a 9i OCP to
learn the specifics of 9i instead of just putting you through one of
Oracle's "Differences" courses...
