I don't like certification, I prefer to read it, I never studied programming, but I work and have a good position as programmer and designer.

But on oracle 7 we couldn't solve our problems,so I decided to certify as a previous step before thinking to migrate to sqlserver.
The ocp certification really helped me, it was the ocp certification plus tom kyte who helped me to solve my problems of performance.

If I certify is not because this makes me know all that I need, but this is really a good point it helps me to keep important concepts I could miss and forces me to memorize some basic concepts, I like it.

Now if there is people who only study to certify and don't have some curiosity to learn more reading other materials, this is other topic.

"If you are a dba who likes to read, and you get the certification you get benefited from it, and I'm not talking about certification I'm talking about a better understanding and confidence"

For me is important and I'm going to certify, and if there would be a certification for enterprise edition features, advanced plsql function (really advanced functions), etc. I would try to get certified because I find it positive for my performance as dba.
