hello all,

I am in the course of taking my certif for 7.3 w/ the 8.0 upgrade and wanted to inquire re: resources and/or studygroups. There was an earlier post in this newsgroups re: URL: http://www.networkessentials.com/certified/ocp which is great however I would not mind more info, especially some ways of interacting/asking qq's.

Some of my initial questions are (I am now taking the DB Admin test through Sylvan Prometric):

--what is the exam difference between 7.3 and 8.0!?

I have been studying off of the DBA Certification Exam Guide of Jason Couchman which seems to be great & the Exam Cram Series (Test 1 and 2). Two issues which I found a bit nagging: those formulas for determining the rows/block, row counts etc etc.... stressed very much in the DBA Cert book; secondly the very much stressed on command line parameters in the Exam Cram book. Are these two sections crucial to the exam? I even bought the Transcender questions and they do not stress the row/block counts much at all. Yes, they do somewhat on the command line params.

Any suggestions?

Thank you v. much for your help,
