I hope not! Surely putting OCP on your CV should suggest you know something about Oracle. This is exactly the reason why I do not have any faith in certification
provided by the company selling the software. A few multi-choice questions do
not mean anything when you are faced with a production database that has just
lost contact with half the disks that store its data files because of a hardware
failure.
