Re: Oracle - Free Training

Thank you very much, dear Arthur. That's news to me that I can appear OCP exam one off per month. I am sure I am not going to fail.

Another thing I noted that I can download Oracle 8i Personal edition freely from Oracle. Regarding domentation etc., let me start Oracle and I would be able
to attend class room training later.

I need to to do something to come out of the financial worries. I opted for Oracle DBA. This was a dream. I was thinking about a change for the last four year and I would like to work in USA and computer is the best thing which can reach me to USA.

Thank you once again for all your help. I am going to download Oracle 8i Personal
edition and start learning. Think big and you will difinitely earn big.
