Hi, What you need for the exam is solid understanding of Oracle architecture. Most of answers are on the surface, so when you think too deeply - double check that it's not really simple :) In particular make sure you know the general methodologies of tuning (from oracle perspective, to be precise). That's 30% of success. Couchman is very good for exam preparation. At least it was the only one I used.
Good luck! 8-) -- Alexandre ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 5:13 PM > Arslan - I'm hoping you get some good replies since I plan to take this exam > next. > > I just took the B&R last week.
