What for? Make the employer shell out another BIG bunch of notes? To get a piece of paper that says on that date and with that hardware one could perform a backup and a restore? What does that say about the ability to lead a group of developers, or design the strategy for database access or solve a really nasty performance problem without forcing re-development or re-tooling? Or any of a million other tasks truly knowledgeable people get asked to perform? No wonder TK doesn't want to talk about it: it's laughable, and he prides himself in being a serious expert. The single fact the masters was created is the perfect admission at long last the OCP was nothing but a sham. Everyone knows it, some just insist on continuing the good old PC stuff (go with the flow, let it ride, etc). It is the simple truth: its value as a "certification" was and always will be nill. That the masters is being sold as the new "be-all-end-all" is even more demeaning. > Chris > > -----Original Message----- > Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 10:20 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > > So, it's nothing like OCP where you get the certification when you spew out > certain amount of the green stuff?
