the pl/sql exam is really bad too. It got worse from 8i to 9i. 10% of the exam was on DBMS_LOB and no other packages were touched? I had about 6-7 questions on parameter ordering.

The 8i backup and recovery one was 'ok' also. ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 12:19 PM > Yes, I was the one.
