It must have been either Scott Gossett or Scott Heisey. But not that 
Scott. The two other Scott's are still with Oracle Education, I think.

I have to agree on this.  I've had the good fortune to sit in on Lewis's
'Optimising Oracle' and Cary Millsap's 'Hotsos Clinic 101' and no course
I ever took from Oracle Education comes close to what these guys offer
(and I've taken quite a few).
 

The only course from Oracle Education that's come close for me is the 
internals course that I took about 3 or 4 years ago.  I haven't seen 
it offered recently.  The instructor was Scott somebody, who was, I 
was told, THE Scott or Scott/Tiger fame.

I second the recommendation for Jonathan Lewis; his Cost-Based 
Optimization course was well taught and I found it very useful.

Craig Shallahamer (www.orapub.com) also offers some worthwhile courses 
and is a very good instructor.

I'll find out about the Hotsos Clinic this August in Denver.  Looking 
forward to it.

Quite right.  It was Bruce Scott (didn't he do something at IOUG this
year?) and I believe Tiger is (or presumably was since this was so long
ago and the poor beastie has presumably karked it) his cat.

you find the classes (I took them with Scott for 8i) by searching the

They aren't given often and it's likely that travel will be necessary

Thanks for the correction, indeed a web search found the reference on

probably explaining that he wasn't that 'Scott', but I was not paying

Well that not too surprising.  Just about everything Scott does (he still
works with Oracle) is very, very good.  Most recent thing I've seen him
working on was the OCM exam, which no doubt explains why it was so hard!

I believe the Internals course morphed into a series of internal courses
(i.e. only Oracle staff can attend) that are three to five days long.  There
are now 8 of them.  They are also presented to customers as one day
seminars, by the same instructors that run the internal versions.  Not too
sure how you locate them, but they may be marketed with a course code
starting with DSI (Data Server Internals).

Totally agree. Make the pitch that this class alone could push your
skills
up to the next level. It is a real eye-opener. I'll bet it is much less
than
an Oracle Education class. As a bonus I think they usually let you use
their
tools for a month. Use your negotiating skills.

Totally agree. Make the pitch that this class alone could push your skills
up to the next level. It is a real eye-opener. I'll bet it is much less than
an Oracle Education class. As a bonus I think they usually let you use their
tools for a month. Use your negotiating skills.

I have to agree on this.  I've had the good fortune to sit in on Lewis's
'Optimising Oracle' and Cary Millsap's 'Hotsos Clinic 101' and no course
I ever took from Oracle Education comes close to what these guys offer
(and I've taken quite a few).
 

The only course from Oracle Education that's come close for me is the 
internals course that I took about 3 or 4 years ago.  I haven't seen it 
offered recently.  The instructor was Scott somebody, who was, I was 
told, THE Scott or Scott/Tiger fame.

I second the recommendation for Jonathan Lewis; his Cost-Based 
Optimization course was well taught and I found it very useful.

Craig Shallahamer (www.orapub.com) also offers some worthwhile courses 
and is a very good instructor.

I'll find out about the Hotsos Clinic this August in Denver.  Looking 
forward to it.

IIRC = if I remember correctly.
Yes, you have just to sit at these courses. They are not really advanced
courses, especially when the instructor doesn't know, what's he talking
about. That's why I put advanced in double quotes. If you want real advanced
courses, go with Data Server Internals or seminars what Jonathan Lewis or
guys at his level provide.

Re: Re: 9i OCP Details

2003-06-25 Thread Tanel Poder
Hi!

There was about 25 OCMs before I took the exam in Dec 2002. Now there's 50
IIRC.

At least then the requirements were:
Had to be 9i OCP.
Had to pass 2 "advanced" courses, I took Advanced PL/SQL and RAC.
Had to pass 2 day practicum. Sh*t, this was hard, but I'm glad about it,
that shows OCM actually is worth something.
There is a description in OCM website about the tasks. Anyway, when going,
refresh your recovery skills ;)

It did cost me about $5000 (from my own pocket). I had to travel to Chicago
from other side of the globe, because they didn't take tests in Europe then
(it might be the case now as well). If anyone asks was it worth the money -
I would have spent the money on other stupidities anyway ;)

Cheers,
Tanel.

RE: 9i OCP Details

2003-06-25 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
The story I heard from one of the senior Oracle Education Instructors was
that some jerks completed the OCP and then bragged about how they had done
it without ever logging into Oracle. So Oracle added the requirement to
complete a course. I asked the instructor, "so you guys are going to ensure
nobody gets out of your class without logging in?". My reply was a sly grin.

You'll want to verify this on otn.oracle.com, but it SEEMS (I stress
seems because this is the way I understand it.) that as of sometime last
year (September maybe), if one starts the 9i track with no prior exams
there is an in-class training requirement which must be met.  However,
if you already had your 8i, you could simply take the 9i upgrade with no
classroom obligation.
It's been a while since I read the note on this, but my recollection is
that there was no restriction defined on doing it that way, meaning I
think you could possibly still do the 8i track, then 9i upgrade and
avoid the expensive classroom requirement.

If it is not this way, someone please correct me as I've already
steered one person wrong by encouraging him to complete the 8i track (he
has taken the 8i Admin exam already).

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/25/03 12:29PM >>>
Senthil
   So, if I understand your question correctly, you are asking whether
you
should:
1. Take the 8i exams, then the 9i upgrade exam.
2. Take the 9i exams.
This will depend to some extent on your background, whether you still
work
with 8i. Whether you can get your manager to spring for a class or
two.

   Myself, I started this path over a year ago (slow learner). At that
time
since the 9i study materials weren't readily available, and I still
work
with 8i a lot, I chose to go the 8i route. 
   If I were to start today, I think I would just go the 9i route. I
expect
soon Oracle will announce that in 6 months the 8i path will be closed.
This
has already happened with Oracle 8.

Hi Group,

I wanted to do my 9i OCP. I have not taken any of the 8i OCP exams.
To do 9i Exams directly I need to attend module 3 or 4 or New features

from any of the Oracle Edu Partners.
Shall I take 9i New features and go ahead with the 9i exams.

Suggestion are appreciated.

Thanks

  Hi Senthil,
   
  I am in the same boat as you.  I have worked with Oracle for about 7 
  years but am finally getting going on my OCP work.  Since all of the 
  older Oracle Ed. courses I took are no longer valid, I will probably submit to 
  the New Features Course as well.  You can take all of the exams first, 
  but my understanding is that Oracle won't issue you the actual certification 
  until you've taken one of their authorized classes.
   
  I personally see no reason to certify for 8i even though I work with both 
  8i and 9i databases.   HTH

  Re: 9i OCP Details
  Hi Senthil,
   
  I am in the same boat as you.  I have worked with Oracle for about 7 
  years but am finally getting going on my OCP work.  Since all of the 
  older Oracle Ed. courses I took are no longer valid, I will probably submit to 
  the New Features Course as well.  You can take all of the exams first, 
  but my understanding is that Oracle won't issue you the actual certification 
  until you've taken one of their authorized classes.
   
  I personally see no reason to certify for 8i even though I work with both 
  8i and 9i databases.   HTH

Hi!

If you're getting this OCP to look more appealing to employers, I'd go with
8i first, then upgrade to 9i.
On resume it looks better, you seem more like old-timer that way ;)

Tanel.
OCP 8,8i,9i, OCM.

RE: 9i OCP Details

2003-06-25 Thread Darrell Landrum
You'll want to verify this on otn.oracle.com, but it SEEMS (I stress
seems because this is the way I understand it.) that as of sometime last
year (September maybe), if one starts the 9i track with no prior exams
there is an in-class training requirement which must be met.  However,
if you already had your 8i, you could simply take the 9i upgrade with no
classroom obligation.
It's been a while since I read the note on this, but my recollection is
that there was no restriction defined on doing it that way, meaning I
think you could possibly still do the 8i track, then 9i upgrade and
avoid the expensive classroom requirement.

If it is not this way, someone please correct me as I've already
steered one person wrong by encouraging him to complete the 8i track (he
has taken the 8i Admin exam already).

   So, if I understand your question correctly, you are asking whether
you
should:
1. Take the 8i exams, then the 9i upgrade exam.
2. Take the 9i exams.
This will depend to some extent on your background, whether you still
work
with 8i. Whether you can get your manager to spring for a class or
two.

   Myself, I started this path over a year ago (slow learner). At that
time
since the 9i study materials weren't readily available, and I still
work
with 8i a lot, I chose to go the 8i route. 
   If I were to start today, I think I would just go the 9i route. I
expect
soon Oracle will announce that in 6 months the 8i path will be closed.
This
has already happened with Oracle 8.
