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.

  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.

   to get OCM you need to
  
   take 2 advanced classes
   then pass an all day comprehensive hands on test right?
  
   what do they have you do for that test? i heard there are different
 OCMs?
  btw, how much does it all cost?

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

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

 The only course from Oracle Education that's come close for me is the

 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

don't know about that.  but if you take and pass the 9i upgrade exam (and
you currently hold an 8i certif) , nothing else is needed.  you get your 9i
certif.

to get OCM you need to

take 2 advanced classes
then pass an all day comprehensive hands on test right?

what do they have you do for that test? i heard there are different OCMs?
btw, how much does it all cost?

 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 ;)

 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
  Senthil.

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.
