Hi,
This is from a metalink note 1039341.6. It is about 'DEFAULT STORAGE'. I do not know if the OCP question was regarding that.
***
Use the following guidelines to specify DEFAULT STORAGE: Set INITIAL=NEXT.Since a process always writes data equal to SORT_AREA_SIZE to a temporary

Hi Prem
Comments in line.
Hi Richard ,
Many a thanx for both of your replies .
All my worry is : do such questions appear in the real exams also ?
Although there are certainly some dodgy questions and correspondingly suz
answers, I think you'll find the majority of the OCP exam will have

So in short Cary, you have a fair to average chance of passing the
exams :)
that's Ok for Cary, what about us mere mortals?;-)

Hi List, this is the question .
You are calculating the proper size for a temporary tablespace .
Which of the following are two most important factors to consider ?
A. users
B. sort_area_size
C. type of tablespace management
D.
Hi again Prem,
OK, I've changed my opinion of dear Boson. At first I simply thought they
had no idea, now I suspect it's all a big joke designed to make DBAs have a
bit of a giggle on warm summer nights ...
Sizing the temp tablespace by the formula you've given is really quite
witty. Perhaps a
Hi Richard ,

And your reply has increased my self-confidence.

Well, you've certainly gotten a few decent replies. I've never used Boson so
I can't comment on their exams, I prefer going to Oracle Press. Anyway, sizing temp
is a combination of things many of which are black magic at best. Number of users is
an interesting variable to add, but

I think you've hit on something key here, and that is that
practice exams may not be reflective

Misconceptions, superstitions and myths are always useful to know
and believe in. They make people better socialized and the risk
of being burnt at stake as a heretic(metaphorically, of course)
is much lower.

I passed the 8 and 8i exams without having done any work in either
version, nor did I study for them. I used Jonathan's method of using

Wasn't it you, Cary, who got tought by his parents that every question has
two answers: The right one and the one the teacher wants to hear? And you
had to learn them both?
That's merely what OCP is about, I think. Get a certificate to get hired,

Yes, I was the one. I was just wondering whether the OCP performance
exam was really as bad as it used to be. I haven't seen it since
whatever the things were called back in the early 90s. From some of what
I've seen here, the answer is that yes it is the same. Not just
philosophically the same,
or from the other side: the right one, and the one pig-headed students are
convinced is right (even if you can incontrovertably demonstrate they are
wrong). Does that make three answers? or two answers with three labels?

Prem ,
OCP has nothing to do with knowledge and nothing to do with the real world.
So if you want to give OCP, forget what you know and humbly, play by its
rules.
Right now if your are serious about giving OCP exams then please
enable suspension of disbelief , don't ask why and just mug up the
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.
Its accurate, just useless.
I thought the architecture test wasn't bad at all. The 8i backup and
recovery one was
Hi all
I have a problem with a lot of the commentary on the OCP that I have read
here and elsewhere, especially that which focusses on specific questions and
the, ahem, 'product features' associated with them. My problem is this. To
me the OCP, or rather the OU courses and the associated revision
My guess would be that one could pass the exam just by working with Oracle
for a couple of years and comparing that to some practice questions, one
True. I took the beta OCP tests in 1997, with about 150 questions
per test. They were free at OOW, so it seemed like a good price.
