Even more damn, since they're still available out there but I'm not getting
any money from them.  :(

Pete,


I used the Coriolis books to pass the 8 exams and the 8i upgrade exam -  and
then they went out of business  - damm 



Dennis,


I think the networking exam was not too bad actually Dennis. As you  say
there are a lot of set up s that people have not come across but none of it
is that diificult. From what I remember of the exam there seemed to be a lot
of question re how do you put tracing on , which files need editing and
where does the output go



Good luck



John

Of course, the best path to studying for the Admin exam is the Coriolis
book, Oracle8i Architecture and Administration Exam Cram by that well known
author, Peter Sharman.  :)

Thanks Scott. I decided to take the 8i path because the study materials were
more readily available, so after I complete the remaining modules, I will
need to turn around and do the 9i upgrade. Probably complete it just in time
to do the 10i upgrade. :-)


   So far, I've taken:



    
  
  1.   Backup & Recovery. I did this to force myself to learn RMAN (Robert's
book wasn't out yet. Tough because most of us (if we're lucky) don't do
recovery much. 2. Performance Tuning. Not as bad because I've studied tuning
quite a bit over the years. But still a lot of material. 3. SQL & PL/SQL was
yesterday's exam. I found the SQL parts easy because I've done quite a bit
of SQL over the years. But I've done very little with PL/SQL, so that was
more difficult.






Everybody tells me the Admin exam isn't very bad for experienced DBAs. I'm
considering a quick brush-up and take that one before summer. That would
leave me with networking and everybody says that is hard because most of us
have little network background. 



My experience with the 9i Upgrade is that the material isn't difficult, but
there is just a LOT of material to master. After all, Oracle wants to ensure
everyone knows all the new features.



I don't know if it is just me, but it seems hard to work and come up with
time to study. But I'm not hoping for a change in THAT circumstance!! ;-)

Yeah Dennis, Congratulations!!!  Which exam did you just pass?  I need to 
start looking into studying for the 9i upgrade exam soon.
