Yeah, 6 was the Chauncey (is it Chancey or Clancey?? - Rachel knows).  I
still like to call it OCP - just to give people a chance to correct me.



And 9i then 10i.  Gotta keep challenging myself somehow - and this is
cheaper than an MBA degree.

Tom,


 Continued congrats to you for your accomplishments. 
Wasn't OCP 6 really Clancey Certified?



Hurry up and get the 9i as 10i is on the way.... Will we ever catch
up?

Dennis,



I just finished the 8i upgrade (and passed it) and am now studying for
the


9i upgrade.



It is frustrating to study and learn stuff that you will never use -
but


need to know to pass the test.



But so far, my experience has been that I worry too much about passing
(so I


study more than I probably need to).  But, it's working for me, so I
guess


I'm doing it right!



keep on truckin!

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.
