RE: 9i OCP Details

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).

You are talking about Scott Gossett jr. I took that internals course and it was good. It was very, very good.

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.
