Hi All ,

                     I am in India . I am an OCP DBA (8i)  having three years  IT

experience ( Oracle( 7.3, 8 ) and
Developer2000 , OS -
windows NT).Three months back I have joined one of the known company of India. The role of mine in the present job is
of DBA. I
have to handle two Oracle 7.3 databases on AIX of an application which is stable since last five years. As the
application is stable I am
not getting good / challenging exposure to DBA activities. My aim is to go to US . Can you guide me :

1.. How to get the list of good firms in US , to apply for a DBA post ? 2. Shall I change my present job , just because the database is of older version ( which I was not knowing while joining
) ?
3. Will certification of Sun Solaris System Administration be helpful to me? 4. Will an Advanced DBA course ( Oracle parallel server, Replication, distributed DB) be helpful to me ?
