RE: certifications was Re: Remote DBA

We got a new brand new dba in our group...he did all of the 8i and 9i certifications
in 2 months.

He uses large SIG letters beside his name now. He did bust his butt for a while to
do it...
Kinda puts one to shame doesnt it.

U must b knowing OCP takes $$ and these were free of cost, done around 1~1.5 years back. Now these are also chargeable. Anyway I am going to remove those from my signature!! (Offcourse, I am not adding a new signature as "ListMember for ORACLE-L_at_Fatcity.com" :)

Say what you think Joe,
When I have been looking for contacts several agencies have asked me to take those tests as a means of ensuring that I know what I am supposed to know. They act as a pre-interview filter
If it sorts the wheat from the chaff then I don't think they perform a bad service in that respect.
However as far as being touted as a professional qualification as Ramesh is using them then I think I would forget about it.

I think anybody who contributes to this list claiming to be this, that or the other is setting himself up for a fall.

Dennis has got the idea by having 40% OCP in his sig (however that has been there so long now that the exams probably need re-taking now !!!!)

Ramesh, since in your sig line you say you're brainbench and brainbuzz certified, do you really think those tests have any meaning, i took them and thought they were a joke.
