Hi All,

>From the Oracle Education Certification Page:

http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/index.html?dba9i_upgrade.html

Shows 4 possible tests:
Oracle9i DBA OCP Upgrade Path
Upgrade exams for Oracle7.3, Oracle8 and Oracle8i DBA OCPs. In order to make the process of staying current as an Oracle Certified technical professional, those already certified on previous releases of Oracle may upgrade to each future release by simply completing one migration exam. Listed below are the migration exams that are currently available to previously certified Oracle DBAs. Please review the listings below for more specific information. Generally, one exam is required for OCPs to upgrade to each new release of an Oracle DBA track. For example, one exam upgrades the Oracle7.3 credential to Oracle8, one exam upgrades the Oracle8 credential to Oracle8i, and one exam upgrades the Oracle8i credential to Oracle9i. Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 DBA OCPs now have another option to upgrade their DBA OCP credential directly to Oracle9i: Exam #1Z0-035 Oracle9i DBA New Features for Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 OCPs. This exam will be available beginning October 2003.
Select the exam title below to view the exam objectives. Upgrade Exam: Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 DBA OCPs to Oracle9i Exam #1Z0-035 Oracle9i DBA New Features for Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 OCPs Available October 2003
Upgrade Exam: Oracle7.3 to Oracle8 DBA OCP Exam #1Z0-010 Oracle8 New Features for Administrators Upgrade Exam: Oracle8 to Oracle8i DBA OCP Exam #1Z0-020 Oracle8i New Features for Administrators Upgrade Exam: Oracle8i to Oracle9i DBA OCP Exam #1Z0-030 Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Hope this helps,
John

That sounds very interesting.

I have an 7.3 OCP ( beta exams at OOW ), but don't have 8.0 or 8i.

Being able to skip the 8/8i exams should make this attractive to many folks.

List,
While looking at the Oracle Education site I located a link about the Paris OpenWorld this month and the OCP upgrades. In particular was the upgrade that by-passes the 8 to 8i step on the way to 9i. http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/news/index.html?oowexamcram2003.html "Upgrade Exam: Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 DBA OCPs to Oracle9i Exam #1Z0-035 Oracle9i DBA New Features for Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 OCPs"

Of the list members that attended Open World in San Francisco, was this available there also?
I would like to have this test also available to the DBA's that can not attend an open world meeting. It could be a great help if it eliminates the cost of one test along the way to an upgrade of the OCP.

It also raises the questions about the training. A normal new features course is 5 days in length and costs BIG BUCK$. This course is less than a day and cheap. What do they do give the answers and hope you remember them later in the day when you take the test?

Ron
