1. It can't get much easier to get certified, unless its automatic and free. Two tests should be cheaper than four. I am almost worried, however, about the lost revenue from certification training and testing. The Oracle certification education profit center may lose revenue and cut-back on all education. There are actually some worthwhile, and fun classes on iLearning.

All those uneditedable (pun intended) 3rd party books preaching certification may lose revenue too. Okay, maybe no one is buying them anyhow, as I see far fewer on the local book store shelves.

The only solution I can think of is to release a new major version of Oracle twice as often to make up for this glaring deficiency. :-)

2) Shhhh about the more work stuff. Let them think what they want. ;-)

Regards,

Mike Thomas
