Re: Oracle Guru?

And keep an eye open for any good websites, but don't trust what you read there until you've tested it on your specific platform and version of Oracle.

Regarding certification - I wasn't impressed with the questions I saw in a recent sample 2 out of 10 didn't have the right answer available, and 2 were sufficiently ambiguous that 2 answers were arguably reasonable. On the other hand, I suspect that up and coming DBA's will probably be (unfairly) eliminated from the CV list if they don't have it.

I have a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks eye cannot sea

I've run this poem threw it
I'm shore your pleased to no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me so
