Re: Certified DBA exam

Hi,

  As far as I know, there are 2 different kinds of test. One of the test is offered by Oracle Corp. and the other is from The Chauncey Group International and it is more comprehensive than the test from Oracle.

I have also considered taking the test offered by The Chauncey Group.
