Hi Catherine

   Thanks for keeping it short and simple.    Since i have already started reading the general DBA books by Oracle Press, i am finding it a little difficult to understand, since i dont have access to any Oracle database. Is there any Evaluation version of Oracle9i, which, newbies like me can use to learn the basics of Oracle DBA.
  Is it absolutely necessary to go for an OCP certification? If after my preparations i do feel confident to apply as a Junior DBA elsewhere, is OCP taken as a mandatory requirement?   And by the way i checked your profile link. You really look astonishingly beautiful! I am really honoured on getting your reply. Wish me luck with my Oracle DBA studies.
