Re: Certification

        Well, it may sound strange, but I think getting AND regularly upgrading 
OCP is worth it.

        Don't think I and some just-graduate student. I am Oracle DBA for 7 
years. I was responsible for 12 Oracle servers most of the time. For the last 
year I am working as a consultant, and I am consulting customers. I work with 
lots of people, lots of data.

        And I think going for OCP is WORTH IT.

        The main thing about OCP is that you get to know about so many 
possibilities. You can be successful DBA with knowing 30% of Oracle. You can be 
absolutely successful Oracle 10g DBA with knowledge and practice of Oracle 8i. 
But getting/upgrading OCP will get you to 80% of knowing the last Oracle 
release. It will ease your life and your database users' life too.

        My (angry) 2 cents... :)
