I agree. I've been a DBA for 10 years but have only recently got OCP.
I mainly work on 9i, so it helped me enormously to get to grips with
the new features in 10g. Okay, I could have taken a new features
course, but I don't think I would have learnt nearly as much falling
asleep at the back of a 5 day course as I did in the two months of
swatting that I did for the exams.
Maybe I'm bweing picky but what you both seem to really be saying is
that it was the studying for the OCP that was useful, not the OCP
itself. If Oracle just published each year a list of topics (possibly
along with links to online tutorials and reference texts) saying
something like "We think this is what a DBA should know.", maybe
include some 'Test you knowledge' quizes, wouldn't that be as useful?
