I can guess whats covered in the exam, heck the objectives are listed on the
Oracle site.
I'm interested in the experience of those who have taken it. Having written
Oracle Presses
11g New Features book, I'm fairly well acquainted with the 11g feature set. :-)
Often certain subject areas receive more coverage than others. I'm interested
in what areas/topics listed
in the objectives are receiving the most coverage. I've heard varying responses
as to the complexity of
this exam.
I'm in no way asking anyone to violate the agreement they sign when they take
the exam with respect to revealing questions, etc.
Pre-requs for the 11g upgrade is 10g OCP. There is no "downgrade" path.

9i and 10g OCP exams focus a lot in RMAN (almost twice as any other
area) however I'd guesstimate that the 11g exams focus on the *new*
things, like tablespace level encryption and such. In 10g you have a few
questions about TDE, but encryption granularity and manageability is
greatly improved in 11g. I wan to take this exam as well, what are the
pre-requisites?
Is there an OCP downgrade? i.e. if I'm a 10g OCP, can I get certified as
a 9i OCP? Or do I need to take the entire certification path?
Thanks

I have not taken it yet (was going to take the beta but ran out of
time). I'm not surprised. Lot's different in 11g.
Without giving away specific questions, what areas did you find they
were asking the most questions about?

Subject: Oracle 11g upgrade exam
Just curious, I just barely passed the Oracle 11g OCP upgrade exam. I
found it to be ten-times more difficult than the other upgrade exams
(10g, 9i, etc).
Did anyone else find it very difficult or am I just getting older......
