Lots of very good DBA's never publish.  More than one person who has
published should not have been published.

From a hiring perspective:
 
I haven't noticed any correlation between "great oracle developer or
dba" and "passed Oracle certification exam".
 
I have noticed a positive correlation between "publishes and presents
work at professional conferences or in technical journals" and "great
oracle developer or dba".
 
Won't hurt your job prospects to have it, though.  Most HR groups and
many technical managers are clueless when it comes to evaluating
technical staff during the hiring process, so this can help.
