The single release beta OCP upgrade exams for
9i and 10g covered lots of topics.  For Oracle 9i,
OracleWorld had upgrade exam cram sessions;
yet a few weeks later Oracle announced that 110
people were OCP DBA 9i certified, which included
beta testers and OracleWorld production exams.

Researching Oracle's list of topics to be tested for
single version 9i and 10g upgrade exams could be
helpful along with reading and understanding any
Oracle documentation manual/chapter specifically
mentioned in additional upgrade exam preparation.

OTN has many new feature articles (including
a series for 10g by Arup Nanda) along with
Oracle By Example (OBE) downloadable code.

The Oracle University Online Library of OCP
DBA upgrade courses is worthwhile; I liked
the 9i format so much I used it as a model for
presentations (with demos) on 9i and 10g New
SQL Features (free to any interested person).

Tom Kyte's web site has research information:
http://asktom.oracle.com
along with downloadable files and links he likes.
I found many useful examples in topic searches.

Oracle Press has 9i and 10g New Feature books.

Have Fun :)
OCP DBA 7.3, 8, 8i (beta), 9i (beta), 10g (beta)
