Stephen, Isn't that always the case with exams? No one employs me for being good at passing exams; its the knowledge I've picked up on the way that counts. I very much doubt I would have spent every evening for a month reading about 10g new features without the incentive of an exam at the end of it; not to mention the mick I'd have taken out of me if I failed.

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?
