Niall,
Totally agree with the sentiments behind this and I'll be taking it.
I've definitely got a couple points to get of my chest:
1. Practical experience should not equate to having to take a *very* expensive
Oracle education course. It is completely ludicrous for oracle to suggest
(as have some in oracle education) that sitting on a course shows the
candidate is not just a "paper based" dba. Any fool can turn up to a course,
but that is no guarantee anything is going on.
2. I really do feel some of the questions can be of the "what relevance to
the real world does this have?" variety, or the "why would want to carry
this information around in your head, when I could just look it up" variety.
Cheers for highlighting this, I'll definitely be taking the survey!
jason.
