This is a trick that Oracle is using to up its bottom line. Why does Oracle care how we prepare for the exams. I am an Oracle Developer (6 years) with good experience as a junior DBA and had planned on taking the DBA 9i certification- but now I will not. Peter, OCP (6i) |

So late to read this news. I have already studied the 8i material and install 8i for practicing. I thought that I will not go for 9i right now. |

I'm getting real sick of the wishy-washy attitude in the cert industry. First MS changes its mind about expiring the NT 4.0 MCSE's, now Oracle is changing its mind about training being required. Why can't everybody just stick with their decisions? |

I have been developing applications using Oracle for over twelve years. I finally decided to get certified, however I now see that I need to take an additional course. In my opinion this policy is totally wrong. If you pass the tests that is all that matters. It is not anyone’s business how you choose to study. It is most certainly a money grab. |

I estimate Oracle University revenues are off 20% from a $500,000,000 in revenue two years ago. Off $100,000,000. With approx. 60,000 Oracle certified folk out there this is going to generate up to $90,000,000 for Oracle University online and make that unit profitable again. This is no more than a money grab to make up for education revenues in a down market. The funny thing is, they will end up losing certification market share and the idea will fail. |

that is only if you go to an Oracle University of training. |

The NT 4.0 withdrawal came because Microsoft made the test very easy for techs with good reading skills. Typers, or hands-on memorizers, were left in the dust. Functional literates, or paper MCSEs, gained. This was politically incorrect, and required adjustment, hence the delay. |

Wombat half of all MCSE are funtional literates anyway, and as for W2k MCSE being harder...Bull I braindumped the whole thing...why??? I prefer to use my time studying for REAL CERTs like CCNP/DP CCA etc... MS is a joke and they really do not care about their Cert track....think about it how many Cisco dump site do you see??? Plus managing servers with GUIs is chimp work. |
