Hi,
This is my first message. I am an IT professional in the field for past many years (over 30 years), have been working on Oracle since 1992, Sybase since 1996 etc... In October I decided to do Oracle 8 DBA certification, first test on 25th October, and did the last one on 18th November; cleared all in first attempt. Referred to on-line documentation, exam-cram and of course a lot of notes from here and there; generally felt quite satisfied by doing it. Now intending to do 8 to 8i test; Can someone advise how this test is structured? what is the distribution of questions in this test? will be really helpful since there are no books readily available on this yet!
