    New to this list and am about to embark on getting my Oracle DBA
    certification so will probably end up asking u lot some daft
    questions, but hopefully i in turn can help others out soon. To start
    off with i have a couple of queries the first about certification and
    the second about oradim.

    First...
    Been working with oracle for about 2.5 years as a developer and
    touched on DBA stuff having done a 1 week hands on course some
    time ago not having strained myself it's now time to get my nose
    amongst the books and i would like to ask you how long do u think
    it should take an average joe to complete the DBA certification
    doing evening study 5/6 times a week for a couple of hours? If you
    can't relate to this how did u do the certification and has it improved
    your ability/job lot in the market, ?


    Second...
    Having created the service and instance successfully, i think? but
    where is the log file to verify this, tried to look in my
    oracle_home\rdbms but no log file, am using 8.1.6 server. When i
    run oradim to create a service and instance, does it do it
    immediately or do i have to reboot? Can i take it that an instance is
    running in memory? Oradim confuses me!
    Have tried...
    D:\>oradim -shutdown -sid fistsid -usrpwd system -shuttype
    srvc,inst -shutmode i
    DIM-00018: Failed to stop Oracle Service
    O/S-Error: (OS 1060) The specified service does not exist as an
    installed service.

    Cheers

    hi,
    completing certification is a pretty easy job, if u have the course notes provided by oracle, and the way uere reading uer manualy i.e., 5-6 times a week for couple of hours of serious study should see u thro. if u maintain the same routine for about 2months, not too difficult, and then the OCP does enhance uer chance of getting a dba job, but then u need exp. and that is one very hard thing to get initially, the next thing is that the error suggets that there is no NT service by the name what u have furnished, u might need to clean uer env. before starting again, need anything else?
    cheers
