What do you mean by that? AFAIK there will only be one testing center in Europe (EMEA region), and that is planned to be in England (Reading, I assume). And AFAIK it has not been put into operation yet.Quote:

I actually meant the written exam, but hey whatever
there is this guy from Oracle named Peter Sharman who took OCM exams in US and shared his experience in newgroups, comp.databases.oracle.server. He described a bit the exam, he said it was hard (I think he is pretty good, he wrote 2 books if I rememebr right, or was Daniel Morgan I cant remember), he passed it but was hard. The good news is you can take Oracle doco to the exam (which is practical not written) so at least you dont have to remember every single steps to setup a standby database for example but since it's practicalyou need experience because you may be see dodgy ORA-XXX errors hehe
And the exam runs on RedHat advanced server so you need at least some basic linux/unix knowledge
you can look his exam feedback in

You live in Scandinavia, you register via Oracle Sweden, Oracle Finland, etc. You pay them the money, they arrange the stuff in Reading. You pay 3200€, nice sum, eh?Quote:

Ah, no... :-) They decided to switch from Oracle Parallel Server to SQL Server (money, money, money), so I became a Senior DBA for the Nokia Corporation.Quote:
