Congratulations Tycho! :)
are you working now a days?
Hi Vimalp,
Yes I'm working as an Oracle DBA. Started in march this year (without Oracle experience but had VB experience).
Before this I worked in a dutch biotech company (not in the IT field).
Do you have a job as a DBA right now?
Tycho
Dear Tycho,
Thanks for prompt reply :)
NO, I'm not working as Oracle DBA!!!
bcoz i'm lacking in EXPERIENCE :(
I did computer programming too, but
same story :(
okay, thanks again !
Hi Vimalp,
Sorry to hear you haven't been succesful yet.
Well you have got all that it takes to get some experience (PC, Oracle, connection to the internet).
Goodluck,
Tycho
Thanks Tycho,
I'm still trying, and i'll keep trying till i get the job.
Thanks again, :)

Hi MN,
I think you willing to go for OCP DBA! am i right?
if yes, there is one book 'oracle certification exam guide'
by jason couchman and Exam Cram books from coriolis
series for each paper available now and off course STS
is good source to practice.
HTH,
Hi Vimal Patel,
Thanks for the reply.
I brought the book Oracle Certification. Is it necessary to buy cram books. If so I will paln to buy them.
Could you suggest me how to study and proceed for the exam.
I don't have real experience as Oracle DBA. Even then can i get thru the exam.
Thanks for your response.

Hi mn,
I did the first two exams only by studying Couchman.
After that I also used the exam cram series and the online documentation.
If you use these three sources your understanding of Oracle will be much broader then only
studying Couchman.
STS and ILT can also be a big help in a way but go with additional cost.
Hope this helps
tycho
Hi Tycho,
Thanks for the info.
Could you tell me what is STS and ILT where can I get the detailed info for them.
Thanks,
MN.
Dear MN,
STS => Self Test Software, which is available for each paper
at cost of $99/each paper.
you can buy it from http://www.stsware.com
Exam cram also available for each paper now a days
and it is also good source to refer before taking the exam.
Off course YES, you can passed it without any experience!!!
You need to practice it well and make sure you understands
everything you read.
HTH,
