I am thinking to prepare for OCA, haven't got anything concrete yet. (Was thinking about MS sql server 2008 cert., but the cert. structure looks really confusing to me) I have experience working with oracle, sql server, some pl/sql, some t-sql. What bother me now, is when I get a chance to touch on Oracle, I am using my company's DB, and OBVIOUSLY, that's not for personally use. How can I get more practices and hands-on experience to prepare for the exam? Is taking courses from college the only way? Any good suggestion of books or websites from the ranchers?Btw, I believe Oracle cert. do not expire, am I correct?

Thanks,

FL

I wrote the OCA some 3 years ago.
quite easy for people with experience, but you should study of course.
there are trick questions.

just get any book.
I think it does not matter which one, but find time to at least through.
because on the job one does not use all the features being asked at the exam.

good luck
