Hi all,
As i know that Microsoft gives its certified professionals a free voucher for upgrade exams once, Oracle does not provide that. Is it true? Say you are an OCP-DBA in 8i track, if you don't upgrade this certificate will remain valid upto another 3 years or more! But if you pass upgrade exam to 9i in first attempt how much it would cost the voucher? Another point, if you decide not to upgrade to 9i and rather in 10i can you sit for 10i directly? If no, then why should people expend money every two years just to maintain the OCP certificate, specially in this rude IT market now?

It's a tragic one Ashik, upgarde exame is not free in case of OCP. If you are certified for 8i and once 9i is in the market and you want to upgraed, you have to write an upgrade exam and pay the fees. OCP in 7.x have to write first upgrade for 8, then 8i and then 9i. NO shortcut, no Jumping...
