Hi Friends,
I am planning to jump on the Oracle certifications and need help from you.
I am confused with whether to follow the 8i or 9i track. With some of the recent posting in this forum, I found that 9i track require you to take some classes, which are costly. Is is true?
So should I follow 8i track and start with 1Z0-007 or 1Z0-001. I believe 007 is latest compared to 001 and covers some 9i also. Then I will have to take 023, 025, 024, and 026. So a total of 5 exams to become Oracle 8i DBA.
How much is the cost for each of these exams. I could not find any info on the price on oracle website
Regarding prepration I have registered with OCP_Study yahoo group. Are they any free material on the web, which can give me some good starting point. I am confused with OCP, OCA and how they differ from Oracle 8i DBA track.
I am also planning to buy this book from Amazon

So at this time I am a bit confused with where to start.
Thanks a lot for your help.
