SYNOPSIS
Oracle’s 8i OCP (Oracle Certified
Professional) DBA (Database
Administrator) certification is
for IT professionals who have
“proven skills managing a
large-scale database or developing
robust applications that are
deployed enterprise-wide.” The
Oracle 8i OCP was introduced in
1999 and will likely stay fairly
popular until the arrival of the
Oracle 10G certification.
Moreover, those candidates who
take this certification path can
upgrade to the Oracle 9i OCP
without having to meet the
requirement
of taking at least one instructor-led
inclass or instructor-led online
course for
the Oracle 9i OCP path. There is
no specific prerequisite for this
certification; however, having
some hands on experience with both
SQL and an Oracle or other
competitor database would
definitely help.
This certification is well
suited to IT personnel, with
titles such as database
administrator, database analyst,
and database developer, who want
to continue on with these roles or
move into roles such as data
warehouse architect, and
data-mining expert. The Oracle 8i
OCP designation is achieved by
passing five exams.
Although Oracle OCP
certification paths eventually
retire, you may continue to use a
retired designation as it denotes
the version of Oracle it is
associated with. If you hold an
Oracle 8 OCP, you may upgrade to
the Oracle 8i OCP by passing this
exam: 1Z0-020 – Oracle8i New
Features for Administrators. Also,
you can upgrade your Oracle 8i OCP
to the Oracle 9i OCP certification
via one exam: 1Z0-030 – Oracle9i
New Features for Administrators.
