SYNOPSIS
Oracle’s 9i OCA (Oracle
Certified Associate) DBA (Database
Administrator) certification is
for “apprentice skill level” IT
professionals who have have a
foundation of knowledge that will
allow them to act as a junior team
member working with database
administrators or application
developers. The Oracle 9i OCA was
introduced in late 2001 and will
likely stay very popular until the
arrival of the Oracle 10g
certification. There is no
specific prerequisite for this
certification; however, havingsome
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. The Oracle
9i OCA designation is achieved by
passing two exams. If you choose
the newer version of one of the
exams, you must take it online.
Although Oracle certification
paths eventually retire, you may
continue to use a retired
designation as it denotes the
version of Oracle it is associated
with. Also, Oracle normally
provides a one exam upgrade to a
newer version of a particular
certification.
