QUESTION POSED ON: 18 January 2008
I have four years of experience teaching Oracle, SQL, and PL/SQL. I also have a Master's Degree in Computer Science. Now I want to switch to an IT job in a multinational corporation. Will taking the OCP exams be beneficial to me in getting a DBA or Database Designer job?
