Oracle Database Discussions

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a job....I want to write Oracle 9i DBA OCP exams to improve my chances of getting a job, i am going to graduate ...... I want your help in this regard. I want best books to write the OCP (oracle 9i)DBA professional level (4 exams) or Orace 8i (OCP Exams), tell me which certification should i take 8i or 9i. It seems 9i certification has Oracle univ course requirement (which is costly) Or should i have to take only Oracle 9i OCA Exam at this stage. Suggest me which way is better, what the industry is looking in oracle side jobs, which are rare & have better future. So that i can take that certification. I have very little experience as a DBA. Please suggest me which books, training software i have to purchase..... Waiting for your reply. Appreciate your reply in this regard.....

Thanks,
ram
