Oracle Database Discussions

dear gurus,

can any one put lights on OCA/OCP certifications.now shell i go for 9i track for prepare for 10g. in institue we are learning 9i. and how much the fees? plus i heard also to appear as regular student in prometric center for one subject. here the costs of one subject regular attendance 1,500$ that is too much. any other way?

and i am on the job, can any refer is it recommended that we must have dba certifications. as i met so many ocp who just know things from books only not practical experience.whoever out enviornment has given to work on oracle.

any place to downloads dunps, for practice exams/cert?
