The upgrade exam seemed to be far less forgiving, and could be considered more
difficult than the standard track exams. This is most likely because of the depth
of knowledge expected and covered within 54 questions.
I
found that the questions on this exam have no middle
ground. You know exactly what they are asking or you
don't. DO NOT expect those often blatantly wrong answers
in the multiple choice line up to be there to help
you!
As
with most Oracle certification exams, a good command
of the new init.ora parameters, views, and syntax should
be expected and this one is no exception. However,
the key to passing this exam is to focus your study
on the features Oracle feels are the most important
improvements (not always the most used) to the database
since release 8.0.
The
majority of the exam questions come from the following
five topics, so I highly suggest you focus your study
efforts here.
- Optimizer
and Query Improvements
- Availability
and Recoverability Enhancements
- Partitioning
Improvements
- Summary
Management
- Tablespace
Management
Although
the remaining sections Indexes, IOTs, LOBs, Net8, Tools,
Security, Database Resource Manager account for fewer
questions on the exam, combined they could be the deciding
factor between passing and sitting for the exam a second
time.
Strong
knowledge in the above areas should enable you to do
very well on this exam. The questions can be difficult,
but nothing a good DBA can't handle. Just keep in mind
your getting Oracle8i certified with only one exam,
it could always be worse.
Good
Luck!
