Hi Paul
I am preparing for 10g OCP but I bit confused which exam, as far as I know I have to appear for IZ0-042 and IZ0-043, is there any other paper I need to clear to get OCP? What about IZ0-047 is it part of OCA/OCP or it is only for Pl/Sql Developer?
Thanks
Subrato

Hi Subrato - 1Z0-042 + a choice of one between several exams (see the 10g OCP page at http://bit.ly/bwXV) will get you to OCA, then exam 1Z0-043 + training will get you to OCP. 1Z0-047 is indeed one of those choices to hit the OCA level.
