Why Me?

By gavin.parish on May 25, 2006 4:03 PM

Why would I create a blog, and why would you want to hang around and read it...

I like challenging myself, and my latest challenge, is OCM, Oracle Certified Master. I've been talking of getting my OCM for the last few years, and I figure the only way I'll actually make it is to actually spend the time to study and research, and the only way I'm going to get that done, is to be accountable to someone for it.

So, saying that, this site will be my journey through the trials and tribulations of going from 8i OCP to 10g OCM.

If I make myself feel guilty for not updating the blog, I might do some study, so I have something to write about?!! Make sense?

After meeting some OCMs that were barely adequate in their Oracle knowledge I firmly believe there is no challenge in OCM and I'm convinced the Oracle certification in general is waster of time and money ... or my standards are just too high ....

Are you sure you've met some OCM's? I'm not sure you've realised the difference between OCP and OCM. See today's post for why.

Guy who passed told me he failed first time.
Says you need to be well prepared.
I find lack of firm list to be a problem.
10g Grid Control agent ( 10.1 ) won't work.
Please contact if you want to exchange/share information.

Regards, Ranko.
