if you do 9i its 4 tests plus a $2000 5 days class that is during the
workday.
if you do 8i its 5 tests then an upgrade test for 6 total.
how much money do you want to spend?
Computer training is a waste of money. its not interactive so you wont
retain much of anything. I just got the osborne books in a bundle. I
read the docs at OTN.ORACLE.COM for each section of the test. I also
read the concepts guide and the server concepts guide. Then i play
around with an instance I have at home. When I have trouble following
something, I search for it on dejanews.com or ask. Its important to
use more than just the study guides. Its easier that way, but you dont
have to buy anything.
You only need to get about 70% right or less on each test.
if youi have a technical background the classes are a waste of money.
They are 5 days all day long. Too fast to retain anything. If you dont
have technical experience, you wont get a job as a DBA anyway, so dont
waste your time. 1  1944 
Hello Ryan,
I want you to understand that both Oracle 8i and 9i has equal
application in the industry. it is just that 9i is a more current
version of Oracle. If you have your certification in 8i it is more
or less the same as having it in 9i. However you will need an
upgrade exams.
For Now, I will advise you to go for 9i certification path.
As for books, There aare so many of them in the market, if you go to
Amazon.com you'll get a good number of them. being a beginer I will
advise you try hands on some Oracle publications from Osbourne Mc Graw
Hill. Try their web sites . I enjouy their books a great deal.
try as much as you can to get a hands on experience as it helps a lot in
securing a job.
BEST OF LUCK
Enjoy

If you want to maximize your chances, first get certified in 8i, then
write the delta exam to get certified in 9i also (it's only one more
exam). You can become certified easily without buying any book or
taking any class. Just use the manuals in tahiti.oracle.com (The
Concepts, backups and Administration manuals are probably enough).
Make sure to have Oracle at home to practice, and that should be
enough. Look also on www.oraclenotes.com...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
