Want to do career in DBA

  • Hello All

    I want to become a DBA.

    I need to do Oracle Certification right?

    Can any one guide me @ best books, dumps 😛 for Certification or anything you want?

  • I do have one question for you....do you know what URL you are at?

    Asking for dumps for a certification test...not a good way to start off on this forum.

    If you want to be a certified DBA for Oracle then yes take Oracle certification...but you are going to need more than dumps and books to pass those test.

    If you want to be a certfied DBA for SQL Server then yes take SQL Server certification...again for SQL 2008 test you will need more than dumps, books will give you a good head start into the test.

  • Frankly speaking I hate dumps for any type of certification.

  • Just so you know, certification is unlikely to help you get hired or get started in a DBA job. In general, you're better off working your way in to a DBA job. Meaning, start at the support desk or in development and then once you have some skills start working with the DBAs and move into that position.

    I agree w/ Grant. I started as a database developer. After establishing myself I made it known that I wanted to get some admin experience and got transitioned in.
