Hi atul,
How r u ??
I am having some doubts regarding Apps DBA certifications.
[1] I would like to know regarding the books availability for Apps DBA certification, as I am having the oracle university book of "Oracle 11i Install, Patch & maintain Applications" is it enough for clearing the exam, I am on oracle Apps since last 2 years but as far as exam is concerned thorough theoretical knowledge is knowledge required.
[2] Can I give the exam right now as Apps Certification is Under Beta phase was till 30 Dec. gone I want to complete certification before Jun 07?
