hello house, I am ayodeji, i just got certified(OCA) on the 29th of April 2010. All these while, i have been exposed to the theory aspect without actually going through the real things like creating users, giving users privileges, backing up database, scheduling jobs, etc. Pls house i need a place i can lay my hands on the real practical thing. Anyone who can help can contact me on aycd44@yahoo.com or 08036251395.

Welcome to reality!

Have you asked yourself how many companys use oracle in Nigeria?

Have you asked how many persons are needed to man oracle database within an organization?

Have you asked why companies are not using oracle, giving its advantages?

My guy, if you can find answers to the above, you will understand why it could be difficult to find a place to practice.

My findings are:

Too few companies use oracle. why, cost of implimentation and maintainance is high. Also, there a afordable alternatives. You need very few persons to man oracle implimentation in an organization. supply is greater than demand. Also, some companies are not comfortable leaving their crucial data to some "Oraclist" to handle the way they thinks is right. They prefer to stay will the old (in their mind sets), reliables.


Once againg, welcome to reality.

Thanks war house, but that doesnt rule out the fact that some companies still use it and i can still get somewhere to lay my hands on practical experience.
