Hi,
Please give me some advice.
Should I study 8i -> 9i or study 9i directly?
Do you know any good Oracle training school in South bay of California
(alameda county or Santa Clare county)?
Thanks.

Hi Terry,
I would recommend studying 9i. By doing so, you will effectively learn
8i plus all the current bunch of goodies. Note that the basic
architecture and the basic good DBA principles and best practices don't
change hugely between releases. It's the bells and whistles that become
more impressive and make life interesting.
Living in sunny Canberra, Australia, I can't really comment too much on
any good Oracle training facilities in South Bay California. But what I
can say is that I met up with a bunch of LA Lakers fans when I visited
in 1989 and although they showed me the town and I had a great time,
they weren't very good at holding their * (despite the fact US
beer was somewhat like making love in a canoe )
Cheers ;)

There's a hell of a lot of new features in 9i, and many of them develop, or
expand on, stuff that was introduced in 8i. Cut out 8i, and a lot of 9i is
going to seem a bit mysterious. (For example: "Locally Managed Tablespaces
are now the default". Great... but what's a locally managed tablespace??!
"Materialized Views now Fast Refresh more readily than in 8i". Lovely... but
what's a Materialised View, and what's Fast Refresh when it's at home?
I can't speak for what other training organisations do (and I don't speak
for Oracle, either), but the official Oracle 9i New Features course
*assumes* familiarity with 8i new features.
As was discussed here some weeks ago, too: going from 8i to 9i means that
you are required to know about things like Advanced Replication and
Workspace Management. Doing 9i direct would not require that level of
knowledge. If you want an easy time of it, therefore, direct 9i is the way
to go. But if you actually want to know, understand and use the product
competently, the 8i -> 9i upgrade route is more thorough, and ultimately
more productive.

Hi Howard,
I meant learning 9i, not just the 9i only features. I don't think Terry
was suggesting just learning new features introduced in 9i but whether
he should be 8i "literate" before becoming 9i literate.
If I was to put it into Oracle University/Education terms (which I
wasn't, I took the training to be a generic term) this would mean doing
the 9i DBA course, the 9i Backup Recovery/Networking course, the 9i
Performance Tuning Course then perhaps to fill in the gaps, the 9i NF
course. It's somewhat redundant to start learning 8i at this stage if
you have a choice. Once you learn 9i, you implicitly learn 8i or the
bits in 8i worth learning. Learning 9i means knowing LMT, knowing MVs,
etc.
I believe if you are 9i "literate" and you have an 8i database put in
front of you, you'll get by (just as someone who knows 8i would survive
looking after an Oracle7 database). I don't believe the same would
necessarily be the case the other way around and so my suggestion to
'read' the 9i Concepts manual in preference to the 8i and then read
through the 9i one as well.
Then again, I could be wrong. Either way, it's get boring agreeing with
you all the time, this is more like it ;)
Cheers
Richard

Oh well, we're allowed to disagree. The 9i Networking course is (I think theQuote:> If I was to put it into Oracle University/Education terms (which I

And I was never comfortable that the only 8i course that mentioned
partitioning (as an example) was the New Features one... why anyone who has
sat through the core 8i DBA material should then have to attend a 'New
Features' course to learn the missing bits, I couldn't say. The same applies
to 9i: the core stuff won't teach you about AR or WM or RAC, but the 9i NF
course will (to mention just three).
We'll agree to disagree again! The 8i-to-7 therefore 9i-to-8i analogyQuote:> I believe if you are 9i "literate" and you have an 8i database put in
> front of you, you'll get by (just as someone who knows 8i would survive

Don't forget that 8i is still a supported version, and remains so for quite
some time. And for quite some time after *that*, most of the world will
still be running 8i whatever "i" Oracle itself might be pushing by then. As
a basis for working confidently and competently with all Oracle
installations, 9i training by itself is no way to go.
This is,of course, the same theory that got us to abandon all 8i training
earlier this year to "encourage" people to switch to 9i -which I always
thought was the height of lunacy, not to mention arrogance. "Oh, they're
basically the same systems" I was told (mentioning no names, but the word
"Brisbane" springs to mind). Funny then that we've now just re-instated the
8i curriculum, because so many 7, 8.0 and 8i users were fed up with learning
stuff that is wildly different to what they can actually use.
Until nearly everyone uses LMTs, automatic undo, auto-tuned PGA, the
one-line 'backup database;' RMAN command, and so on, 9i training on its own
is no preparation for the real world.

Hi Howard,
I think we are arguing a little at cross purposes.
You seem to be highlighting some notable deficiencies with the Oracle
Education DBA curriculum, most of which I thoroughly agree with. I've
always positioned the New features course as an "Advanced DBA" course,
as it usually covers much material not generally included in the
standard courses. I also believe those who have complete the standard
courses should be able to attend the New features courses at some
reduced rate and I've always thought it would be nice if the stuff not
covered in the standard courses where separated such that duplication of
material could be avoided. Say day 3,4 and 5 only covers stuff not in
the standard courses.
However I still stick to my argument that a comprehensive understanding
in 9i inherently means a good understanding of 8i. Note that DMT,
PCTUSED, Freelists, Rollback segments etc. etc. are all part of 9i.
Maybe they're not the in thing, but a good understanding of 9i means
knowing these things as well (until the new stuff works properly :).
There is very little you can do in 8i, very little that you should be
doing in 8i that you shouldn't be doing in 9i. The fact that Oracle
itself has problems with it's curriculum doesn't mean other training
organisation have the same problems and doesn't mean one shouldn't be
focused in the current stuff (and thereby implicitly learning stuff
relevant to previous releases as well).
I agree that 8i will be around for a while, but if you're trained
*properly in 9i* (and I guess that's the issue, you're suggesting that
may not be so easy), you should also be inherently trained in 8i. If you
don't learn RAC, Workspace Management, etc. learning 9i, you're sure as
hell aren't going to learn it learning 8i.
Cheers
Richard

And what of RMAN backup and recovery? The 9i material doesn't appear (after
an admittedly quick glance) to mention creating scripts at all. The thrust
is definitely not to have a catalog database, and all of their examples show
backup commands being issued in an ad hoc way, using the stored
configuration parameters in the control file. It is no basis for performing
RMAN backups using 8i.
I could go on (Names Server, for example).
Yes, these things are in 9i, but either they've changed so much as to be
unrecognisable (RMAN, for example), or they are taught with such a 9i slant,
and with so much skimping on the 8i specifics, that the *course material* is
not sufficient for an understanding of 8i.
Back to our original poster: he wants to attend training. The Oracle
training material practically dictates an 8i-followed-by-9i New Features
approach.

And yes, I'm making an assumption that if Oracle's material is written like
that, most everyone else's will be too.
All I know is that after 5 days of DBA1 these days, I'm ready to drop:
because I've taught two largely separate DBA courses in the time allowed for
1 (and the Melbourne guys feel the same way). I have to: 80% of my audience
isn't even interested in the 9i stuff, so I have to back fill with my own
material to flesh out the 8i-specific stuff. Thank God the powers that be
have re-instated the 8i courses, because it was unworkable otherwise. And
they wouldn't have done that without reason.
If ALL you ever want to administer is a 9i (or higher!) database, then the
Oracle curriculum isn't that bad. You'll be taught to rely on the
automated-everything approach, and that's clearly the way of the future.
But if you want to understand how to run what will soon be "legacy"
databases, then it really isn't a good option on its own.
You must have just forgotten that bit, huh?

Hi Dudester,
Alas, the US is not quite so open to imports and not quite so agreeable
to a free market as some Australian farmers would like :(
Don't touch Fosters (yucky yuck yuck), get hold of a Crown Lager and
your life will be changed for the better ;)
Cheers (literally)
