Oracle Exam Beta Extended

Thursday June 25, 2009
Oracle reports that it has extended the beta program for its "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" certification exam (1Z1-054).

A beta is a pre-release product. Companies release betas so that customers can use the product and provide feedback to the vendor about strengths and weaknesses. In this case, Oracle is seeking more data to refine the exam. The company says that the exam tests the following skills and knowledge:
"Database 11g automatic tuning features, including SQL Tuning Advisor, SQL Access Advisor, Automatic Workload Repository and Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor."
The beta exam is just $50, which is a good deal because it still counts toward the Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Certified Expert (OCE) certification.
