Everything you want to know about the 1z0-040

Q. What is the pre-requisite for taking the 1z0-040 test?

A. The prerequisite for the 1z0-040 test is Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Release 2 (1z0-030). The 1z0-040 (OCP) is a step that upgrades your 9i OCP credential to 10g credential. Generally, one test is required for OCPs to upgrade to each new release of an Oracle DBA track.
