Last week, I decided to try the newest Oracle 11g certification –

1Z0-054 (1Z1-054): Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Certified Expert.

The exam is still in beta, which means that there are LOTS of questions (192 to be precise) in 3 hours. Unfortunately, this was not enough time for me. I had to skip 5-10 text-intensive questions to make it all the way to the end.

I can only recommend to practice a lot with the new 11g Performance Features as well as DB Control.

Unfortunately, now the waiting is only beginning because results won´t be available until 10 weeks after the beta close, which is extended until 30 June 2009. 😉

I might have to try it again after getting some practical experience on the first 11g production database.
