What is Oracle?
The Oracle Database (commonly referred to as Oracle RDBMS or simply as Oracle) is an object- relational database management system produced and marketed by Oracle Corporation.

Larry Ellison and his friends, former co-workers Bob Miner and Ed Oates, started the consultancy Software Development Laboratories (SDL) in 1977. SDL developed the original version of the Oracle software. The name Oracle comes from the code-name of a CIAfunded project Ellison had worked on while previously employed by Ampex.

For companies that send employees through annual IT training, certification ensures a return on the training investment by validating the knowledge and understanding gained in training sessions. Companies can also combine certification with an employee development program to enhance employee loyalty and performance on the job. Hiring certified professionals has a direct impact on a company's bottom line, as these conclusions from a research study by International Data Corporation suggest: Certified professionals handled 40% more support calls per person, per day, than uncertified staff. Companies that advocated certification reported 49% less downtime than those that did not.

The survey involved members of the top certification programs in the IT industry. Net gains due to obtaining a certification were also researched, and both Oracle and Compaq Certified Professionals were, again, at the top of the list for increased salary due to certification. Therefore, it is easy to realize the very positive return on investment that Oracle Certification can bring to your bottom line. Most certified OCPs have found that their financial investment in training and certification is paid off by gains in salary, job opportunities, or expanded roles over a short nine month period. It is unlikely that you will find a better opportunity to grow your career and the value you bring to the job.
