IOUG to present concerns regarding a change in OCP for Oracle9i. The
number of tests to complete for certification have been decreased to 2
for OCA and 4 for OCP, but in addition at least one Oracle University
hands-on course is being required. The group agreed and Eric as our
IOUG representative will draft a document to IOUG for us.
