I will complete my master degree in UTS at the end of this year, so the task of getting a good job for me become essential day by day. Although I'm kind of interesting of the concept of DBA of Oracle, MySQL, when I took the course of Advance Database in uni, the subject didn't told me so much things related to DBA but for Data warehouse. After that, I think that I need to study it by myself, not be told from the uni lecture. Certification always a good way to guide you to learn the important bits of that certain universe.
In this case, for MySQL version 5.0, this book "MySQL 5 Certification Study Guide" will be the guidance for me to familiar with the "Core" of MySQL. There are something need to know about MySQL version exams:
- There are two levels of certification to pass, they are called Developer and Database Administrator (DBA) certifications.
- The titles that belong with the two certification levels will be Certified MySQL Developer (CMDEV) and Certified MySQL Database Administrator (CMDBA), respectively.
- There will be two exams per certification level. If you wish to attain both titles, you will need to pass four exams.
Passing a MySQL certification exam is no easy feat. The statistics tell the story: 40 to 50 percent will fail an exam the first time they take it. This guide is a primer for the exams, but not a replacement for the MySQL Reference Manual or any other MySQL documentation.
