in reply to OT: Database Certificate == 'Good Career Move'?

I'd say that a Certificate could be a good thing. The one thing that I find less than optimal about the course work is that it appears to be very Oracle centric. Granted, Oracle is probably the most common database server used on large systems, but MS-SQL is also very common, and is quite different from Oracle in terms of writing SQL procedures, triggers, etc, and of course for any administration tasks.

Then you have the Open Source database servers (MySQL, Postgres) that are quite common in smaller shops and in web based environments. If that's the area where you think you might be working then you should probably familiarize yourself with these products as well.
