Re: System Admin Performance Tuning Exam.

Tracy, It looks like you are "almost" there as far as knowledge level. If you have not taken it yet, I would recommend you take the Performance Tuning class (either 4 or 5 day long class I believe) from Informix, then give yourself another week or so to study that class training manual hard (I also recommend you build your own "cram" notes from the class) , then go take the exam. You'll pass it. If you have already taken the perf. tun. class from Informix, then, yes, study/study/study. If your main goal is to pass the exam, then do your best to know the training manual they gave you in the class from cover to cover. If you also want to increase your overall knowledge at the same time, then add some books and Informix manuals to the study materials... I would not recommend taking the exam over again right after a failed attempt. Hal Maner M Systems International, Inc.
