For 731 we had to take exam 730.But this 733 says we can take 730 or 700.Isnt that being inconsistent.
Exam 700 and 730 are considered equivalent, so are valid pre-requisites for 731 and 733 (and 732). http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/dbdadba.shtml
Are there going to be any upgrade exams for those that already hold the equivalent v8 cert?<div> </div> Nice blog Susan. Keep up the good work!
Hi Victor.... Yes, the new exam was just released... I'll blog about it today.
Thanks for the info. This there any books available in the market specify for 733?
I'd like to ask the same question as Jonathan - are there any books available in the market specifically for 733?When preparing for 730, Roger Sander's book was invaluable.<div> </div> I've found here on your blog - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/SusanVisser?entry=passing_exam_733that you said no back in Oct, and I wanted to check whether this had changed since then.<div> </div> Thanks in advance.<div> </div> MG
