Answer 1

Venkathapathy, it depends on your interest. The two are quite different but complimentry. As a student who'll be looking for a new job, you are likely to get better value out of the Java cert initially.

It is more common to hire a junior programmer with little experience than to hire an Oracle DBA fresh out of school. There is much more risk in handing over an enterprise database to a newbie. Too risky - it's not done.  Database skills however will complement your programming capability and you will need them.

If certs are your focus then focus on the programming track for now

I feel it depends upon your interest area because doing an SCJP certification will help you get into the programming area.

whereas doing oracle certification like dba or RAC will fetch you job in a different arena dealing with core database structures and involvements.

whatever certification you do, its better go for an authorised institute then ur market value will increase.
