me talking out loud

Finally took my tests (yep took both instead of doing the upgrade from Core) for the Certified MySQL Developer cert and I have to say - Dang that was hard. I passed them both thankfully though. The first test is on the basics and wasn’t too bad - did pretty well though I would have been happier if my score was higher. The second test though - man did it kick my buttocks. It covers Joins, stored procedures, triggers, views and all that good stuff. And stupid, arrogant me didn’t study much for it since I do so much of it at work - and oh boy did it show.

Anyway - at least I got a nice breakdown of my test with percentages on the various part to help me work a bit on my soft areas. That is nice. I have to admit to being a bit embarrassed by some of my scores so I won’t be posting them.

Now I just have to wait for official word that I passed, so I can see what the logo looks like and put it up. Yeah - it is all about the pretty picture.

Hmm - now time to start working on my CMDBA cert… *sigh* - no rest for the wicked.
