前段时间很荣幸通过了YEP(Young Expert Program)的审核，成为了其中的一员，当时的一个福利就是赠送一张考试券（人民币价值在1000元左右）,可以参加除了OCM考试之外的所有考试。这个条件确实很诱人，只要你有一定的积累再加上自信就可以， 感兴趣可以试一试。
可以参考下面的项目介绍

言归正传，因为自己有了一张考试券，可以自由选择的时候，自己还是琢磨了下，倒底该考哪个考试，首先在数据库考试的范围内选择，Oracle 11g,12c和MySQL是我备选的考试，最后还是咬了咬牙决定考MySQL lz0-883的考试，自己想挑战一下，想看看除了Oracle的强大体系之下，最流行的开源数据库倒底是怎么样的。在技术上我比较喜欢对比，通过对比能够明白哪些方面Oracle设计的精妙，哪些方面MySQL更加灵活。毕竟是一门考试，不一定能从中得到全部深度的内容，但是我的目标就是学习练习为主，通过考试是一个基本目标。
最后风风火火指定了考试计划之后，就开始准备环境，还是有不少东西值得和大家分享的，毕竟通过考试是最终目标，所以也要好好琢磨琢磨考纲，毕竟从头到尾看完MySQL的官方文档，自己也就醉了。自己也正在看MySQL的一些书，因为白天工作，等自己有足够的时间的时候已经是下班回家吃完饭以后了。所以需要在疲惫和清醒中切换，Oracle和MySQL中切换，写博客和练习中切换。
对于图书，个人还是推荐<<高性能MySQL>>,<>这两本
paul的《MySQL技术内幕>>算是一个工具书和参考手册，对于很多细节分析得很全面，是在基于5.5版本的基础上做的分析。
《高性能MySQL>>以前有几个朋友推荐过，自己看了下，是阿里系的人做的几版翻译，作者是都是percona的人，质量和深度都没得说。准备后续和大家分享下关于事务和锁的内容，看了以后发现Oracle和MySQL中在这方面还是存在着很多的差别。
毕竟时间有限，不能没有重点的学习，官方中找到的考试大纲如下，还附上了一个国外大牛提供的细致帮助，附上了对于某些考纲需要重点去看的官方文档。这个大纲对于自己段时间内掌握重点还是很有帮助的。
还有一点需要说下,毕竟MySQL是一个开源的产品，考试内容更多是自有体系中更多的知识点，不会包括其它开源社区的一些技术细节和产品，所以除了考试大纲中的内容之外，从图书中去补充就是一个很好的方法。
