Oracle 1Z0-908 Study Plan (30 / 60 / 90 Days)
Most candidates pass 1Z0‑908 with 70–140 focused hours (faster if you already run MySQL in production).
| Your time |

How to use this plan
- Use the Syllabus as your checklist.
- Build a small lab (local containers are fine): practice user/role setup, backups/restores, and replication.
- Keep a “runbook log”: restore steps, replication failover steps, and the commands you always forget.
