I studying an MCA and preparing for Oracle 10g certification.
I want to ask you whether I should learn a programming language along side this, and if so then which one - .NET or java?
I have relatively little interest in .NET.
Tell me more

Oracle is strategically tied with Java. That said any popular programming language that can connect to an Oracle database is a valid choice :) |

I know it's not the coolest language on the block, but PL/SQL seems like the most appropriate programming language to complement your knowledge of Oracle, considering it's the primary language for database objects. |

Well you can learn a Programming language like Java + any ORM. Hibernate might be useful. |

A good approach is to study Java and use the JDeveloper IDE which is intended for exactly the purpose of coding Java against the Oracle database. |

What's an MCA? If you are going for an OCP, I believe you will need to know PL/SQL. Have a look at a certification book, this one for example has a chapter called "managing data with SQL, PL/SQL and utilities". You can also write stored procedures (within the database) in Java, but I'm not sure how prevalent this is. |
