Difference Between SCWCD and Newly Launched Oracle Certification 1Z0-899

[Piyush Gajjariya]

Hi Guys,

I was planning to give SCWCD exam.

Now finding corresponding oracle certification for SCWCD, i am bit confused about which oracle certification maps to SCWCD.

Does newly launched oracle certification (1Z0-899) is corresponding mapping for SCWCD ?

Also what is difference in 1Z0-899 exam and SCWCD sun exam?

I have already given OCP (SCJP) exam.

Please guide me.

Thanks,
Piyush
