Your essential ticket to "possible" success(depends on individual definition) is your passion, diligence and creativity.

There is no essential certificates to upgrade your skill. Your skill is not backed by certificates, but your capability to deliver.

Anything goes as long as you can learn something from the course and you move either vertically or horizontally from where you are.

Nowadays, a lot of database usage are moving away from Oracle since its price point is normally prohibitively high and other options are priced more attractively even with Enterprise support. On top of that, the industry have large number of database usage moving into NoSQL and NewSQL, so Oracle DB Admin skill set is no longer as critical unless you are wanted in large MNC still heavily entrenched in Oracle products.

Same goes for Java certification. In todays programming langauges availability, you probably will need to have skill sets like C#, Java, PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python to be versatile. Maybe even functional ones like Scala, Haskell, Erlang if you wanna be special. Java is standard in a lot of places and wouldn't give you much leverage over the rest.
