A course can never substitute the knowledge and experience gained by getting your hands really dirty.
You can already get your hands dirty with RAC - using nothing but a PC and Vmware. Or DataGuard. Or create a database, grab the Backup manual and start playing with RMAN as you manually trash db files and create problems that needs to be dealt with by recovery. And while doing this type of thing, you will get to know Oracle a lot better and more intimately than in a lab environment.
Courses are good. But when I interview an applicant that have been on a PL/SQL course and have very little experience, versus one that has not been on a course, is self taught PL/SQL, and can actually provide meaning answers when asked about bulk processing for example.. I would tend to prefer the latter.
My suggestion is not to solely focus on courses and doing one after the other as quickly as possible... but use the knowledge provided by a course and turn that into experience.. It will last longer that way and improve your skills above those that attended the course with you and did not turned that into experience.

To enquire about oracle courses

Hi
Could anybody please tell me about the best institutes that offer below courses in hyderabad India
Oracle DBA 11g
RAC
Linux
thanks in advance

No institute AFAIK is authorized to teach 11g yet except OU. And given the fact that I travel too often to hyd, I would suggest that you talk to OU sales rep on 1800 425 8877 , +91 80 4108 4709 and check how can you get the best training experience.
That said, this is not the right forum to discuss this matter. You should have asked the same over Certification forum.

Oracle course to learn more about BI functions

Hi,
Do you know if there is any Oracle course specific about BI functions?
Aggregate Functions
Running Aggregate Functions
String Functions
Math Functions
Calendar Date/Time Functions
Conversion Functions
System Functions
Operators
Expressions
Literals
I know how to build simple reports, but when it comes to use the above functions, I find it difficult.
Maybe somebody can suggest a good book too?
Thanks and Regards
G.

Feedback about official Oracle courses

This is duplicate thread from Feedback about official Oracle courses
I've become official Oracle [url http://gplivna.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-experience-ive-completed-my-first.html]course trainer recently. It was nice experence.
However in my very first course as a trainer I've found at least one incorrectness I'd like to report. The question however is - whom to report?
Obviously this public forum is not the right place.
Unfortunately there wasn't any feedback address (except snail mail) on course materials and my course organizer also could not help. I'd prefer some faster (and easier to perform) communication methods than snail mail, for example, some e-mail address... :)

Do you have access to OU Resource Center? If yes, check the Readiness Materials > OIG for general corrections that have been sent in already.
In any case, contact me at fuzzy.greybeard at gmail.com - we have a small 'third party instructor' distribution list that I am trying to expand.

Pay for oracle courses on your own ?

Hello,
i wanted to ask you if anyone of you would pay for oracle training courses (which are about ~ 2.400 € here for ~ 5 days) on your own if your current employer refuses to pay for them and you would like to improve your chances on the job market.

[...] if your current employer refuses to pay for them
and you would like to improve your chances on the job market.I can see two sides to this situation...
If you are about to implement a technology (something like Dataguard or RAC) that's new to you then your employer should be providing you with the opportunity to develop the skills you are going to need. Whether that is through a knowledge transfer from colleagues, self training (such as CBTs or books) or attending a training course really depends on the situation (time, budget, opportunity, etc). If your employer isn't willing to do anything then you aren't getting the support you need from them to do your job properly and you need to decide whether that means it's time to move on or not.
Equally, your employer is not obliged to help you to 'improve your chances on the job market'. I've worked with people before who have been entirely unable to comprehend why our employer wouldn't send them on a week-long training course for a technology we not only didn't use but which we would almost certainly never use.
As for your specific question - no, I can't say that I would pay for Oracle courses myself. For one thing, I can't afford it... but even if I could, I think that reading the manuals (and maybe a good book or two) whilst sitting at a test system is probably a better use of five days.
Don't get me wrong - I've been on plenty of Oracle courses and think they are great. If my employer wants to spend £2k then I won't say no... but if I were paying myself I'd find it hard to balance up the cost with what I get out of it.

Problem about oracle

     Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
                    stmt.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE Students");
                    stmt.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE Students" +
                     "(StdNumber NUMBER primary key, StdName VARCHAR2(20),StdSurname VARCHAR2(20),Courses VARCHAR2(15), Year VARCHAR2(15),Semester VARCHAR2(5), Grades REAL )" );
                  stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO Students" +
                     "VALUES (1234,'Sezgin','Zeka','Kimya','2002-2003','I',4.00)" );
                  ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Courses FROM Students WHERE stdNumber = 1234");
                    while(rs.next())
                     System.out.println(">>> " + rs.getString("Courses"));
                 }catch(Exception ex) {
                    System.out.println("Error: " + ex);
                 }Dear friend i have a problem about oracle. When i execute this code ( i have only written releated code part about my problem ) there is an error like this: Error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword
Thanks for your help

Can you explain much more. Because i have no idea.
ThanksYou know, if you did like every decent programmer does and instead of writing
}catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error: " + ex);
}wrote
}catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}then you could see which statement is faulty.

ABOUT ORACLE TUTORIAL

Am new to oracle.?can anyone please give me a brief idea about oracle.

Can you please tell me the diffrence between
"developer" and "Database Administration DBA"The biggest difference is probably:
- The DBA has a database
- The Developer uses a database
Other differences:
- The DBA is the person who carries backup tapes to the safe room.
- The Developer never does that.
- The DBA is the one who tells the Developer that he cannot have a login for the server OS
- The Developer is the one who just wants to use server side utils, like tkprof
- The DBA is the one who tells the Developer that synonyms are harmful
- The Developer is the one who uses them to encapsulate remote objects
- The DBA is the one who thinks roles are broken since all privs must be known at compile time
- The Developer is the one who must give up on using roles, since he cannot create them
- The DBA is the one who tells the Developer not to care about tablespaces while ordering him to use separate index tablespaces
- The Developer couldn't care less and knows about the myths
- The DBA is the one who complaints about full table scans
- The Developer sometimes design for partition pruning
- The DBA is the one who pokes around in a Toad gui when administering HIS database
- The Developer develops scripts
- The DBA reviews the Developers work, and tells him it's too complicated
- The Developer develops more scripts (Equally complicated)
- The DBA answers questions in General forum
- The Developer answers questons in PL/SQL forum
All out of memory, and of course more nonsense could be written.
Maybe not funny, but I'm sure you get my point:
Being qualified to handle a technology has nothing to do with job title.
It has everything to do with level of education, experience, interest and care.
Just passing through, trolling.
Happy week-end ;)

A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

Dear all,
I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

[ask] about oracle sql injection and escalation

Hello,i'm student , i'm studying oracle,now i want to research about oracle sql injection,i had read some tuttorial such as *'Hacking Oracle From Web,Advanced SQL Injection In Oracle Databases,Oracle Hacker HandBook ...'* but when i try to demo on localserver (11.0.1.6) but not run,and this is my demo
-- first,i created table users
create table users (name nvarchar2(50),pass nvarchar2(50))
-- then i created procedure with system user
create or replace procedure system.adduser(u nvarchar2,p nvarchar2)
as
begin
insert into users values(u,p);
end;
-- grant execute privilege to oc user
grant execute on adduser to oc
-- login with user oc and create a procedure
create or replace procedure sqli
as
begin
execute immediate 'grant dba to oc';
end;
-- and then,i run system's procedure
declare
begin
system.adduser('admin','admin'' ; execute immediate ''declare begin sqli() end;');
end;
i hope oracle master help me to i can understand and improving my knowledge
Thanks

The best forum for this is probably Forum Home » Java » SQLJ/JDBC
Presumably you are refering to oracle.sql.TIMESTAMP. While this is intended to (and does) correspond to java.sql.Timestamp it can't be a subclass because it needs to be a subclass of oracle.sql.Datum.

Can we have everything about Oracle in one drive?

Hello, everybody,
We got a backup database server. Since it is just for backup, we don't want to spend too much $ on this one.
My question is: can we have everything about Oracle installled in the same drive?
It means that Archive, Redo Logs, Oracle system itself, the data, etc will be loaded into one single drive.
Is that OK?
Any input will be highly appreciated?
thx.

It means that Archive, Redo Logs, Oracle system itself, the data, etc will be loaded into one single drive.Here's a piece of advice though, partition it to look like your prod server... it will make life much easier when moving datafiles.

Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.

Hi,
I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
Thank you so much.

If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
Hope this helps.
