Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

  • 1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

    Hi,
    I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
    But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
    Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
    I appreciate for your information.
    Thanks
    Amit

    The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

  • Require 10.2.0.2 in Oracle Database 10g release 2 series for XPprofessional

    I am trying to install Oracle Application Server SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.0 on my machine. MY OS is Microsoft Windows XP Professional. I have Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.1.0 on my machine.
    After I give my database information at the time of installation, the Universal Installer throws the following error:
    Database version should be 9.2.0.7 or higher in the Oracle 9i Database Release 2 series, 10.1.0.5 or higher in the Oracle Database 10g release 1 series, Oracle Database XE (10.2.0.1), 10.2.0.2 or higher in the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 series.
    So according to this error, I need 10.2.0.2 or higher in the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 series. Now when I am searching 10.2.0.2 or higher version for Microsoft Windows in Download Section of Oracle Technology Network, I am unable to find it.
    Please tell me where could I find it? Or is there any other solution to this error.
    I need the solution urgently. Please reply.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ashish

    I need the solution urgently. Please reply.Urgent?
    As in it is required for a business functionality, in which the business will gain some advantage through the implementation?
    As in 'needed for production'?
    As in 'requiring a production license for which Support may be purchased'?
    Or perhaps, as in 'needing to evaluate and therefore having contacted Oracle Sales to obtain a Trail License with a temporary Support Agreement'?
    If the version you want is not on the Database Download page and not on one of the links, and IS listed in Oracle Certify as being current, then you need to download patches through your valid Metalink account (based on paid support contract/agreement) to get to that version.

  • Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition

    Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition Suitable for medium sized organization. Actually it supports how many no of concurrent connection, workload??

    Yes, it is suitable for, and is used in many medium sized organizations. It supports as many concurrent connections as possible until the operating system starts paging or swapping. At which time it slows down. I personally have seen it handle 125 concurrent connections.
    You question is like asking 'will a Pentium 4 CPU handle Microsoft Powerpoint?'. And the answer is 'yes, of course'. But what about when you want to run video clips in Powerpoint?
    There is no accurate way of answering your question without understanding the exact workload you plan on generating.

  • Creating a new database in Oracle Database 10g...

    I have downloaded a copy of Oracle Database 10g Express Edition from Oracle's website. I am using Windows XP. I am trying to create an Oracle database that I can connect to from Access 2003 via ODBC.
    1. How do I create a new database? I can see options to create tables, views, etc. but not a database.
    2. I have created a System DSN connection in the ODBC Data Source Administrator for the Oracle ODBC driver. Once I create a database in Oracle, how do I actually establish a connection to it from Access? The ODBC code to connect is there, but when I run it, I get an error.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    1. How do I create a new database? I can see options to create tables, views, etc. but not a database.If you can see those options then you are already connected to the database. You probably want to create a user, not a database (are you by chance coming from SQL Server?)
    driver={OracleDriver};Dbq=TESTDBQ;Uid=Administrator;Pwd=;You would replace "Administrator" with the name of the user you created in the database.

    Hi All
    Installing 10g software on AIX Box in /oracle/oraHome2,where oracle9i is already installed in /oracle/oraHome1 and oracle inventory is in /oracle/inventory
    In product specific prerequisite screen I am getting the

    Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Passed

    Problem: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 can only be installed in a new Oracle Home
    Recommendation: Choose a new Oracle Home for installing this product
    though I am installing it in different oracle homes why i am getting this error?
    Is it because 10g installation is picking the same oracle inventory /oracle/inventory
    do i need to make different oracle inventory for different oracle homes???????plz confirm..is thats the reason i am getting this error??????
    Thanks inadvance
    Gagan

    I figure out you are trying to install 10gR2 on top of an existing 9iR2 Oracle Home. This is corrected at the Path definition window. Most probably you just click on the <Next> and by default the 9iR2 Oracle Home was selected. You must define a new oracle home for the 10gR2 install.

  • Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

    Hi,
    Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
    You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
    You could compress your tables.
    If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
    Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.

  • Oracle Database 10g JDBC Samples on OTN

    Review the OTN's new Oracle Database 10g JDBC Samples that illustrate new features introduced with Oracle10g JDBC Driver. The features illustrated are Connection Cache, Named Parameter Support, IEEE Datatypes, Thin Driver support for PLSQL Index by Tables and Web Rowset. Also watch out for samples on Datalinks, New Encryption Algorithms, Globalization Support, Shortcuts for CLOB manipulation and more to be hosted shortly.
    The samples are available at,
    http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/oracle10g/index.html

    I suppose that is nice.
    It would be even nicer if the drivers actually conformed to JDBC so that one could for example reliably use blobs in a J2EE server with CMP.

    so i am interested in these Certification. It is good to get certified. I'm not sure if you are aware of that there's also an OCA PL/SQL Developer. http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155
    But of cause if you want to learn more DBA stuff then the OCA DBA is a good thing to prepare with.
    For both certifications you need to pass two exams. The first is an SQL exam which is identical for both OCAs. The second one is a PL/SQL exam for the OCA Developer and an Adminsitartion exam for the OCA DBA.

    SQLDeveloper 3.0 production is supplied with the thin driver 11.2.0.2
    it needs 11.2.0.2 version to use thick which has a few additional features over thin.
    To avoid confusion with other Oracle software you can set the ORACLE_HOME in the session you start sqldeveloper in as described below:
    The version mismatch is often because SQLDeveloper is trying to use the 'thick' driver and 11.2.0.2 thick is not available,
    try
    thin by:
    1/(uncheck Tools->preferences->Datababae->advanced->use OCI/thick driver, and
    2/If necessary, set ORACLE_HOME for your cmd.exe session where sqldev is started from to where sqldeveloper is where %ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib exists, (so SQLDeveloper does not try your existing ORACLE_HOME) and
    3/If using connection type TNS, use Connection Type TNS -> Network Alias.
    4/You may need to set Tools->preferences->Datababase->advanced->Tnsname directory to the directory containing tnsnames.ora
