Please read:
1) The forum faq (announcment stickey post at he top of this forum) [http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=794]
2) The certification blog on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39]
3) The oracle certifiaction site has lots currently on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39]
(View all certifications and drill down to a certifaction or exam), you should be able to find the exam topics.
4) Search in this forums for posts on 1z0-051.
5) If you are serious about Oracle also take time to become familar with the Oracle Technology website [http://www.oracle.com/technology] which has links to documentation and tutorials and other resources.
6) IMPORTANT: Some 'online docs' you may find, or are directed to, or may be offered (particularly braindumps), may be unauthorised materials and using them could end up with you losing credit for any exam/certification you may take.
Hopefully you will find these references and places to search useful.

Training for 1z0-051?

Hello all,
I have a requirement by my employer to achieve Oracle Certification. I passed 1z0-052 last week after studying off and on for the last year and a half. Next up is 1z0-051 or 061.
Fortunately my employer is funding a training class for this exam. We have 11g in our environment, so it is the 051/052 track I started on. I noticed on the 051 exam page that the recommended training is no longer offered. I'm planning to take the training class linked from the 061 page (Oracle Database 12c: Introduction to SQL Ed 1.1). Is this adequate/sensible training for the 051 exam? Or should I scrap 051 in favor of 061? I see that either will count towards OCA/OCP.
I am speaking out of honest ignorance here, but it seems that the material covered for 061 is completely applicable to 051. Any sage advice for me? Am I off track in my assessment?
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
-Alan

The 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-061 exams have about a 95% commonality in topics. The 'Introduction' section was added to 1Z0-061 and the 'Creating other schema objects' section that was in 1Z0-051 has been removed in 061. As such, the 061 training should prepare you for the vast majority of the 1Z0-051 exam.
That said -- there is no reason not to simply take the 1Z0-061 exam if that's what you are taking the training for anyway. I generally consider picking one over the other to be largely a toss up. Last week someone had the Oracle Press book for 1Z0-051 and was asking about taking 061. I suggested going with 051 since they had the study materials for it. In your case, the opposite applies, so I would suggest that the 1Z0-061 exam would probably be the (slightly) better choice.

Certification topics for 1z0-051

I am preparing for the SQL fundamental exam 1z0-051. I am following the book :"OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) " by Biju Thomas.
Question: The exam topics in Oracle's certification website do not indicate subtopics. eg. Group functions is a topic listed but are sub-topics such as ROLLUP and CUBE part of the certification?
Thanks in advance.

Sir
i am also preparing for this and want to sit for it at the September end.
[amazon link|http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Database-Osborne-ORACLE-Press/dp/0071498508/ref=pd_sim_b_3] is this book enough for iz0-051??
can you refer a sybex book for this,so that can tally the explanations?...............
For anyone who has SQL experience, or has studied SQL as part of a WDP, or has a general SQL book already then either of the two books (+ their associated practice test in book and on CDROM should be adequate for 1z0-051:I did not get any testkit CDROM forr 007 even.as i am under WDP for 9i.
* ISBN-13: 978-0071597869: OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press)i found 2008 edition in our local market.so ISBN no. did not match.
* ISBN-13: 978-0470395127: OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) (Sybex)this book (probably written by Biju Thomas).
The first is usually cheaper, the second while more expensive also covers 1z0-052. I have seen the first book and it is adequate ; and I know of no reason why the second should not be adequate too. While for the self studying for OCA/OCP 10g/11g candidates i somtimes hint to people they should consider getting both Oracle Press and Sybex books; for this exam i tend to think this is not so necessary for most people.
wrt the book you referenced:
* ISBN-13: 978-0071498500: Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)
This book is designed to cover 11g SQL in general. It is more orientated towards learning and reference. While not tied to an exam it does probably cover most (if not all) topics needed for 1z0-047. Probably most professionals would find it as easy to look up oracle documentation most of the time. I actually have it, mainly because I it was an easy way for me to get a grip on the newer ANSI join forms whcih I am less useful. I cant say its not useful, but certainly some people would find it of limited use and others are quite happy with it.This book still to come in local market(india).
Thanx.whatever..........but remember this sybex books have very little hands on practice.ie.hardly you will find a query that is left for your practice.All of questions in MCQ basis.

Certainly you can. It's available from Amazon:

As to how helpful it is -- I cannot review my own book. It is impossible to be objective. Whether you purchase it or not, I do recommend using the links to freely available study materials available at the companion website for that exam:

Forums and Books for 1Z0-051 Certification Test

I am starting to read my Certification book from Oracle Press on test 051, SQL.
What other forums or websites will I find helpful for this effort? I mean both Oracle approved and non-official Oracle forums. I am interested also in non-offical forums so people can say uncensored or candid things about the test or the products.
A good answer would be a list of the forums here on the Oracle website that will help as well as some websites or forums not on this website that are good for test 051 and the material I need to know.
I also want to know what certification books or manuals cover this material or test? Are there some other popular certification books for test 1Z0-051? Which Oracle manuals cover this material? Again a good answer would be a list of books and a list of manuals.
I read somewhere that the online Oracle Library now costs to access. Is this true? I am on a strict budget.
I read something about Oracle products on this website but as you might expect they only list Oracle products or approved products.

The main problem one has in doing certification training is avoiding unauthorized learning material (A lot of web searching will lead to braindumps which are bad).
Obviously the SQL forum will help.

Find the SQL reference under http://docs.oracle.com

If you are talking about http://docs.oracle.com this is free
I read something about Oracle products on this website but as you might expect they only list Oracle products or approved products.Proably what you need to be looking for is getting Oracle XE downloaded to your local machine, possibly in a virutal machine, virtualbox, vmware server. You will need specific linux versions, xp pro or vista business.
Visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html .. oracle XE is currently there as a top download.

Online exam about 1Z0-051

Hi,
After preparing for 3 weeks, I would like to take an exam in 1Z0-051.
I prepared through 1Z0-051 exam guide. Is it enough to study for an exam or anyother oracle guide may need to take exam?
I need some practice tests also. So, please suggest me, for practice tests.
What are the procedures to take exam 1Z0-051 in home?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The exam guide comes with a practice test that you can do. There is also a 10 question sample on the exam page (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=303&p_certName=SQ1Z0_051). Assuming you score highly (80%~) on both of those at the first attempt (doesn't count when you already know the answer) then I'd say you're ok to take it.
You can book the exam from Pearson Vue's website: http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/
If you're taking it from home then you specify "non-proctored" and go through the steps from there.

Studying for 1Z0-051, months_between issue

Hi guys I'm working through SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide and exercise 4-3 runs this query:
SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID, LAST_NAME, HIRE_DATE
FROM EMPLOYEES
WHERE MONTHS_BETWEEN('01-JAN-2000',HIRE_DATE)>100;
Looking at my sample HR schema the earliest hire_date is 2001 so the results come back with nothing. However if I change the date to '01-JAN-1960' I still get nothing, is there a problem with the query?
Many thanks
Mike

MikeIMHO it is inappropriate to ask about individual topics in this forum. IMHO It is better asked in the SQL forum. This forums is more about the infrastructure, processes and procedures of Oracle Certification.
There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that discussion can lead toward exam questions being published. I have seen this happen on a number of occasions, sometimes the orignal is no really a problem ... then braindump extracts and copyright breach material is posted in the same or another thread.
The other reason is that there are a really wide spread of oracle certifications, the 1z0-051 may well be one of hte most common certiifcation exams, but it is one of perhaps about a hundred or so certification exams offered.
Also worth a check is : http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?isbn=0071597867
NB: Having said that my bucket and shovel approach is when working with these things is not to rely on an implicit character to date conversion but to ensure I am using an explicit character to date conversion and see what happens with that.

Study source for 1Z0-051 exam Oracle11g SQL Fundamentals certification

Greetings,
What are some good sources for this exam that are legit. I have the OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam guide, read the whole section regarding SQL and have practiced the test questions until I scored 100% multiple times. Yet (with all humility), I failed the exam. I don't want to cheat and will keep trying until I pass it the right way! I'm going to keep studying the areas I need to really master., but I noticed that the real Exam was nothing like the practice exam. For me, the real exam was a lot trickier and there were a few questions that the book didn't cover. The guy working at the test center recommended testking but upon further research, some sites consider using testking as cheating. I have not purchased any new study guides and would like feedback to some legit study guides. Is the transcender study guide legit and worth it? Please pardon me if this question has been asked a dozen times. I will scour the forums for more info regarding this but also wanted some direct feedback.
Thank you,
A mon

Rene,
Thanks for the link and the advice. Very helpful! And yes, it got to the point where I knew some of the answers before I finished reading the questions.
Thanks,
A monI was going to say possibly the cheapest way is buy the sybex Book : ISBN-13: 9780470395127 which is like the Watson Book ... but it isn't that cheap andalso coves 1z0-052 which you don't need.
( Selftest Sofware is reputed to be good, Transcender a little better (they are both Kaplan Brans and overlap common material). Ucertify may be cheapter but quality may be less. And make sure you get the right site and not a phishing link pretending to be them.
.... wsa it you who i said to try the exam and see where you were really at ? .. if so sorry and better luck next time. Perhaps though it is an opportunity to revise study technique.
See: http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/question_of_the_day_how_to_pre
.... Doing your own flash cards and notes can be useful.
I always regard practice questions as precious and leave it as late as possible in study before doing questions.
(If you must peek ahead choose a chapter just before half way through the book and do end of chapter questions for that only).
But I won't even do end of chapter practice questions until I think I know the whole exam topics and have notes on all the material.
Only when I think I know it all will I do even end of chapter questions.
And I wont do them if I have read up on the topics during the day. I will wait until the next day.
And after doing end of chapter results I re-read the chapter and topics and practice. But I wont redo those questions for a few days
And only when I get good enough practice score from the chapter do I take a full practice test.
Basic principle is concentrate on learning and use the precious study ids to fill the gaps. It's a little slower getting there that way but these is more chance of a pass.

Anyone appeared for 1Z0-051 in last 6 months ?

Hi,
I am planning to take the above exam next week. I wanted to know has anyone appeared for this exam of late and can share some tips or experience about this?
Thanks
Prachi

I hope you have checked below link for exam details :
Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1080544&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_051
About sharing tip, as you have said you are following advice by Billy then I think its great. Passing any exam or interview is a one thing, doing the job as DBA or developer is totally different one and having the knowlede / experience is another. These 3 aspects don't have any 1 to 1 or 1 to many relationship.
- Remove any fear or fobia of exam. Just enjoy the exam.
- In first attempt, try to solve all those questions which are are easy to you.
- Read the question carefully, understand it and intelligent try to choose the correct answer(s) from given options.
- OCA 10g IZO-042 , Practicing exam, tips to get good score
- Trust upon yourself (but don't over confidence). Think that I have done hard work and success is encapsulated with the hardworking only.
- If you have completed the exam, review doubtful marked question in remaining time.
Wishing you all the Best !

Pls suggest a reason for a compile time error

the following program gives a compile time error bcoz of the statement
((State)this).val=this.val. if u could suggest why?
public class Mainc
public static void main(String args[])
State st=new State();
System.out.println(st.getvalue());
State.Memento mem= st.memfunc();
st.altervalue();
System.out.println(st.getvalue());
mem.restore();
System.out.println(st.getvalue());
public static class State
protected int val=11;
int getvalue()
     return val;
void altervalue()
     val=(val+7)%31;
Memento memfunc()
     return new Memento();
class Memento
     int val;
Memento()
     this.val=state.this.val;
     void restore()
          ((State)this).val=this.val;
}

The statement :
((State)this).val
tries to cast Memento into its super class State which is inorrect [former is not latter's subclass]
restore method should be as follows:
void restore()
State.this.val=this.val;
}

Pls suggest Online docs for 1Z0-051
