You may get a job after without achieving Pl/sql developer OCA
You may fail to get a job after achieving Pl/sql developer OCA
You may fail to get a job after without achieving Pl/sql developer OCA
There are several factors involved in getting a job. And there are several ways a job may be obtained. But usually there are there stages:
- Stage Zero: A company but has a job to offer.
- And you need to be aware of it. - A friend may tell you, or an agency may tell you. And it must suit you for location and remuneration etc.
- Stage one: An interview is obtained with the company.
- Stage two: The job is offered to you rather than anyone else and you find it acceptable.
So ... to your question:
"Can i get a job after getting certified in Oracle Associate Pl/sql developer?"
Well .... there is only three possible answers ... yes, no, and maybe; and maybe is probably the only correct answer, and most people will have worked this out, which means the question may have not been the best question to have asked.
(( That said I now read the title of the thread and it says: Re: Will Oracle pl/sql certification help me get IT job)
I have been known on occasion to have been given a question by a boss.
And I have answered him:
"You have given me the wrong question
The question you should have answer me is this.
And the answer I will give you is this."
And the boss goes away happy
So you you a better question would have been:
How much will an OCA PL/SQL certification increase my chances of getting a job?
Mind you even that question won't help you get a much better answer.
For a proportion of jobs where PL/SQL is relevant that will help (for those where it is not it might be occasionally be a problem), for people with identical CV's it sometimes might help get to interview stage. But there are other factors as well. For instance if I was thinking of giving you a job on the basis of your post I might for example:
- Not be impressed with an "Hello Guys" greeting ( though this is a forum so that isn't relevant here).
- Not be impressed with you being confused.
- etc.
You probably need to get a good appreciation of the job market in your locality; and the numbers of applicants for each job. Which jobs you can apply for, what is your skillset and knowing youself as well.
Sometimes an ITIL certification may be a better differentiator for some positions in business. But it will depend on the job you can think you can get.

* I am sure we both agree on the certification study journey and knowledge gained being more important than the end certificate (except perhaps the certificate is needed for job interview or OPN partner points)
* wrt 1z0-051 .... Taking a test that doesn't provide a certification is even more pointless.
... IMHO it may a have little value to some
[1] ... they can still say exam passed on CV .... maybe that helps get a job.
[2] it is chance to gain experience of certification exams ... 1z0-047 is a tough introduction to certification exams.
[3] It is a chance to get a quicker certification exam 'win'
[3] It is a cheaper exam (as it it online available and not 'high stakes' ... ie does not give a certifcation by itself).
.... 1z0-051 is about 2/3 the cost of 1z0-047
But I am willing to accept this is a perhaps a small set of positives; and thier may be no point for many.
I really don't like the fact that anyone wanting an Oracle (Enterprise Edition) SQL certification (without PL/SQL) has to go for SQL OCE. An earlier certification would be better.
I generally like the CIW Database Design Specialist: (Exam 1D0-541) content .....
I would certainly modify my earlier idea of 1z0-047 having as a pre-requisite an earlier SQL exam / certification as a pre-req ....
And would certainly have 1z0-051 or CIW Database Design Specialist: (Exam 1D0-541) on the pre-req list ...
( There are precedents for non-oracle exams/certs being acceptable in lieu of an oracle exam .... eg LPIC-1 for 1z0-402 )
( There is however IMHO no precedent for an OCE exam having another exam as a precedent ).
.... Apologies to original poster .... I may have sidetracked your orginal question with a slight debate.

2. Will Oracle Apps in Supply Chain Mangmnt will help me get a job which is more of client facing and traveling?
3. Should I go for MBA Operations or MBA Marketing. And will 2yrs MBA help me or 1 yr will do the needful to work as a Oracle Apps Functional?
At the end i would like to end up as an Oracle Apps Functional consultant but i am not sure which stream will help me.
Thanks

Mac Pro will not Boot...Help!!!

I have a Mac Pro with 4x500GB in RAID 10, well earlier today during normal use my system locked up and I couldn't select force quit or anything my system just sat there frozen and unresponsive. After about 5 minutes I decided to just hold in the power button and reboot.
Well now when the system boots I get the nortmal grey apple screen and spinning circle thing and after about 1 min I hear each hard drive shut down and the system then turns off.
I tried holding down the shift key to boot into safe mode but it will not work.
Please help me get my system back up and running.

OK well that worked, I shut down the system, pushed disks 2 and 4 back into place, powered back on, logged in and everything looks as it should.
Well that wasn't too bad, now to get my external data backup in place, I have put that off for too long .

How can we know how many processors are enough to buy?
I know that each SQL Server edition and version has it's different limitation of the number of processors it can support, for example SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition can support up to 4 sockets or 16 cores per SQL Server Instance, but this does not mean
that I have to buy 4 physical CPUs. two could be enough. how can I know?
This is off topic question how can we answer it. We even dont have any knowledge about your application.
Please speak to licensing specialist about servers and cores below link will give you more information.

Is it possible to get ....OCA and Oracle certified SQL expert ...together ?

Hie there everyone ...
i have a little question puzzling me ...
just today i passed my , Oracle DataBase 10g Administration I --- ( 1Z0-042 ) ... on my way for OCA certification.
But now , as it required another exam to get certificate and this is my question ...
Which Exam is more preferred for this ?? ... at present oracle is offering 4 exams ...
1. 1z0-001 ... introduction to oracle: Sql and Pl/Sql
2. 1z0-007 ... Introduction to oracle 9i ( i like 10g more so , i prefer to not to go backwards )
3. 1z0-047 ... Oracle DB SQL expert ( my choice )
4. 1z0-051 ... Oracle DB 11g : SQL fundamentals
now when i was looking at these options , i come to know that , if i give exam 1Z0-047 ... i can get individual certificate as ORACLE DB Certified SQL EXPERT ...
SO , my question is ... if i go for 1Z0-047 , will i get 2 certificates ?? i means , as i have already cleared 2 exams for OCA_ ... and another for passing this 1Z0-047 as a ORACLE DB CERTIFIED SQL EXPERT ??_
can i hit two birds with one stone ??
please if someone can answer/confirm it asap ... so i can give that exam in next weekend ( i've already prepared for it ) ...
thanks in advance for any help ...

oh my god. this whole thing is making me confused too!
if i go for this 047 exam then will i be an OCE or OCA??
if PASS(1z0-047) then Awarded SQL Certified Expert OCE;
But DIFFICULTY(1z0-047) > MAX(DIFFICULTY(1z0-051,1z0-007)) !
But Cost(1z0-047) > Cost(1z0-051,1z0-007) -- But not by much
and pls tell me what is the basic difference between all the exam options we have to become an OCA, particularly between exams 051 and 047 ?
since i am working in forms 6i , reports and pl/sql which exam would be better for me? and ya i am already working as a developer so have practical knowledge in sql so preapring for the courses would'nt be much a difficulty for me.
so pls suggest me which exam would suit me the best. thanksI your other post as well and nearly was to make this suggestion to you the you look at PL/SQL Developer Certifications. Because they match your current experience they will always help you in moving jobs.
You can also find studying for them will help your current work.
I would suggest 1z0-051 first. It ensures your up to some 11g features and will but you can learn new things on the way. It also gets you used to taking a prometric exam. It can be done online, you if you search other posts I give some reasons why I think this is not so good for most people. Others might argue 1z0-007 is an easier exam to take as you may be familiar with all constructs.
Some people plump straight for 1z0-047. You have to know a fair bit about analytic functions for this so its not trivial. But you do get a certificate for passing the exam, and as Jack shows it can be done. But its a harder exam.
PL/SQL OCA ought to be well within your grasp too. You have the choice of 1z0-147 or 1z0-144 (current in beta as 1z0-144, a long exam, but currently very cheap). From other posts you will see I dont think highly of 1z0-147, and quite frankly you wont learn a lt studying for it. 1z0-144 is the more recent exam and has more interesting topics and I think I'd advise who to aim for that (and if you take the beta exam you get some respect for me from trying it!). But certainly take one other exam at a prometric center before taking a beta!

Oracle SQL-92 Non compliance: When will oracle support empty strings?

Oracle is the only database on the planet that equates an empty string to a null value. For several major versions, Oracle has said "Make sure you don't rely on null and empty string equivalency because it could go away in the future." When will Oracle get with it and support this aspect of the SQL-92 standard (not to mention mathmatical logic)?

You log enhancement requests through Metalink.
The procedure is documented in Metalink document 166650.1 as follows:
How to Log an Enhancement Request:
Create a new Service Request in MetaLink.
On the Create a SR - Brief Description screen, in the Type of problem field, select Enhancement Request.
Important factors to remember when filling out the Enhancement Request Service Request template and creating the Service Request:
Fully describe why the current product functionality does not meet your needs.
Explain in detail the enhancement you would like implemented
If possible, describe how the product can be changed to achieve the desired results.
Describe your business expectations. Include key milestone dates and justifications as to why this request is so important and the benefits your organization stands to gain should this request be accepted.
Once your Service Request has been created, it will be assigned to a Support Engineer who will validate your information. In some cases, your request may be a new or known product defect that the Support Engineer can either provide a fix, a workaround, or introduce to Oracle Development for resolution. In other cases, you may be presenting a valuable product enhancement that can improve Oracle product functionality. In all cases, the Support Engineer will be able to qualify your request and pass along the information to Oracle Development.
Once the Support Engineer validates your request, and an agreed upon action plan is created, your Support Engineer will create a new Enhancement Request and provide you with an Enhancement Request tracking number. The BUG search tool on MetaLink can then be used to receive status updates.
Please note that the Support Engineer will close the SR once the enhancement has been logged.

Installing Oracle 8i and Forms 6i Messes up SQL PLUS HELP PLEASE!!!

I have Win2K, originally I had Oracle 8i (home was "orant"), and I was able to connect to oracle through SQL PLUS. Then I installed the Forms 6i (downloaded version from OTN) on separate home , and I couldn't invoke forms, so I copied tnsnames.ora from 8i to forms' directory, and I lost connection with oracle sqlplus.
I then re-installed first forms on "orant" and then 8i on "ornat\ora8i" and I still cannot connect sqlplus. I have homeworks due, and cannot afford to go to lab late nights, so please help me!!!

hI,
I have the problem backward!
I created a profile then assigned it to the user, then I launched the apps thr the browser, it worked prompting the message "...password will expire in 3 days..."
Now I reassigned the Default profile back to the user which does not expire the password, launched the apps again it still prompted that password warning message! I even deleted the profile that was first created, still got the warning.
I tried to do it alter user in SqlPlus but not able to connect to database using the same System account as Sysdba (used to connect in Enterprise Console successfully), received error :Insufficient Privileges.
What is wrong ? Thanks.

Help! I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8 my iphoto is having problems. It will not open properly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. My iphoto is iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52) What should I do to make it work properly?

Help! I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8. My iphoto is having problems. It will not open properly. All I get is the little wheel going around and around. My iphoto is: iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52). What do I need to do to remedy this? I recently installed InstallMac. I don't want this on my computer. I don't know how to get it off. I'm afraid that is what scrogged my iphoto. Can anyone tell me how to correct this situation?

Re: iPhoto:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Wow, wonderful! I'm back on the OS X side of my computer and that's a good thing, THANK YOU!! My next question, if you can help, why did that happen the first place and what can I do to prevent it from happening again? I would be grateful for any insight you might offer.
I gave you the link to the Boot Camp documentation, read it carefully, mistakes in BC can have serious consequences.
If you have not yet backed up your Mac, DO IT NOW.
