1Z0-043 10g Admin II Exam material

Hi all
I've passed my 10g OCA, so gearing up for the 10g OCP exam (1Z0-043).
I will be working from the Watson / Bersinic book, and am also booked on the ADMIN WORKSHOP II 5 day Hands On course. My question concerns marrying up the topics in the book and the course, with what is in the syllabus.
The Hands On course description here:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17312&source_call=#4
..mentions topics relating to Database Security (VPD's), Data Movement (data pump, external tables etc) & VLDB's. By my reckoning Data Movement was covered in the OCA 1Z0-042 exam, and Database Security & VLDB's are not mentioned in the syllabus here, nor are they mentioned anywhere in the Watson book.:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_043#3
I know the syllabus is subject to change, and the Watson book has some crossover in terms of 1z0-042 & 043 material, but this would appear to be a large ommission. Primarily, I wish to ensure that I don't need to revisit data pump, nor cover the Security & Large Database material - the source of which would only appear to be available via the Hands On course / Oracle documentation anyway.
Comments welcome....
Thanks
bt

If a topic is not listed in the topics provided on the exam page (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_043#3), it will not be on the exam.

Thanks.I am a little worried as to how you can take and pass the 1z0-007 without knowing the process or where to look for things.
The best answer you may have is that 1z0-007 was taken online and that the proctored exam is a little different, or maybe you were in some form of education institution and you didnt realise for they set you up.
If you visit the [www.oracle.com/education/certification] support/FAQs currently at
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=82#5Q1A] this should give details.
Quite frankly the process I go through is to go to the prometric website and go through as if I was going to book an exam but cancel out at the point when i had an idea of the availability of exams at close by prometric centers. Some close to me only operate a few days a month, others are available virtually 5 days a week. (All subject to availability).
I presume you have a prometeric ID ?
On the same path can you people please guide me how to prepare for OCA 1Z0-042 exam so i can score the best in it. See [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
Taking Oracle university course is the best preparation method in my opinion. It is however not necessarily the cheapest.

Can i take 1z0-042 (10g admin 1) after 1z0-007 Oracle 9i

Hello ! I have a query about Oracle Certification 10g admin 1 (1z0-042).
I have passed 1z0-007 Oracle SQL 9i in december 28 , 2012.
Now i have decided to complete OCP DBA track in Oracle 10g.
My Questions are,
1. should i need to upgrade?
2. Does1z0-042 complet my OCA ?
3. Will I have a choice to complete OCP by taking 1z0-043 ?
according to this link
Oracle Exam 1Z0-007 Is Being Retired: What Does That Mean to Me?
it's clear that i can take 1z0-042 exam having previous passed1z0-007 (SQL 9i) .
I am just asking this for my complete satisfaction before i am preparing for next exam.
thanks...

1. should i need to upgrade?
2. Does1z0-042 complet my OCA ?
3. Will I have a choice to complete OCP by taking 1z0-043 ?
I'm going to answer these out of order:
2. Yes. Passing 1Z0-042 would make you an Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate.
3. Once you have the 10g OCA, if you pass 1Z0-043 and complete the required hands-on training, you would become an Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Professional.
1. Once you are at step three (i.e. a 10g OCP), you can upgrade to 11g... and soon to 12c. This is good from a career standpoint, but I would not go to the extreme of saying you need to. If it comes to that, you don't need to become certified at all. Certification can help in your career as an Oracle DBA, but it is not a requirement.

1z0-053 11G Admin 2 Exam

Wondered if someone could help, I have a few questions about the OCP exam, 1z0-053 11G Admin 2.
I am using the Oracle Press book by Bob Bryla to study for this exam, but the objectives in the book do not match up to the objectives on the Oracle website. For example, in the book Objective 15.2 is named as Working with Database and NLS character sets. But there is no mention of this objective on Oracle's website.
Also, I am thinking of buying the transcender practice tests. Does anyone have any experience of these? Are they worth the money?
Any other tips about taking the exam would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ok thanks for this.
Does anyone have any transcender experience?
Also, sorry for the vague question but compared to 1z0-052 how much more difficult would you say it was. I passed 1z0-052 fairly comfortably, and I work in app support with apart half my time spent purely on dba work.

1z0-052 11G Admin 1 Exam

Please can i get some feedback on the "difficulty" of the 1z0-052 admin 1 exam? Sometime ago I passed the Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i DBA 1 course, and wondered how it compared to these.
I am using the ORacle Press OCA book, by John Watson, and I have just about passed the practice tests, so also wondered close these are in "difficulty" to the real thing?
Thanks in advance!

As a rule of thumb 'just about passed the practice tests' is probably not good enough.
Its an indicator more study is required.
IMHO a better target is something like to be 85% certain you have an 85% probability of achieving a mark half way between the pass mark and 100%.
For the practice tests to be an reasonable indicator of exam performance:
-- You must not have seen the questions before.
-- You should not have revised immediately before taking the practice test (this applies especially to end of chapter questions).
-- Assume the practice tests are a little easier than the real one and will overestimate you score by 10-15% (though sometimes the quality may be less .. and some asnwers may be more amibiguous). And sometimes the questions may be shorter .

Differences between 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053 and 11g OCP

Hi All
I have a small dilemma
For Christmas I was given a copy of OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide with CD-ROM: Exams 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-All-Guide-CD-ROM/dp/0071629181/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262090730&sr=1-5|http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-All-Guide-CD-ROM/dp/0071629181/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262090730&sr=1-5]
As you will see in the book title it covers 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053
About a year ago I attended the following courses
TT - Oracle D/B 10g Program PL/SQL-QA-IQ
TT - Oracle PL/SQL - GK
TT - Oracle 10g Intro to SQL
I have been meaning to get round to taking my exams and OCA qualification is no problem as I can take 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 using the above book and the knowledge I gained on the course (even though the course was 10g).
But my question surrounds 11g OCP and how it requires instructor led training - now I have done my 10g course but I guess this wont count as an instructor led course for 11g OCP.
If not then im going to need to take the route of 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 to get OCP and 1Z0-050 to upgrade to 11g
So I would ask how safe I would be learning the above mentioned book and taking the 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 exams. I understand there is no accurate answer as it is subjective but if 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053 (11g) knowledge covers 1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043 (10g) knowledge then there should be no problem, right?
I really dont want to have to take the book back or purchase another.
Thanks in advance

RobYour'e thinking sensibly about this. Well done. And the hands on course needs to be considered carefully and I often say this can be deciding factor in planning.
IMHO there is at least 80% commonality between the topics for 1z0-042 AND 1Z0-052 .... and probably similar for 1z0-043 and 1z0-053 whoug I've never directly checked this and there may be a greater divergence there.
Be aware some topics in 1z0-050 will not be covered in the books you have as far as I am aware.
One option you have not considered is taking exams in this order ..... this will give you 10g OCP and 11g OCP. This is wha I did .... but it mainly occured that for me way as the 1z0-053 was fairly delayed into production and I wanted the certificates I could have as soon as possilble .... ie 10gDBAOCP and 11gDBAOCA. I actually did the 1z1-053 beta for my 11g DBA OCP ... cheaper than 1z0-050 as I already had 11g DBA OCA.
1z0-051 1z0-042 1z0-052 1z0-043 1z0-053.
I know you dont want to buy another book, but the 10g ones from Sybex (and associated CDROM's) give a slightly different viewpoint (though they are for 10gR1 and are not updated for 10gR2 topics). IMHO the sybex books can ometimes go a little over the top in some areas. But all these books can contain some errors ... however they do provide an extra set of practice questions. However it is an option for you.
Its worth registering your 10g course as a hands on course as soon as reasonably possible to ensure there are no issues with it (I assume you have attended the course from Oracle University).
Anyway these are my thoughts. But you know your own circumstances and are responsible for your own decisions. Good Luck.

1Z0-043 Oracle DB 10g: Admin II Self Study CD has many errors

Many slides have errors in 1Z0-043 Oracle DB 10g: Admin II Self Study CD. I keep trying to report these to Oracle Education and I am getting the runaround. Does anybody know if in these cases you should answer it wrong like the Self Study CD tells you it should be, or when they grade the test do they really know the correct answer. The most blatant case of this is a slide in the Post Assessment of "ASM and Materialized Views", "Materialized Views", "Distributed Data Technologies". The slide in the Post Assessment has the description "Match the different distributed data technologies with their descriptions". Out of 4 pairs to match, all 4 are wrong compared to what it says in the course material just before it! Please HELP! This is just one example of many errors on this CD. Do you have to answer these questions wrong when you take the test?

Hi,
Please note that the Certification Team does not create the self-study CDs. I am sorry you are having difficulty with these CDs. I can assure you that you should NOT intentionally answer questions incorrectly on the test. The certification tests are not taken directly from training materials.

10g Admin OCA Path- 1Z0-042

Hi all,
I am happy to tell you that I have cleared 1Z0-047 exam. Now I need to prepare for 1Z0-042, I have some queries regarding the same.
1. For 1Z0-047 exam, I studied on my own and could manage to clear the examination (not to boast myself, since I am working, I dint find time to attend classes and also my friend had asked me to study on my own for this exam).
Can I also study for 1Z0-042 on my own and clear the exam or is it required to go for coaching?
2. I am from Bangalore and here except at Oracle University, none of the training institutes will conduct classes in 10g ( I am not sure about this, if anyone knows any training institutes (other than Oracle university) who conduct classes in 10g Admin/1Z0-042 exam and fees being minimal, please reply with the address and phone number).
So can I still opt for Oracle 9i admin classes and write Oracle 10g admin exam?
3. If I study on my own, is the prescribed book by Chip Dawes sufficient?
Regards
Praveen

this seems good.

You can study for ANY Oracle exam on your own. (except perhaps OCM exams, if you get that far you should know what its about yourself).
However for some Certifications you may have to attend an authroized hands-on course from an authorized provided.
This does not affect you with regard to 1z0-042 for 10g DBA OCA; but DOES affect you if you go on for 10g DBA OCP.
2. I am from Bangalore and here except at Oracle University, none of the training institutes will conduct classes in 10g ( I am not sure about this, if anyone knows any training institutes (other than Oracle university) who conduct classes in 10g Admin/1Z0-042 exam and fees being minimal, please reply with the address and phone number).
So can I still opt for Oracle 9i admin classes and write Oracle 10g admin exam?
The simple answer is No. This will not get you a 10g OCP certification (and it wont get you a 9g OCP certification).
If you take a 9i authorized WDP program you will need to take 1z0-031 for your 9i DBA OCA (you already have 1z0-047).
You can then take 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 for your 9i DBA OCP. (A properly AUTHORIZED WDP class from an authorized provider will count as hands-on).
As a 9i DBA OCP you can then take 1z0-040 to attain a 10g DBA OCP with no further hands on courses. (You could also have taken 1z0-042+1z0-043 as an alternative to 1z0-040).
However if you simply pass 1z0-042+1z0-043 and do not present a course from the 10g DBA OCP approved course list you will not receive a 10g DBA OCP certificate.
All the info you need can be had by drilling down from [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=151]
3. If I study on my own, is the prescribed book by Chip Dawes sufficient?
The Dawes authors or part authors many books; I assume in this case you mean the sybex book wrt the 10g DBA OCA exam. This book is probably adequate for the exam, though you are advised also to seek other authorized certification-safe material and traiing and to become familiar with online documentation etc. Please rmember the topics have changed slightly since the book was written, the exam is now 10gR2 based; the book is 10gR1, though changes are not great.
Regards
Praveen
Edited by: user11183889 on Oct 19, 2009 12:14 PMYou have two choices:
1) Locate a suitable authorized WDP program provider, take the classes, and take the 9i DBA exams and to obtain a 9i DBA OCP then take further exam(s) to obtain a 10g DBA OCP.
or
2) Continue taking 1z0-042 and 1z0-043; but be very aware the 10g DBA OCP certification will not be obtained until you attend a hands on class. Please realise this can be expensive so locate courses that may before embarking. Remember that courses such as 10g Dataguard administation are 3 days courses and are cheaper. These are best attended at Oracle University. Also be aware 10g classes are being gradually replaced by 11g classes; so 10g classes may become rarer.
(Please be aware there appear to have been some examples of the WDP programme being delivered badly. You are recommended to try to contact previous students to confirm the course is delivered well by the institute you choose).
Please be aware at a WDP you a limited to a maximum of 6 hours tution a week MAXIMUM.

Oracle 10g Admin-I is done, what next?

Hi,
I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL. Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?
Plz suggest.
Regards

Your question is not really clear. I'm going to take some guesses at what you mean and what you are asking
I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL.I'm guessing that by this you mean that you have passed two Oracle certification exams, presumably:
*1Z0-007     Introduction to Oracle9i SQL*
and
*1Z0-042     Oracle Database 10g: Administration I*
Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II I'm assuming that you are asking if you can take the following exam:
*1Z0-053     Oracle Database 11g: Administration II*
This exam is on a different track than 1Z0-042. The two cannot be combined for any certification.
or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam To complete the Oracle 10G certification, you must pass the following exam:
*1Z0-043     Oracle Database 10g: Administration II*
The exam itself is not instructor-lead, so I don't know what you mean by that. In addition to passing the test, you must attend instructor-lead training. The courses valid for the 10G track can be found here:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#2
and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?Once you have your 10G certification, you can upgrade to having an 11G OCP certification by passing the following exam:
*1Z0-050     Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators*

10G Confirmation Of Exam Passes Needed For OCA Then OCP

Hello
Apologies if this has been asked in another thread.
In order to be allowed to gain 10G OCP do I need to pass these exams in the following order:
1Z0-042 and one of these(1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) to gain OCA first and then 1Z0-043(plus course).
I have passed 1Z0-042 and I was wanting to study for 1Z0-043 next. I have been told that before I can sit 1Z0-043 I would need to complete one of these first(1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051).
Please confirm the right course of action for me.
Thanks

ThanksYou can take the exams in whatever order you like. So if you want to do 1z0-043 then (1z0-007/047/051) as you seem to want to do you can.
So you appear to have been told misinformation ..... however .....
0) If you passed 1z0-042 a very long time ago, dec 2008 from memory, you dont have to do an SQL exam. Certview will show your exemption if you are exempt. And you will already be an 10g DBA OCA.
1) It is IMHO probably far far more sensible to do 1z0-051 or 1z0-007 before continuing with 1z0-043.
--- This is because passing a the SQL will gain you (with you 1z0-042 pass) an 10g DBA OCA. .... and also because good SQL will help with your Oracle Practice and with your OCP study.
--- (An exeption might be if yu just attended a hands on course and wished to study to take the 1z0-043 exam as soon as possilbe after the course).
Important thought is for you to have planned to attend an appropriate Hands on course for your 10g DBA OCP ... its time to think about that if your haven't already.

spBe aware that while someone could give up a training course for RAC, unless that is the Oracle course at the Oracle price it will not be eligible as youe hands on course.
While for people with access to the money using the RAC course as training and for OCP hand course fulfillment is a great choice, quite frankly it probably isnt the right option for those with limited funds.
the RAC course is typically most expensive, howeer some of the 2 or 3 day courses are less expensive, though you might not find them as revelevant. Also half of a huge amount is still a huge amount.
If really needing certification the cheapest route may be to take a 9i WDP DBA program to gain 9i OCP, if money is a big issue that may be a route worth exploring. Gaining the 9i OCP should also then generate the 10g OCP.

I am preparing for this exam Oracle Database 10g: administration1 (1Z0-042). Do you know if this exam only contains multiple-choices questions or does it have some "play" with OEM as well? (where students have to perform certain actions in OEM).

The questions will be multiple choice. You might see questions that show a screen shot of EM.
