1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals 1 Exam Guide Problem with loading HR schema

Question

Hi,
I’m new to Oracle Databases and have started studying with Oracle Press 11g SQL Fundamentals 1 Exam Guide 1Z0-051.
The book is good except the problem I have is the HR schema they talk about is made up off seven tables (Countries, Departments, Employees, Job_History, Jobs, Locations and Regions).
But the HR schema that I get is only made up off 4 tables (Bonus, Dept, Emp, Salgrade).
Can anyone who has used this book please advise what I’m doing wrong and how I can get the correct Schema please.

Answer 1

Hi,
Well I haven't used that book but with whatever little I know , I shall try to attempt the question.
There was an ancient schema for Human Resource, SCOTT which is haivng 4 tables only. Since 9i, there were an introduction of new schemas like HR ( Human Resource), OE( Order Entry) and so on. So the book is referring to that.
Now when you create the database using Database Configuration Assistant, there comes an option with a check box, that do you want to create sample schemas or not? If you select that option, you get all these schemas in your db. If not, you only get the old SCOTT schema.
If you have missed creating these schemas( which I belive is the case) than you need to manually create them. Here is the description for how to create them manually.
