1z0-147 preparation

Hi All,
I just gave my 1z0-051 exam and passed with 100%. I prepared for that exam from Sql Fundamentals Exam guide from Oracle. Now I want to go ahead and give my 1z0-147 in a month. I have an enquiry on where to prepare from for the exam. I did not find any book dedicated to this exam from Oracle. Could you please suggest on the name of the book that i can go ahead with.
Thanks in Advance.

The first one (Programming, 4th Ed) is the one you want. The rest are excellent but best delayed if on a budget.
In my opinion, almost all of the 'exam study' books have some deficiency. If you want to use those, consider getting TWO and comparing. If two have a difference, you know that is an area you need to look at Oracle's docs or ask in the forums. If they are the same, chances are high that they are correct - or you've hit one of the common myths. (A good DBA is always on the verge of total paranoia. Trust no one. Believe nothing. They ARE out to get you.)
Also consider getting an official Oracle course on CD Rom for self-study. Much less expensive than instructor led, and - if not correct - at least it will be consistent with the exams.
(ANd yes, there are errors in the exams as well. Mostly because the exams make some assumptions about the environment. We all know about assumptions, don't we ...)

  • Re: OCA 1Z0-147

    Hi! This is Agnit Chatterjee! I have completed the OCA 1Z0-007 exam a couple of days back and now looking forward to the preparation of the OCA 1Z0-147 exam. Wanted to know whether or not there is any time limit starting from the day of giving the first OCA exam within which I should give the second exam? I mean I have given the test on 27th of January,2011!!! Within which date should I gave the second exam or are there are no restrictions???

    There are no restrictions. The only restriction you may face is if the 147 exam expires. There are currently no plans to retire this exam, but if you are not planning on taking the exam right away, you may just want to continue to check the website to ensure that the exam does not retire before you are ready to take it. We typically give approximately 3 months of notice for a retiring exam. There will be messaging on the exam page. However, as I mentioned above, there are currently no plans to retire this exam.

  • Pre-requisite for exam 1Z0-147?

    Hello,
    I am planning on getting the Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate. I am not sure on which exam I should take prior to the 1Z0-147.
    Which one is best: 1Z0-007 or 1Z0-001?
    Thanks for your help,
    Patricia.

    I suggest to take 1Z0-007. Although 1Z0-001 covered both SQL and PL/SQL, but taking 1Z0-007 will help you to learn and improve the basic requirement to know PL/SQL which is SQL. I'm also planning to take the PL/SQL Developer OCA I realized to give a separate concentration in on SQL and PL/SQL. Once you finished 1Z0-007, you can feel confident that you know most of the SQL concepts. And now you can focused on improving your skills in PL/SQL by preparing for 1Z0-147.
    I hope it helps you in deciding which exam to take prior to 1Z0-147.

  • Retirement of 1z0-007 1z0-147 1z0-031 1z0-032 1z0-033 exams .....

    The retirement of 1z0-007 1z0-147 1z0-031 1z0-032 1z0-033 must surely be imminent .
    I think WDP should have stopped teaching them a while ago.
    For 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 suitable and IMHO better alternatives exist in 1z0-051 and 1z0-144. People are not exposed to best practice studying for those older exams.
    IMHO There is no real reason why 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 could not be set for retirement immediately ... (ie in 3 months time) and any candidates studying should find litle gap in studying for the alternatives.
    1z0-031 for 9i DBA OCA and then 1z0-032 + 1z0-033 for 9i DBA OCP it is a different matter .... essentially because of the number of exams in the track and the fact mandatory training is required to complete the track. And from once all those exams are withdrawn any undertaken will not be valid for a later Oracle Database version, 10g or 11g or 12c ( and it would set an (IMHO bad) precedent for earlier version training to be allowed for a later version).
    In some ways those trained on these should already have had sufficient time to certify ... and in many ways a majority (but perhaps not all) of those caught out perhaps deserve little sympathy .... But anyone caught out after having passed 1z0-007 + 1z0-031 + 1z0-032 but not 1z0-033 would feel aggrieved by having to do more training plus take 1z0-0[45]2 and 1z0-0[45]3 to get DBA OCP.
    And retiring 1z0-031; 1z0-032; and 1z0-033 simultaneously with 3 months notice could leave people stuck on track and this could be branded as 'unfair'. (And I assume these exams will need to be retired when Database 12c finally goes production).
    Can I therefore suggest the following may allow people avoid people getting stuck on track:
    0) Retirement of 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 immediately (well 3 months notice) .... this gives the word out to candidates of this era that the exams of this era are being removed.
    1) An effective 6 month notice of retirement of 1z0-032 and 1z0-033:
    This could be achieved by:
    1a) A 6 month (or even end of year) simulaneous announcement of retirement of 1z0-031/2/3.
    1b) A three month notification of retirement of 1z0-031 ... this would stop people entering the 9i DBA OCP exam track ... but not retiring 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 for at least a further 3 months after that date.
    Thinking as I write this an annoucement to retire:
    1z0-007, 1z0-147, 1z0-031 on 31st may 2013 then 1z0-032,1z0-033 at the end of october/november/december 2013 would be perhaps helpful.
    This is prompted by {thread:id=2492717} indicating there are still people midway through the 9i DBA OCP track who may be caught by its retirement. One may argue they if they wish to be OCP
    Readers should note I am nore authorative on these matters, and the certification team are unlikely to announce a retirement before it happens, so I would not expect them to be able to comment on this until an annoucement for retirement is actually made (apart from we review exams for retirement regularly), but I do feel they listen to such comments and take them into account.

    As {thread:id=2511529} a retirement announcement has been made at https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0864_01
    Some people have already commnets on how 1z0-147 and 1z0-141 are affected, though as 1z0-144 and 1z0-151 are available with a high topic correlation there really isn't too big a deal on these.
    The retirement of the 10g OAS exams probably essentially now has little impact as this is an end of life production replacing with weblogic.
    The big impact could be a number of people on the 9i DBA OCP certification who will find their existing training invalidated unless they complete 9i DBA OCP before requirement; and if they fail to do that they will need to pay more to retrain to complete DBA OCP. I am expecting some squeals in this area from people who have dallied ... though arguably in most (but not all cases) there may be little reason to be overly sympathetic with their dalliance. This thread post, and others I have made previously, was a warning.

    Uday0) Warning: Dont publish your Oracle Testing Id. or Prometric Id. on this website, it would be a breach of the NDA you have agreed to.
    0.1) Register with certview.oracle.com ... it helps to know where you are at..
    1) Identify your Prometric Number that you took your prometric exam under.
    2) Identify your Oracle Testing Id. you have under Pearson VUE.
    3) If they are the same all is ok.
    4) If they are different full details of both will need to goto Pearson VUE requesting a merge. (I haven't recently checked the FAQs for updates on this procedure.
    5) Dont try to request a merge while you certview regsitration is in progress.

  • Retirement of 9i DBA OCA and OCP and associated exams and also 1z0-147

    This question hasnt been asked for a while, which I suppose means the numbers doing the followig exams must be diminishing:
    1z0-007, 1z0-031, 1z0-032, 1z0-033, 1z0-147
    I think there is now a fairly good case for these to be retired, assume that WDP courses for them have ceased; though vouchers may still be in existance.
    I particularly wold like to see 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 retired as the far better and more modern equivalent exam 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 exist. IMHO These could probably be done on the normal 3 months noice.
    While I think 1z0-031 could be ceasd at relatively short notice, the case for 1z0-032 having a longer period would be more useful, as people could be part way into a 9i DBA OCP and unable to complete in the 3 months.
    IMHO it would be best to withdraw 1z0-031 first, or to give an extended retirement date for 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 of at least 6 months.
    I guess of all these I would like 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 to be retired. IMHO They should have been put to grass long ago.

    Thanks for your comments on these exams. We are actually currently in the middle of a project to evaluate a number of exams to see which ones need to be identified for upcoming retirement. I will pass your comments along to the team conducting this review.
    Thanks,

  • Exams 1Z0-141 and 1Z0-147 Not Retiring

    Retirement for exams 1Z0-141 and 1Z0-147 has been postponed. Upon further assessment, there appears to still be a significant enough group of individuals taking these two exams that we have chosen to postpone their retirement at this time. There is not a current retirement date for these two exams. Exams 1Z0-141 and 1Z0-147 will remain available after July 31, 2013.

    Certification Forum ModeratorMy opinion is:
    Particularly in the 1z0-147 case this exam is more open to braindump abuse than the later 1z0-144. In both cases a candidate of one of those exams should be able to transition to studying for the other without overmuch effort. Indeed if they had passed their certification we would expect them to do that.
    Having said that it may be that WDP (and others), but it is WDP that counts, have been training people towards 1z0-147/141 rather than 1z0-144/1z0-151; and if this was the case Oracle owes care to these people.
    1z0-147 exams rely on training on software that can not longer be downloaded from OTN.
    My concern, and it is perhaps legitimate to ask the concern, is that they is simple number counting being done here as opposed to 'why?'.
    Please consider: http://www.supernanny.co.uk/TV-Show.aspx ... rewarding good behaviour, Victoria Stillwell ... etc. etc.
    Thankyou.
