1Z0-515 exam Data Warehousing 11g Essential - Oracle press Book

Hi,
Is there any Oracle press Book available for 1Z0-515 exam Data Warehousing 11g Essential exam
Like it is available for OCA and OCP
If somebody in the forum given for the exam, please suggest me the study material.
Any other source of learning also will be appreciable(other than the one available in below link, as I could not afford for that).

  • 1Z0-515  exam Data Warehousing 11g Essentials

    Hi,
    I want to know if this new training
    Oracle Database 11g: Administer a Data Warehouse
    sufficient to prepare for that exam or we need additional training or book (beside documentation off course) ?
    If I am not working with an OPN company, what title that I will get after passing the exam?
    thanks

    One additional clarification. You do not have to be working for an OPN company in order to obtain this certification. Anyone can take the exam and pursue this certification and will receive the credential Data Warehousing 11g Certified Implementation Specialist. Those working for an OPN company will receive the additional designation of Oracle PartnerNetwork Certified Specialist.
    Regarding training, the OU course that has been identified that has been identified to best help candidates prepare for the exam is 'Oracle Database 11g: Data Warehousing Fundamentals'
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getCourseDesc?dc=D56261GC10
    This information will be released on the website in a couple of weeks.
    Thanks for your interest in certification!

  • Oracle Press book gives incorrect information about when you are certiifed

    SQL Certified Expert Exam Gudie: ISBN: 978-0-07-161421-4
    Page: 12
    ... and I left (the testing center) a happy and Certified SQL Expert.
    THIS IS WRONG.
    When you leave the exam you receive a score report indicating you have passed the exam (I beleive subject to review).
    BUT
    You are not certified until either:
    - (1) you receive a success kit from Oracle or
    - (2) it is shown on the Oracle Certview Database.
    The distinction is really important as until that time you have agreed not to represent yourself as certified.
    This should have read something like .....
    ... and I left (the testing center) happy knowing that in a few weeks time my certification success should be confirmed in the Oracle Certview Database and my Certification success kits should arrive in a few weeks.
    I am forever screaming at people on the Oracle Forums not to represent themselves as certified until they get a success kit or see it on Certview and an Oracle Press book goes against this!!!!!!
    =:-O
    I know this is possibly apparent nit-picking in the case of this certification ... but it isn't. I've never heard of it happening, but the exam score can be revised until its confirmed (not that I've ever seen this happen ... and wold be almost impossible except for cheating). For instance the exam delivery software/configuration could glitch and deliver 1z0-051 questions instead of 1z0-047 invalidating ones result.  I know we all know this is impossible but would you be prepared to stake all your worldly goods that this has never happened and will never happen.

  • Oracle8 pl/sql programmin by scott urman, oracle press book enough???

    hi everybody, i have oracle8 pl/sql programmin by scott urman, oracle press book, which covers releases 7 through 8. is this book enough for me to prepare for the exam "introduction to oracle 1z0-001". please give your views. thanks..

    I recommend you check the exact objetives here: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1000255&lang=ESA&p_exam_id=1Z0_001 and compare them with the objetives describe in the book. Currently I have 10 certifies and I have done the same always. I check the objetives in the Oracle web site and I study across Oracle Documentation. That is one of the best way to get a strong prepartion and it is shippper.

  • Query tuning for data-warehousing application in Oracle 8i.

    We have to pick up 24 months old data. Each month data is kept in a different partition.
    2007-May month data is kept in PRESC200705 partition
    SELECT r.account_id,
    p.presc_num,
    spm.product_id,
    p.month,
    t.best_call_state,
    sum(p.trx_count)
    FROM rlup_assigned_account r,
    temp_presc_num_TEST t,
    retail.prescrip_retail partition (PRESC200705) p,
    sherlock.sherlock_product_mapping spm
    WHERE spm.product_id like '056%'
    and spm.mds6 = p.product_id
    and t.CLIENT_ID = p.presc_num
    and r.ndc_pyr_id = p.payer_plan
    and t.best_call_state = r.ST
    GROUP BY r.account_id,
    p.presc_num,
    spm.product_id,
    p.month,
    t.best_call_state
    Q This Query is to be tuned
    SQL> SELECT table_name,
    2 partition_name,
    3 high_value,
    4 num_rows
    5 FROM user_tab_partitions
    6 ;
    no rows selected

    I have the following task:
    Requirement:
    According to the client, new partitions are created every month.
    So the query should contain only the 24 most recent partions leaving one old partition every month.
    So, the query becomes dynamic.
    The query will have to leave one old partion every month and move ahead with the new partion created.
    The total partitions accessed should not cross 24.
    Is this possible?

    5..4
    6..5
    7..6
    24..23
    ..24
    Secondly, with one month data (in a partitioned table), the query takes about one hour to run.
    with 24 month data accessed by the query, the query will take 24 hours to run.
    I am sure that Oracle can be tuned to run on such huge data with ease and the query output can
    come within seconds.. Otherwise, nobody would use oracle for datawarehousing applicaions.
    Q. How do I write a dynamic query that references 24 recent partitions, using the query provided:
    abc>SELECT r.account_id,
    2 p.presc_num,
    3 spm.product_id,
    4 p.month,
    5 t.best_call_state,
    6 sum(p.trx_count)
    7 FROM rlup_assigned_account r,
    8 temp_presc_num_TEST t,
    9 retail.prescrip_retail partition (PRESC200705) p,
    10 sherlock.sherlock_product_mapping spm
    11 WHERE spm.product_id like '056%'
    12 and t.CLIENT_ID='934759'
    13 and spm.mds6 = p.product_id
    14 and t.CLIENT_ID = p.presc_num
    15 and r.ndc_pyr_id = p.payer_plan
    16 and t.best_call_state = r.ST
    17 GROUP BY r.account_id,
    18 p.presc_num,
    19 spm.product_id,
    20 p.month,
    21 t.best_call_state
    22 ;
    retail.prescrip_retail partition (PRESC200705) p,
    Partition name, PRESC200705 cannot be hardcoded into the sql.
    Sql should take a range of 24 recent partitions.
    And the query should execute fast too.
    Now, is that what is called a challenge?

    Partition Pruning: This is supposed to provide an insight to the partitions oracle
    vists internally...
    I guess we can use "month>= add_months(sysdate,-24)" instead of partions too.
    I don't think Oracle is visiting any partitions.
    I'll also search into all_tab_partitions to verify this.

    1. I went thru "Effective Oracle by Design" and "Effective Oracle Security By Design" books. These are excellent books one must have. The authors have extensive knowledge.
    2. Is there any book for "ADF/JSF/Toplink" Devlopment available or Only the Documentation will help ?

    Hello, I'm a newly certified OCP. I am attempting to purchase a book but when I click the link the regular book price shows up. At no point am I asked for a special number or something, (which I don't have any way), it just proceeds to the checkout with the regular price. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks a million.

    Are you sure that there is supposed to be a discount? I don't remember that being a benefit when I got my OCP...

  • Which book topics to follow for exam 1Z0-007? Sybex or Oracle press?

    Hi, I am studying following both books for exam 1Z0-007 but sybex book by Chip Dawes covers more topics then oracle book. I am wondering if i still need to study those topics in sybex book which are not covered in oracle press book? For example DML Locks have been discussed in detail in sybex book as compare to oracle book and few topics are missing in oracle press and don't know if there will be any question in the exam from those topics?
    1) OCP Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL Exam Guide by Jason Couchman
    2) OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide by Chip Dawes, Biju Thomas
    Can anyone pls advise? Also i like to know if SelfTest software covers same questions which are in sybex and oracke press book? Because SelfTest software has same questions for microsoft exams which are already in the cd of microsoft official press books.
    Thanks

    The proper method is to look at the exam topics on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_007] which is authorative.
    either the Sybex or Oracle Press book is authorative, and sometimes exam changes after these are printed (with revision from 9iR1 to9iR2 for example).
    In general you should probably have enough material in the two books given for this exam. Its probably cheaper to take the exam itself rather than buy additional Selftest questions. Your time may well be better spent practicing the things you have trouble with. Also be aware these books can have errors. And learn whichever is in either book even if it isnt examined. Its good for you!

  • How to prepare for 1z0-050 exam

    Can u help me guiding how to prepare for 1z0-050 exam. It will be every much useful to me.
    Thank
    Arunkumar Gupta

    There's a new guide available for this test not mentioned in the supplied thread:
    "Study Guide for 1Z0-050: Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators: Oracle Certification Prep"
    It's available at Amazon.com. Be aware that it is very condensed -- it's a study guide rather than a textbook. It should not be the sole source of your preparation for this test. On the plus side, I don't believe it to have near the number of errors that exist in the Oracle Press book for this test. You can also borrow it for free if you have a Kindle and are an Amazon Prime member.
    Full Disclosure. I am the author.

  • OCA 10g 1Z0-042 exam; Topics in the book 'OCP All In One Exam Guide'

    Hello All
    The book is divided into Part I (for 1Z0-042), and Part II (1Z0-043), however the Exam Topics doc on the website seems to cover more than is in Part I. E.g. Flashback is discussed in Chapter 29, a full seven Chapetrs into Part II!!
    Can anyone offer definitive advice on the chapters to study, and also if this book covers all the topics? Is the Sybex book more accurately laid out in terms of topics?
    Finally, I am considering buying the NetG tutorial disks, and the same question as above, do they cover all the material? I don't want to shell out £700 for nothing(!)
    Thanks all

    I must have been have been at the horses head. This is a sort of cross reference.
    This is one of the first exam I did. (It probably cross references from the books to the exam topics - actually it looks like it juest references between books!).
    I worked from the Oracle Press book as master the attacked the Sybex.
    I learnt my lesson. I now start off first with official authorative exam topics and build my notes framework from that.

  • 1Z0-042: Exam topics: Shared / dedicated servers

    Hi all
    Not sure if you answer this type of specific question here, but what the h3ll....
    The exam topics document states that you should be able to identify when to / when not to use shared servers. However the Sybex book goes into plenty of detail on the subject (inclduing a good one in the sample questions), and Oracle Press book has a much 'lighter' view of the subject.
    With this in mind, it looks like the Exam only covers one tiny aspect of the subject (a good thing from my point of view!). Am I correct, or should I be sure I know the minutae of the CIRCUITS, SHARED_SERVER_SESSIONS parameters & DISPATCHER_RATE views etc.
    Ta very muchly

    btThe authorative point for exam topics for 1z0-042 is:
    [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_042]
    This was updated to reflected 10gR2 topics in november 2006. (The topics could even have been changed since, but i dont think so).
    Methinks your books predate that. They could even have been prepared while the exam was in Beta.
    In general IMHO the Sybex book is sometimes a little over the top in these things compared to the Oracle Press, but its all good stuff anyway and useful to know.

  • Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) vs Oracle Golden Gate

    We are about to start a new data warehouse project, which will require a data integration product and have the following questions:
    - ODI provides near real-time data warehousing support: - What is the difference between ODI's near-realtime data warehousing features and Oracle Golden Gate's real-time data integration?
    - How does Oracle Golden Gate achieve Real-time Data Integration? (What kind of non-invasive techniquire/procedures/processes does it use to achieve Real-time Data Integration?
    - Obviously with Oracle Golden Gate being the superior Data Integration product, what is the future of ODI?
    - Is there any product convergence planned for ODI and Oracle Golden Gate by Oracle corp. in the near/far future?
    - Most importantly, what product should we use to implement the new project: ODI or Oracle Golden Gate?
    - What is the easier product to learn/implement: ODI or Oracle Golden Gate?
    Others, please feel free to add to the above questions/concerns.
    Thanks for all your help.

    Hi,
    I tried to install the essbase driver adapter on ODI, but I can't connect to Essbase using topology manager. Anyone know about essbase drivers for ODI. I used ODI 10.1.3.4.
    Thanks all.
