1z0-850 is an exam not a certification. ( you could say you meant the certification associated with 1z0-850 ... ( Java 5 SE OCA ) ).
Without going into more complexity than I have time for ... probably best to continue with your Java 7 SE OCA/OCP.
If you follow through the certification and exam links at at http://certification.oracle.com who should be able to see more .... but be aware the Java 7 SE OCA/OCP is more to oracle standard than the Java 5/6 SE ( I think I read you could go direct to OCP on those in one exam ..... but I'd have to double check and I dont have time).

  • 1Z0-850 Exam

    I am looking to take the 1Z0-850 exam this year. Anyone have any suggestions on books that could help me prepare for this? I know this used to be called SCJA and there are many books on the Sun exam. Not sure how helpful they are since the exam changed when Sun was bought out.

    This one is very good and i recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Associate-Study-CX-310-019-Edition/dp/1598729020

    Good luck!

  • Is my exam still valid as a pre-requisite?

    I completed: '1Z0-001 Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL' all the way back in 2001...over 7 years ago.
    Does this exam that I took in 2001 still qualify as the 1st of 2 exams that I must take in order to earn my OCA (Database 11g Adiminstrator Certified Associate)???
    Although it does state that 1Z0-001 does qualify for the 1st exam, does the fact that I took over 7 years ago make a difference? Meaning, can I just take the Oracle Database 11g: Administration I (1Z0-052) exam in order to get my OCA (Database 11g Adiminstrator Certified Associate)?

    Hi,
    I am in the same situation, but I had found recently (June 2009) that in the certification path the exam 1z0-001 has disapeared from the graphic
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=198&p_org_id=&lang=

  • Study Guide book for Java Certified Associate SE 5/6 Exam 1Z0-850

    Hello All!
    I'm a student and Just finished my java course. I planning to take the Java Certified Associate SE 5/6 Exam 1Z0-850 ASAP. My questions:
    1) Is there a study guide available for this (thought I could fine OCA SE7 which will be released only on Aug 2012. Can't wait that long)? is
    2) I read that there's no pre-req for this exam or is there?
    I really need a study guide for this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I guess you didn't consulted Amazon:

  • What is the status of 1z0-050 exam??

    Can anyone explain, whats the status of 1z0-050 exam in this month i.e. Jun 2010. As Oracle has validated O11gR2 for the exam, is the exam has entirely been changed vs. O11gR1.
    Moreover, It is very confusing that Transcenders link, available on the Oracle Certification side is providing test exams for O11gR1 while the exam has been valided for O11gR2.?

    Please check the answer of certification forum moderator in this thread, that might help you
    1Z0_050 for 11g release 2?

  • 1Z0-803 or 1Z0-850?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to take the Java Associate Programmer exam (and after that, the OCP for Java). I have 2 points of view, and i need an advice/recommendation. So:
    1) Take 1Z0-850 (Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 5/SE 6, which covers topics such as Fundamental Object-Oriented Concepts, Java Implementation of Object-Oriented Concepts and so on, not covered in 1Z0-803), and then 1Z0-851 to become a Java SE 6 Certified Professional.
    2) Take directly 1Z0-803 (Java SE 7 Associate), which does not cover topics such as the basics of OO and other introductory notions about the Java Language and the architecture, etc (as 1Z0-850), but contains just "techincal" topics (Working With Java Data Types, Arrays, etc).
    Maybe if i opt for 2), i should already have knowledge of those introductory concepts about Java and OO? or it is not mandatory..
    I think if i take first 1Z0-850, and then 1Z0-851 - Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 6 Programmer, and then upgrading the certification to Java SE 7 Professional, i will pay much more ( than taking 1Z0-803 and finally 1Z0-804 to become an OCP (so just 2 exams)
    So what do you recommend, option 1 or 2?
    One more question: when i go to "Upgrade an existing certification", at http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:JSE7Prog#1 , i see that only "Professional" certifications can be upgraded (Any version Oracle Certified Professional, Java Programmer OR Any version Sun Certified Java Programmer); so Associate cannot be? e.g. upgrading from 1Z0-850 to 1Z0-803 (which i have mentioned above)

    IMHO For certifications in general:
    (1) For most people, unless there are other factors, taking certification on the latest version would seem usually to be the sensible course. Factors against it might include for example if training, especially and mandatory training, for the earlier version was more accessible or cheaper.
    (2)
    - Typically for OCA's the difference between OCA(ver (x)) and OCA(ver (x-1)) will be one exam. On this basis there is no point for Oracle(or the candidate) in an upgrade exam, simply take the OCA(ver (x)) exam.
    - IMHO It is also important for OCA's to focus on getting to OCP standard which should provide a fuller and more rounded view of the product; rather than concentrating on new features.
    - (The typical example here would be 1z0-053 which concentrates a lot on backup ... would one want a DBA OCA focusing on exotic new features before he has demonstrated mastery of backup).
    - For OCP to (ver (x)) from (OCP (ver (x-1)) via OCA would be 2 exams (twice the cost). An upgrade exam here is a single exam cost.
    - The upgrade exam here allows Oracle to focus on OCP level candidates concentrating on the new features of the latest version, where their knowledge gap will be.
    - (and also where Oracle needs to get this knowledge into the community).

  • 1z0-042 Exam

    Hi,
    I was a Sybase DBA for almost 5 years and now trying to be more familiar with Oracle as well. I've already passed exam 1z0-007 but then thought of moving to 10g. Currently preparing for the 1z0-042 exam through e-learning. Can you please send me any material that well help pass the exam.
    E-mail: [email protected]
    Thanks and Regards

    Two comments:
    1) Self Test software, Sybex books and Oracle's documentation (http://docs.oracle.com with an alternate, but unofficial, index at http://tahiti.oracle.com) are very useful for studying for the exams.
    2) Passing the exams means you are certified. But it is still possible for OCPs to be deluded by common myths that have been dragging on for years (and are even in the courses and exams). To get the straight info, and to get a good handle on the differences between Sybase (the ancestor to SQL Server) and Oracle, I encourage reading Thomas Kyte's books, especially "Expert Oracle Database Architecture: 9i and 10g Programming Techniques and Solutions" http://apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10008

  • HT5498 Is this information still valid after one and a half years? Are the lightning-to-HDMI or lightning-to-VGA cables the only available options to send video to a TV set?

    There is a relative using an iPhone 5s and is interested in streaming video from her iPhone to an old TV set; unfortunately the TV set does not have either HDMI or VGA connectors; therefore we figured out getting a "lightning-to-30 Pin adapter", plug it to the iPhone 5s and use an old "Composite AV Cable" to do the trick. However, I found this post informing video streaming is not possible through the "lightning-to-30 Pin adapter", but -considering its post date- I would like to know if that info is still valid or if something has changed since then. Obviously changing the TV set is not an option, we have a limited "budget" to solve this.

    Thanks for the feedback Rudegar. We're not planning using airplay mirroring using AppleTV, but directly as it used to work with old iPhone 4S. Just attaching the composite video cable (30pin-to-Composite) to the iPhone 4 worked on almost any TV set equipped with composite jacks. Maybe I have to rewrite the question to "...available wired options to send video to a TV set?"

    Hi everybody
    My name is Jon Toshmatov and I am preparing for 1Z0-051 exam and I would like to ask you a few questions.
    First, a little my background, I work for IBM in mainframe storage team and prior to IBM I have a few years of DBA experience.
    Within 3 months I want to pass the 1Z0-051 exam and next 3 months 1Z0-052 exam and obtain OCA certification within total 6 months. Is this doable?

    Preparation time depends on the individual and how much time they have. Do not be surprised if your preparation time for 1z0-051is shorter than that for 1z0-052. Also be aware if you want to move to DBA OCP you need mandatory training at some point

    Thanks

    Thank you for your reply, however, that doesn't work in this case. I've tried to detect the serial using Coconut Identity as well, it doesn't work. ASP shows nothing (for both X and 9).
    Would there be a serial on the motherboard or somewhere where I have yet to try looking?
    p.s. for your information, ASP displays the ROM version in OS 9 and n.a. for the rest of the fields, in OS X, even the ROM version is not displayed. I tried 10.0.3, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 (via Xpost)

    There is no such specific Oracle Documentation given in Oracle, rather you will have to refer a couple of related Oracle Documentations.
    Here are the Oracle SQL Documentations.
