Books/sites for Certified Associate (exam 1Z0-042)?

What books are recommended in order to pass exam 1Z0-042 (Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate)? Is there any one book that I can study that will help me pass this test?
I've read that you should have some "hands-on" experience to pass the test. I have software development experience with T-SQL (sql server). But I've rarely done anything with Oracle specifically (although I've worked with pl/sql).
Thanks.

Download the Database and install it and your on the first step of going through exam topics
Get time to read the Concepts guide, and maybe Admin and Performance guides from the docu library.
You have all the resources you need here on OTN!

Reference book for Oracle Linux exam 1Z0-402

Hi gurus!

Thanks

Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?By itself, 1Z0-402 does not grant any certification. Presumably you are going for Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate. That certification path also requires passing 1Z0-403. However, you can skip 1Z0-402 if you already have one of several other industry Linux certifications (LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell). My recommendation would be to go for one of these certifications, then skip straight to the 1Z0-403 exam. I suggest that for several reasons:
1. There is a lot more study resources for exams like CompTIAs Linux+ available.
2. The other Linux certifications are better known than Oracle's.
3. Since 1Z0-402 by itself does not grant a certification, going this route gets you two certifications for the price of one.

OCA Exam 1Z0-042 - focus on Oracle Database 10g R2 from Nov 1st.

I was planning to take the OCA (Exam 1Z0-042) next week. But I recently saw that starting November 1, the focus of the exam will be on Oracle Database 10g R2.
I have been preparing with the hlep of the Oracle10g Administraton I book from Sybex. Will the topis differ to a great extent now that the exam will focus only on R2? Has anyone taken this exam after November 1 and found a great difference?
Thanks,

Thanks bhuttie. I do plan to take the selftest exams but I was just thrown off with the words " focus on Oracle Database 10g R2" on Oracle's website. Did you take the exam after November 1 as well ?

How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
Thanks
MG

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

IS DBA ASSESSMENT EXAM 1Z0-042 REALLY FREE?

Hi,
I am a student studying Oracle 10g admin I and preparing for my OCA exams. I am told that Oracle 1Z0-041 Exams is an optional and FREE exam from Oracle to prepare students for taking Oracle 10g certification exams.
I need confirmation from Oracle that the above online exam is really FREE.
If it is will someone email me the link?
Thanks

(1). 1Z0-041 -- "USED" to be free, Not anymore -- Pay $90 and get an assessment.
(2). 1Z0-042 -- Actual Exam, Upon Getting thru -- You would be a 10g OCA.
All the Best

Quetion on database 10g Admin 1 certification exam 1Z0-042

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).
Ta.

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

Exam 1Z0-042

Hi,
I've just started studying for the first exam on Oracle 10g. I was just wondering, after taking some Microsoft and CompTIA certification exams, if anybody had any clues as to what to expect not having taken any Oracle exams before.
I'm not asking for answers or sample questions, but just an overall feeling of the exam (e.g. you need to know all switches for expdp ;)).
Thank you,
Greg
P.S: Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I did not find any certification forums.

The exams thankfully don't try to see if you remembered anything by heart, but are designed to make sure you understand, at least at a high level, many Oracle concepts. It might be worthwhile remembering the most important parameters/switches of commands, but it's much more important to understand when to use some feature, the features major limitations, and the high-level steps on how to use a feature. Doing the examples provided in manuals always helped me a lot, as I tend to remember more after I do something myself. By the way, I'm Oracle 8i and 9i OCP (and currently thinking about doing 10G).

Which book do you recommend for 'MySQL 5 Certified Associate Exam' exam?

Hello, this is my first post. I am familiar with SQL and I use it occasionally, but I decided to get certified. Which book and material would you recommend me studying to sit the 1Z0-870 exam? Online and college courses are too expensive for me and I happen to do better studying at my own pace. Thanks.

Thanks.For certification purposes: MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide [Paperback] ISBN-13: 978-0672328121 is still probably still good (unless the topics have been updated and I haven't noticed), though perhaps dated compared to the more recent MySQL versions.
... That said the 1z0-870 for MySQL is relatively expensive and over simple for what it is (IMHO); and it may be worth considering going direct for the OCP.
For using the more recent version of MySQL in practice additional books/material may be important for on the job in practice.

Why isn't there an Adobe Certified Associate Exam for After Effects?

I've been traching my students Video production, and as you all know one of Premiere's best partners for this is After Effects. I get my students to pass the ACA for Premiere Pro (we're on CS5 still) but there is nothing for After Effects. Why is this? These types of certifications are excellent for students - it looks great on college resumes and can count toward post-secondary exams for them in some schools. Any idea why there isn't an ACA for this? I know there is the ACE, but from what I've taken I know the ACE exams are more difficult than the ACA exams. I think the ACA curriculum is great for high school students, and the ACA exam is a perfect exit exam for this age.

iTunes doesn't handle the import of photos from a digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll, which this would involve along with creating the albums or folders on your computer for the albums created on the iPhone from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera and photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Although photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup, it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone alone for this which can be lost or stolen, or on your iPhone's backup which includes a significant amount of other data in the event a problem develops with the backup.
Since photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, you can create albums/folders for select photos on your computer to include photos imported from your iPhone's Camera Roll and for other photos on your computer for transfer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.

Best Sites for OCA Practice Exam

I'm preparing to take my OCA exam and wanted to purchase one of the practice exams. I have found a few sites (selftestsoftware.com, testking.com, etc). I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of these sites or could recommend any others.
Thanks,
Bill

FYI - I found this on DBASupport.com and I just purchased the bundle OCA/OCP for $89 from selftestsoftware.com.
If you become a member of Oracle Academic Initiative you can get SelfTest for half price (each practice exam is $50). When it ask you for your Institution, just enter in your local community college as it is spelled exactly (chances are it is an authorized Oracle Academic Initiative Institution) and agree to everything else. You have to order through OAI and your cart will reflect 50% off.

When Should I Expect To Receive my MCITP EA Entitled Certificate After Sitting for all 5 Exams?

Hello There,
Having sat for my last 2 exams (Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring 70-642 and Pro: Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator 70-647) on MCITP Enterprise Admin Certificate on 30th January, 2014, I expected to being in a position to order
and able to download my MCITP Certificate to-date. But I am yet to receive an email on confirmation of the certificate and instead I've only receive MCTS certificate on Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuration on 2nd Feb, 2014. Considering
this is the 7th day since get done with exams, When should I expect to get the certificate entitled MCITP EA?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, cathbertpk1987.
Are all of your passed exams appearing on your MCP transcript? If they are, sometimes it take a few extra days for all the titles to appear on your transcript. However, seven (7) days is a long time. If you call them, they might tell you to wait
until ten (10) days. That's what they told me a few weeks ago.
If there are passed exams missing on your transcript, you can scan them as images (less than 100K in size) and send them to Microsoft.
Gather the image(s) and other information including your MCP ID and your Prometric ID (it's on your pass exam) and then contact your Microsoft Regional Service Center. Their email address is
[email protected]
You can also call them on the phone. Please use the following web page to find the correct contact information for help.
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/help.aspx.
Chances are good that if you decide to call them, they give you specific instructions and you will end up emailing them anyway.
This web page includes email and phone contact information for your geographic location so you can email or call them directly. They will help you get this figured out.
NOTE: This public forum is usually monitored by fellow IT professionals like you and me but not by Microsoft employees.
Good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson
