Thanks.

Advice on Oracle DBA Associate (OCA) Certification

Hi, All
i'm a newbie to Oracle. I was given a task of passing Cetrtification Exam 1z0-042 for
Oracle DBA (OCA - Oracle Certified Associate)
which is the lowest certification level for an Oracle DBA.
My Q: what Edition of Oracle database should I use in my preparation for the Exam: Oracle Express Edition OR Oracle Standard (enterprise?) Edition?
I started to use E-learning materials from Oracle and I see that most of the examples are given referencing Oracle Enterprise manager, which is not the part of Oracle Express Edition [if i'm wrong pls correct me]
Thank you in advance for your help
If anyone needs help with regular expressions, feel free to stop by at

For DBA learning, you'll want to use Enterprise Edition with all the bells and whistles (partitioning, RAC, bitmap indexes, you name it). Its free to download for this sort of purpose.
Check out www.dizwell.com for articles on installing Enterprise Edition (through VMWare or directly) on various platforms.

Cloud Computing - Oracle dba

Hi Experts,
kindly let me know what is cloud computing and what role can a Oracle dba have in this profile ?
Regards,
Chandra.

At the moment, nothing since this concept is yet to be made more polished and refined. The only cloud thingy that I am aware of related to oracle db is the option to go for Amazon's cloud service to put up the backups. I guess it would be better to choose the policy of wait and watch and see what the next release would say and do about cloud computing.

Want to know , different sun certifications

Hi,
I am an IT proffesional , presently working on Jboss portals and portlets.
I also cleared sun1.4, a month before.
I want guidance, which other sun certifications, i can give , which help me for my professional- upliftment.
Please reply me, so that I can register for another sun certification.

you're a rude, incompetent, fool.
Not only do you revive old threads which have no relation to your question, your question is easily answered by doing a bit of research of your own.
If you're incapable of doing that you lack the intelligence to pass the exams.
If you are unwilling to do your own research there's no reason why anyone should help you as noone should want you as their potential colleague.

Hi,
Check this link.
www.javaranch.com/maha
Goto the Mock Exams section. There is a table with links to free and paid Mock exams
on net. They are also rated for being close to the real exams and helping you learn.
Even the resources here is very good. They are also rated by users.
This is one of the best sites I have visited to prepare for the SJCP exam.
Hope this info helps.

Can not insert a row to a table from Oracle DBA Studio

Hi,
I try to use the Oracle DBA Studio to create a table and put some test data in it. Here is what I found:
I start Oracle DBA Studio on the client machine by connecting to an Oracle server 8i (8.1.7). I create a simple table called Test with two columns: one is USER, VARCHAR2, 10; and the other is USER2, CHAR, 2. After that, I right click on the table name and select "Table Data Editor" from the popup menu. The table editor window shows up. I type in the value 'AA' and 'BB' in the grid of two columns. Then I click the Apply button. An error message box popped up:
ORA-00928 missing SELECT keyword.
I click Show SQL button. The SQL statement is as following:
INSERT INTO "TASYS"."TEST" (USER ,USER2 ) VALUES ('AA' ,'BB').
I copy the statement to SQL Plus and run it. The same error is generated. But if I remove (USER, USER2) from the statement, it inserts a row without complaint. In other word, the database will not allow to insert if individual columns are list. I realize something must wrong with the new server and client installed and could not figure out what happening. Hope someone can help.
Thanks.

I am not sure, but could it be that USER is a keyword or predefine word. Check Oracle'slist of predefine/keyword

Can Oracle and Sybase Coexist on Sun Box ??

Hello Everybody,
I an trying to find out if Oracle and Sybase can coexist on same Sun Solaris box ??.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Definitely. Just be sure to set the kernel paramaters that are needed for each database. (ulimit for Sybase, ISM for Oracle (semaphores and shared memory)). Also be sure that your system has enough memory for the Oracle SGI and the Sybase caches, and that there is still enough for the OS to operate (which is dependent on platform, CPU count, and OS version).
Good Luck,

Can we *_PLEASE_* have a .sig for Oracle forums?

I have requested this before and I will go on doing so (every year, I suppose)
until the people at Oracle listen.
Why - OH WHY* can we not have a 5 line .sig for our posts to this forum?
I am blue in the face from trying to tell people to put
Software - DB Server version - OS (+ version)
Hardware - CPU config - Disk config
into their posts re. Oracle databases and running/tuning queries &c.
Please support my campaign - SOS - (Start Our .Sig!!!) NOW*

In order to adequately respond, you really should be collecting an RDA <g>. A Recursive Decision Algorithm? Or
a Relational Distributed Architecture? Possibly
a Random Duplicate Allocation?
I think you probably mean a Requirement Development Analysis?
No. I mean the Remote Diagnostic Agent output. The one that you are asked to submit with an Oracle Support technical Service Request.
Surely you are aware of the Support requirement for that information.

At the very least you should get both client Maybe I'm just incredibly naive - I start by assuming
that the client can connect with the server... having
said that, I appreciate that there can be compatibility
issues.
I ain't talking about compatibilty. Having a 'I gonna be an Oracle guru'-type tell you that he's installed the Oracle client on XP Home and has no idea what a firewall is can be useful troubleshooting infomation.
And then there is the "I can't get Forms 4.0 to connect to my 11g database" challenge.

and server OS (including family, edition, version I'll go with this.
and patch level ), Patch level? I don't think the .sig should be longer than
the post - If the debate starts to have to get to the level
of patch level, then it's gone way beyond the scope
of a .sig.
The vast majority* of problems IMHO aren't related
to patches, but are (normally) far simpler than that!
Knowing whether the user is at 10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.4 is not important to you? Knowing whether the user is running Windows XP Pro SP2 or SP3 is not important? WHether the database is on XP Home or Vista Bliss and Pleasure Edtion could be as uninterestinng as whether the user has updated to the latest WIndows Defender.

Oracle product (you are assuming database, but ...)Well, database would be my interest area, and I normally only post
to those fora!
And the rest of us are schmucks? <g>

Memory config might be more important than disk, especially
if looking at Java issues, and that includes any OEM issues.Well, yes, obviously RAM would come into the equation - I would
have thought that would be under the rubric of Hardware.
SGA and PGA are memory configurations. In Linux and Unix, the SHMEM and SEM parameters are memory config. Last time I looked they were not part of hardware.
Knowing whether the user has 1G of RAM and the hardware steaks 512M of that for video could also be useful. But is that hardware or software? The typical newb gonna tell you "but my machine has 1GB RAM".

You may want to simpily by setting up a blog with your rant (a bit
like mine at http://hansforbrich.blogspot.com/2008/07/
why-do-they-always-ask-for-version.html) and just linking your sig to the blog.The problem with links is that those who don't bother to read
forum guidelines are even less likely to bother to go further and
follow a link before posting - though I will, myself, certainly be
casting an eye over yours from time to time.
The problem with ranting in .sigs is that people will ignore that.
If you look very carefully, 99% of the problems in the forums come from people who don't read AT ALL. It doesn't matter whether you use a .sig (I used 'em foir years in CDOS) or provide a link.
Seems like many of those who have trouble and turn to the forums go deaf, dumb, blind and schtoopyd, just when the most important tools they need are reading and thinking.

Paul...Do takie my response with a grain of salt. It has more to do with Devil's Advocate and what feels like twenty-umpteen-two years of responding to Oracle questions. And using .sigs even back in my Compuserve days ealy to mid 90s.

What are all the duies that have to be performed by an oracle dba

hi
i am new to oracle and i want to know the duties that have to be performed by an oracle apps dba?
how many years of exp is required to become an dba?
is it compulsory that i should know plsql to become an oracle dba?
Thank you

There duties of a DBA will vary depending on the job role and to some degree the organization in which you work. There are some core duties that you should be to handle no matter the role. Some of those duties would be:
Backup and Recovery
Backup and Recovery
Backup and Recovery
Database creation
User/schema Management
Database and application (sql) tuning
Knowledgeable of the Oracle process and memory structures
Knowledgeable of the OS being used
Good people skills.
and Backup and Recovery
The above is by no means an exhaustive list, but areas that I look when I am interviewing a DBA. Being an Apps DBA, you will also no doubt need have duties that are centered around the support of the Apps.
The multiple listings of backup and recovery are subtle hint that you should be very familiar with the concept as it applies to Oracle no matter your role.

What skills a senior oracle dba should have??

Hi....all,
I'm working as an oracle dba for a small company for 5-6 months.My duty is like doing the typical dba jobs.But i know,i would not be able to survive in long term with these limited set of skills.I,m planning to learn new new things by my own effort.
Now...my ques. what are the areas or technology where should i emphasis???....
Hope...experienced dba guys would give me a proper suggestion in order to build my career.
Regards......

And when you become truly a senior dba , you actually start working on those things which you just learnt and went ahead, like some things which appear very basic in the starting but when you start digging out them , you find lots of details of them. Its going back to basics all the time when you come to a senior level just like in martial arts, after the 10th dan , you are awarded with the white belt, from where you started in the very first place. Steve Jobs of Apple Corp, said 4 great words which I follow and refer, "stay hungry, stay foolish" !
Just my 2 cents!

Which is the relevant exam. You can double change by going down the list of ceriifcation exams:

My understanding is that for developers often releases are broadly similar and therefore the effort in updating the exam is simply unsustainable. For say Oracle DBA exams the situation may be different as their may be signifcant changes/enhancements between releases that are important to be aware of to manager the database effectively.
Please be aware I am not massively familiar with weblogic and myy anwer is not authorative.

Chubb Institute - Oracle DBA

I'm looking for feedback and experience with Chubb Institute, particularly with their DBA course. Here are the questions I'd like answers to:
1) How would you rate Chubb Institute, as both a school and a jumping off point to a new career?
2) Were the courses hands on enough, were the instructors knowledgeable in there respective fields?
3) As I'll explain below I'm making a career change at 40 years old. I get the impression from the adviser at Chubb, that many of the students are making career changes from other fields. I'd like to hear the experience of those that have done just this.
4) Originally I had contacted them regarding their Java programming course. They advised against it saying that for the foreseeable future the field is not looking promising for entry level programmers, and felt that the DBA program would be my best bet. Any thoughts.
5) Can you recomend any forums or web sites for those pursuing a DBA ?
For the last 15 years I've been employed as an aircraft mechanic. My company recently made the decision to relocate to another state. Rather then relocate with them I'm contemplating making a career change. Basically I've gone as far as possible with my present occupation, have grown tiered of it and look forward to doing something new. I've always been interested in computing, and feel that a career in computers would give me the challenges and opportunities I'm looking for. I have been pursuing a Computer Science degree (associates) at the local community college, but have always felt that their program was too academic and did not provide enough hands on experience. Additionally I've already taken most of my computer courses but still have about 2 or 3 semesters (part time) worth of general academic courses. The Chubb Oracle DBA course will take about a year going part time. I feel that spending the next year with intensive hands on experience, would better serve my purpose then spending that year taking trig and biology. With the above said I'd like to hear your experiences or advice.

hey i have started my OCP certification course ....im moving base to the States in a couple of months .... i the scenario for DBAs really good out there?

Which has better opportunities Oracle DBA or Oracle Applications

Hello,
I am a fresh MCA candidate currently working in infosys as a Software Engineer. i would like to switch either to Oracle Apps or Oracle DBA. But I am unable to decide which will have better career opportunities.

Amjad Khan

>>
As a fresher can I apply for ORacle Apps Jobs after completion of my OCP certification.

Oracle Apps has new certification and if I am nost wrong, it is still in beta.
>>
Is Oracle DBA a higher level then Oracle Applications ?

For me, as a CORE DBA, Oracle Apps doesn't excite me much because I can't play with Oracle Apps database as I do with the CORE database.
There are other areas which should be considered as an Apps DBA.
