Differences between 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053 and 11g OCP

Hi All
I have a small dilemma
For Christmas I was given a copy of OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam Guide with CD-ROM: Exams 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-All-Guide-CD-ROM/dp/0071629181/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262090730&sr=1-5|http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-All-Guide-CD-ROM/dp/0071629181/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262090730&sr=1-5]
As you will see in the book title it covers 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053
About a year ago I attended the following courses
TT - Oracle D/B 10g Program PL/SQL-QA-IQ
TT - Oracle PL/SQL - GK
TT - Oracle 10g Intro to SQL
I have been meaning to get round to taking my exams and OCA qualification is no problem as I can take 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 using the above book and the knowledge I gained on the course (even though the course was 10g).
But my question surrounds 11g OCP and how it requires instructor led training - now I have done my 10g course but I guess this wont count as an instructor led course for 11g OCP.
If not then im going to need to take the route of 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 to get OCP and 1Z0-050 to upgrade to 11g
So I would ask how safe I would be learning the above mentioned book and taking the 1Z0-042, 1Z0-043 exams. I understand there is no accurate answer as it is subjective but if 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053 (11g) knowledge covers 1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043 (10g) knowledge then there should be no problem, right?
I really dont want to have to take the book back or purchase another.
Thanks in advance

RobYour'e thinking sensibly about this. Well done. And the hands on course needs to be considered carefully and I often say this can be deciding factor in planning.
IMHO there is at least 80% commonality between the topics for 1z0-042 AND 1Z0-052 .... and probably similar for 1z0-043 and 1z0-053 whoug I've never directly checked this and there may be a greater divergence there.
Be aware some topics in 1z0-050 will not be covered in the books you have as far as I am aware.
One option you have not considered is taking exams in this order ..... this will give you 10g OCP and 11g OCP. This is wha I did .... but it mainly occured that for me way as the 1z0-053 was fairly delayed into production and I wanted the certificates I could have as soon as possilble .... ie 10gDBAOCP and 11gDBAOCA. I actually did the 1z1-053 beta for my 11g DBA OCP ... cheaper than 1z0-050 as I already had 11g DBA OCA.
1z0-051 1z0-042 1z0-052 1z0-043 1z0-053.
I know you dont want to buy another book, but the 10g ones from Sybex (and associated CDROM's) give a slightly different viewpoint (though they are for 10gR1 and are not updated for 10gR2 topics). IMHO the sybex books can ometimes go a little over the top in some areas. But all these books can contain some errors ... however they do provide an extra set of practice questions. However it is an option for you.
Its worth registering your 10g course as a hands on course as soon as reasonably possible to ensure there are no issues with it (I assume you have attended the course from Oracle University).
Anyway these are my thoughts. But you know your own circumstances and are responsible for your own decisions. Good Luck.

    What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password?  I am locked out of my phone.

    Not entirely sure what you are asking, but a passcode to unlock an iOS device is normally 4 digits long (so is a 4 digit code), though you can make it alphanumeric and longer (so effectively becomes a password).
    If you don't know the passcode to unlock your phone or it's showing the disabled screen then there are instructions on this page for how to reset a device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you should then be able to restore/resync your content to it.

  • How to measure time difference between zero crossing of a sine wave and rise time of a pulse on a same graph?

    I have a 50Hz sine wave and a pulse signal on a same graph. The phase difference between two is between 0-90 degrees.
    Now I need to calculate the time difference between (when the sine wave crosses zero volts) and (when the pulse rises). The frequency will stay approximately same for both signals.
    The application is for a three phase generator. In simple words, when the time difference between the zero-crossing of sine wave and the pulse rises increases, that means that the load on the generator has increases.
    I am a beginner user of LabView (version 9, 2009), maybe it is a very simple problem but I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days and coudln't figure anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using DAQ USB-6008 to measure these voltages and pulse from the generator and a sensor
    I have attached a jpg (a graph that i just made with excel to explain). The time 't' is what I am trying to measure

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi
    Thanks for the code but I'm afraid it won't work. Like you said the probability of choosing a value that is on both graphs may not happen. This is something that I would like the code to do automatically.
    But I did use the previous code posted and made some modifications to it and it seems to work perfectly. Now the next thing is to be able to get just that one value that tells you the first time difference.
    Here is what I get using that code.
    As you can see from the t Values. I only need the one that is highlighted. If there is a way to filter out the rest it would be great.
    I was thinking of a while loop and as soon as the value is higher than 3E-5 it would store the number and stop the loop, but I'm not too familiar with arrays in labview.
    Here is the the code modified.
    As you can see, it wasn't that big of a modification and it still is your code.
    I will keep trying.
    Thanks for the help

    Hello !
    Which version should I choose 11.1.2 or 11.1.1.6
    11.1.2 must me the latest one aka 11gR2
    11.1.1.6 must be 11gR1 PS5
    Am i right ?
    but in the forms home page it seems that the 11.1.1.6 is the latest version ??
    Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6 Released
    The latest version of Oracle Forms (11.1.1.6) has been released.
    This can be downloaded from My Oracle Support (MOS)

    Oracle Forms 11g Release 2 has been released. Read about the new features.
    Oct-2011
    I suppose that in a MiddleWare stack : SOA suite + BI publisher + Forms, the 11.1.1.6 (11gR1 PS5) is the best choice.
    Can somebody explain me the differences between Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6 and 11.1.2 ?

    One important thing to note is that FMw 11.1.2 (11gR2) does not include Portal or Discover. So if you need either or both of these you will need to stick with 11.1.1.Hi Michael,
    One of the features which is very very important in my point of view is
    Reduced Installation Footprint
    In order to reduce the resource requirements on development machines, you can perform an
    installation specifically tailored for development. This will limit the number of software products
    and servers installed on the machine whilst still allowing a developer to build, run and test their
    Forms application.
    If this feature is only available for the 11.1.2 release then the choice is made !
    Thanks !

    ps : and we don't use any portal or discoverer :-)

  • Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

    Hello,
    J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
    I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
    Thank you.

    We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
    By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
    Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

  • What is the difference between jdk version 1.3.1-b24 and 1.3.1_02-b02?

    Hi,
    This is a weird question. But I really need to know the difference between jdk vesion 1.3.1-b24 and 1.3.1_02-b02.
    Anyone has a clue?
    Thanks
    Wayne

    This is a weird question. But I really need to know
    the difference between jdk vesion 1.3.1-b24 and
    1.3.1_02-b02.Bug fixes only.
    When reading the strings above, ignore the part saying "-b##" (that's the build number). So you're looking at 1.3.1 (the base release), and 1.3.1_02 (patch 02 on 1.3.1).

  • DIfference Between User Exits, Screen Exits, Menu Exits And BADI

    Could any one let me know the exact/practical dIfference Between User Exits, Screen Exits, Menu Exits And BADI. ? And why BADIs are more proned to use?

    Hi,
    User Exits:
    A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
    SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP.   XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
    UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user.  XX represents the 2-digit exit number
    Menu Exits:
    Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
    SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu item’s text when activating the item in an add-on project.
    Screen Exits:
    Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screen’s flow logic.
    BADIs:
    Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software. 
    And why BADIs are more proned to use?
    In contrast to above customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, partner, and customer solutions, as well as country versions, industry solutions, and the like). Definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins can be created at each level within such a system infrastructure.
    SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
    The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time. In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to control add-in implementation and make it dependent on specific criteria (on a specific Country value, for example).
    All ABAP sources, screens, GUIs, and table interfaces created using this enhancement technique are defined in a manner that allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard. A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task.
    The actual program code is enhanced using ABAP Objects. In order to better understand the programming techniques behind the Business Add-In enhancement concept, SAP recommends reading the section on ABAP Objects.

    What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and 11i?

    Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
        If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
    step1: I creat a sales order.
    step2: run MRP for A.
    step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
        Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?

  • Differences between Commit work, Logical Unit of Work and Roll back work

    Hi all,
    Can any one explain me in details what is the difference between Commit Work, Logical Unit of Work and Roll back work. Pls explain by providing some example.
    and also explain me where and when these are used and what are the importance of using these.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Ramana Prasad.T

    Hi Ramana Prasad,
    A Logical Unit of Work (LUW or database transaction) is an inseparable sequence of database operations which must be executed either in its entirety or not at all. For the database system, it thus constitutes a unit.
    LUWs help to guarantee database integrity. When an LUW has been successfully concluded, the database is once again in a correct state. If, however, an error occurs within an LUW, all database changes made since the beginning of the LUW are canceled and the database is then in the same state as before the LUW started.
    An LUW begins
    o each time you start a transaction
    o when the database changes of the previous LUW have been confirmed (database
    commit) or
    o when the database changes of the previous LUW have been cancelled (database rollback)
    An LUW ends
    o when the database changes have been confirmed (database commit) or
    o when the database changes have been canceled (database rollback)
    COMMIT WORK.
    Executes a database commit and thus closes a logical processing unit or Logical Unit of Work ( LUW ) (see also Transaction processing ). This means that
    all database changes are made irrevocable and cannot be reversed with ROLLBACK WORK and
    all database locks are released.
    COMMIT WORK also
    calls the subroutines specified by PERFORM ... ON COMMIT * executes asynchronously any update requests (see CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK ) specified in these subroutines or started just before,
    processes the function modules specified in CALL FUNCTION ... IN BACKGROUND TASK ,
    cancels all existing locks (see SAP locking concept ) if no update requests exist,
    closes all open database cursors (see OPEN CURSOR ) and
    resets the time slice counter to 0.
    COMMIT WORK belongs to the Open SQL command set.
    Return code value
    The SY-SUBRC is set to 0.
    ROLLBACK WORK.
    Closes a logical processing unit by reversing all database changes made since the last COMMIT .
    You use this statement if you cannot be certain that all the database changes have been executed correctly.
    The update routines are not performed.
    ROLLBACK WORK belongs to the Open SQL command set.
    Note
    If the ROLLBACK statement occurs within a SELECT loop, the processing cannot continue because the database cursor is invalid. After the ROLLBACK statement, you should therefore ensure that all SELECT processing has been explicitly terminated.
    <b>Plz. Avoid Duplicate Threads.</b>
    Hope this resolves your query.
    Reward all the helpful answers.
    Regards

  • Difference between do-while, do-when, do-until and do-select in app engine.

    Hi can anyone please tell me the difference between do-while, do-when, do-until and do-select in app engine.
    I read the peoplebooks, but i was not able to keep up with that.
    I know like do-while is like WHILE loop in any programming language.
    here my question starts. WHILE has a condition inside the parenthesis and it will check whether that condition is true or not. where do we have that condition in do-while(is it the where conditions inside the do-while)?
    Please clarify me.
    Thank you,
    Bye.

    Hello user609854,
    Do-While
    in simple words it is like, keep doing specified task , up to / when the condition is matching. once this is over, terminate the loop and come out. :)
    If the Do While does not return any rows, the step is complete.
    DoWhen - Select statement that allows subsequent actions to be executed if any rows of data are returned.i.e.when a particular conditions is matched like emplid='A2200' or may be a role based criteria etc
    A Do When statement runs before any other actions in the step. If the Do When statement returns any rows,the next action is executed.
    If the Do When conditions are not met, the remaining actions within that step are
    not executed. Your program executes a Do When action only once when the owning step executes.
    The only property that you can specify for the Do When action is the ReUse Statement property, which applies to all SQL-based actions.
    Do-Until
    Keep performing certain task , every time a particular task is being performed. its like keep doing task B until task A is accomplished.
    A Do Until action is a Select statement that runs after each action when a step completes. Use aDoUntil action if you want the processing actions to execute at least once, and to execute over and over until a certain condition is true, such as until a Select statement returns some rows.You can also use a Do Until action to stop a Do Select action prematurely.
    Do-Select
    a) Select/Fetch : AE performs a Fetch statement for each iteration of the loop to get each row from the Select statement
    b) Re-Select : For each Iteration , opens a cursor and fetches the first row. The cursor is reopen for each iteration. we put certain criteria by which the conditions should not match else this can be a deadlock
    c) Restartable : This is same as ReSelect accept, Restartable flexibility.
    We can restart this select/fetch as AE performs a checkpoint in the middle of the step. SQL in this mode,during restart will recognize where the previous run failed&where to restart processing.
    Please Note: When AE is not set up for restartability, then commits are not controlled, monitored, or restricted by PeopleSoft Application Engine.
    In Do Actions & Do Select we can specify ReUseStatement ~ SQL-based actions.
    Please , let me know if this is fine with you.

  • Are there any differences between using Adobe Illustrator on a MAC and on a PC?

    Hello,
    I'm about go enroll in a class specialized for teaching Adobe Illustrator in order to be able to use the program at work.  The company that I work at uses Macintosh computers to deal with clerical work and everything, so I would like to know if there are any differences between using Adobe Ilustrator on a MAC and on a PC.  The school that offers training teaches two types of classes, where one uses Illustrator on a MAC, and the other one on a PC.  The PC class is able to have an earlier start date, which is why I'm sort of leaning towards choosing that class as I need to be able to use the software as soon as possible, but if there are main differences between the interface that will affect my knowledge of using Illustrator on a MAC after I take the class with Windows systems, then I will most likely be waiting for the class teaching in MAC systems.
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Oh and another suggestion- should I take the Illustrator class in CS6 or CS5?

    Reading through the CS5 vs CS6 performance thread, the Mac version seems to have worse performance than Windows version.  From a starter's perspective the differences would most likely never be realized.  It will take some time to see differences between even CS5 and CS6 other than the visual aspect of course.
    Definitely take the CS6 versionso you can say you have it.  CS5 is my preferred version, CS6 is garbage with the bugs it has for the type of work I use it for.
