Could any one provide the URL for the documentation for the below certificaiton. Please provide the URL for documentation and not the sysllabus.
*1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert*

I'm not sure what you mean by the URL to the documentation. Oracle doesn't have documentation that's specifically about the test, but they do have a few SQL books/documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
The content of the test is listed here:

Questions about 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

I am planning to take this exam and I have several questions:
1) I am using Steve O'Hearn's 'SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide' book and this states the following about SQL functions:
"Be sure to review the Oracle Database SQL Language Reference Manual and review the lengthy description of all of the SQL functions before taking the exam"
In trial tests it seemed that book's information was enough, but how about real exam? Is it necessary to study something in addition to this book information? You can answer regarding other exam objectives as well, if there is something that I should read from some other materials.
2) The book states that I can add not null constraint to column that has null values, if I specify default value. I tried and cannot, I get error. So the book states it wrongly or do I misunderstand something?
3) The book states that I cannot drop a NOT NULL constraint, but I can get the job done using: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name NULL;
I tried and I can execute: alter table table_name drop constraint nameofnotnullconstraint;
4) To use external tables, is only read grant on the directory necessary or also write?
5) I understood from the book that to flashback table (e.g to before drop) I need to have row movement enabled on the table. But I tried and I can make this flashback operation to table that does not have row movement enabled. How can this be explained!
Big thanks in advance!

#1) well, the manual is free; find here the SQL Language Reference - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
#2 & 3) If you proved it yourself, that settles it!
#4) Here's a good article about external tables: http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=512
I noted this paragraph in it, which might answer your question:
In addition to the standard read-write Oracle directory that we need for our external table, we also need an additional executable directory object for the preprocessor. This directory defines the location of the executables used by the preprocessor (we will be using gzip below). As far as Oracle is concerned, an executable directory is one that has EXECUTE privileges granted on it (this is an 11g feature specifically to support the preprocessor).
#5) don't know

More Oracle Database SQL Expert [1Z0-047] study guides in pipeline?

Hi
Are there more study resources (other than official Oracle book and Oracle Certification Prep summary) in pipeline or on market?

Are there more study resources (other than official Oracle book and Oracle Certification Prep summary) in pipeline or on market?The Oracle Press series isn't really 'from' Oracle, but rather is from McGraw Hill, so 'official' is a strong word to use. I know that Oracle provides some materials to the authors, but not the extent or type. There are very few authors/publishers that compete with Oracle Press in writing Oracle certification books. The three tests required for the DBA OCP (SQL, DBA1, DBA2) will normally generate competing books from Sybex and sometimes Packt. Beyond those tests, however, unless Oracle Press writes a certification guide, normally no one else does (and if Oracle Press writes a guide, then especially no one else does). This lack of certification materials for Oracle tests is a large portion of the reason I started writing my guides. Even then, one of the primary reasons why I designed them as a series of study guides rather than full-blown soup-to-nuts manuals is to avoid 'competing' with Oracle Press. I'd lose that fight, so I avoid it.
What I'm getting at (in a very roundabout way), is that I consider it very unlikely that another publisher will come out with a manual for 1Z0-047. The exam has been in production since early 2008 and the Oracle Press book has been out since late 2009. I don't think anyone is writing another one.

OCA: 1Z0-047 Oracle DB SQL Export vs. 1Z0-051 11g: SQL Fundamentals I

Hi All
Passed my 1Z0-042 today (now that's a monkey off my back, so off to celebrate with something red, fermented & >12%ABV!), and am now looking at which other exam to take to complete the OCA.
Now for me, this looks like a no-brainer....
1Z0-047 has a much wider topic list (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_047) than that of 1Z0-051 (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_051), and has a pass mark of 66% against 60% for the 11g, and is over 40GBP cheaper (I assume because 1Z0-051 is non-proctered).
Am I missing something really obvious??
Hic!
bt

>
>
>
Also, if I buy the non-proctered exam today (to head off any further nasty future prices rises...grrr...), how long is it valid for i.e. how long do I have before I need to take it online?
I thnk its unlikely (but I could be wrong) the prices will change much again (particularly upwards) for a bit except/unless currency exchange variations. So I wouldn't rush to book. I think online you can book immediately, and for proctored you should normally have slots a few days in advance at most 5 day centres apart from near end of terms and quarters and possibly on fridays or at the end of special offers.
Although the 1z0-051 is 'non-proctored' I believe it can also be taken proctored for the same price. Doing it online has risks of distraction and any connection issues may be your problem. If I did it online I am sure there would be a someone wishing explore the local electricity substation or play with a JCB when I was attempting to take my exam.

Books for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144

Hello all,
I'm planning to study for "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" certification. I was planning to prepare for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144 as both of those exams are validated against Oracle Database 11g.
I was wondering if any of guys here can help me out with the couple of questions that I have.
1. Which one would you recommend among the two of the below exams?
1Z0-047 (Oracle Database SQL Expert)
or
1Z0-051 (Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I)
2. What books should I refer for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144? I read a lot of threads about this topic. But, I haven't found a proper answer yet, which is why I'm posting this question again.
For 1Z0-047, I saw people recommending the following:
OCA Oracle Database SQL Expert Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-047 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) by Steve O'Hearn
OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass
For 1Z0-144, I saw people recommending the following:
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (Animal Guide) by Steven Feuerstein and Bill Pribyl
OCP Developer PL/SQL Program Units Exam Guide by Steve O'Hearn
I kindly request you guys to help me out as I don't have much idea about these books. It would be really great if someone who has passed the exams or read these books throw some light on these.
Thanks in advance.

Ucertify does have a 1z0-144 practice test ... quality may or may not be poor. Ucertify currently remains certifcation safe AFAIK.

( I feel like I am advertising Ucertify ... which I dont want to be. I feel if I dont do this people will end up with braindump providers). Some may even find a poor quality practice test more harm than good, time may have been better sent learning from the online manuals and practicing what is there.

Where can I buy an authentic prartice test material for 1z0-047?

Hello friends,
I am planning to take the 1Z0-047 (Oracle Database SQL Expert) test by next month. I would like to buy the practice test kit that would be available in India to practice for the exam.
I have searched on the internet for the test kits, and am confused about their authenticity.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
Murli

The officially recognised Kaplan IT practice tests are here on the oracle certification website
( http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=208 )
Trascender is essentially a superset of SelftestSoftware. Beware of fake immitations.
About the only other independent supplier is Ucertify, pretty well everthing else google provides will be braindump. Transcender/Selftestsoftware standard will typically be higher than Ucertify IMHO.
Steve O'Hearns book also has practice exams on the cdrom.
- I always caution against people studying for 1z0-047 without being above 1z0-051 standard first. 1z0-047 is really there for experienced SQL people.

Hi,
It's been 8 weeks since I passed the exam 1z0-047 ( Oracle DB SQL Expert). I haven't yet got the certificate from Oracle. Can anyone tell whom to contact - Prometric or Oracle?
Thanks!

1z0-054: Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Expert

I am planning to give the exam 1z0-054 to get the certification, "Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Expert".
The Certification Path says that, if you are and "OCP DBA 11g" then you can directly take this paper, and there is no Instructor Led Training requirement. Therefore, I decide to prepare for it by my own. Can someone guide me about the study material and dumps?
Regards,
Ahmer Mansoor

Therefore, I decide to prepare for it by my own. Can someone guide me about the study material and dumps?First of all, the word 'dumps' has a specific meaning. It is shorthand for 'brain dumps' which are illegal and can cost you this certification and any others you have taken.
http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0477
Second -- there currently is no study guide or book specific to this certification available at this time. I write study guides and this one is actually next on my list once I complete the current book for *1Z0-117: Oracle Database 11g Release 2: SQL Tuning*. I won't have a guide for 1Z0-054 until some time in May most likely. That said, I have some links to legal study material on the companion website for my guide series relevant to topics for this exam. It also has links to the Oracle documentation that contains information you need. Once I start writing the book for this exam, the links will expand rapidly as I research the topics for it and the documentation links may expand as well.

We are preparing for 1Z0-117: Oracle Database 11g Release 2: SQL Tuning, There is shortage of material available on net.There are actually a fair number of articles about the material covered on 117 on the net, but yes, the test is new enough that cheaters have not had much of a chance to email around illegal material such as dumps yet.
Can anybody please provide books or Dumps and share more idea about the exan.There is a significant amount of legitimate material you can use to study for the exam here:

Thanks,
PraveenTo make a steam locomotive go one needs fire, water and steam. You can struggle by for a bit with a shortage of one of these.
And I think a better way to think about your question is:
IMHO To pass 1z0-047 you need knowledge practice and experience.
- And you can something squeeze through if one of these is a little weaker and the others very strong.
From the book you can gain knowledge (as indeed can the oracle documentation). IMHO If you gain it all, the knowledge from the book is sufficient for passing the exam.
You can also use the book to get a little test practice. (And perhaps a little practice of the SQL itself).
The book however doesn't give experience.
- Having said all this I feel starting from zero trying to pass 1z0-047 is likely to result in failure.
Better in my opinion is study for 1z0-051 first. It's a lot gentler on the brain. And take that. It's a lot cheaper if you fail it and need to retake. And the exam is easier (though you might have to learn more detail in places, which perhaps isn't a bad. thing).
........... But if after studying for 1z0-051 you elect to skip it and go for 1z0-047 direct that is your choice. 1z0-051 is a subset of 1z0-047 HOWEVER there will be more detail on some 1z0-051 topics on the 1z0-051 exam.

Is it possible to get ....OCA and Oracle certified SQL expert ...together ?

Hie there everyone ...
i have a little question puzzling me ...
just today i passed my , Oracle DataBase 10g Administration I --- ( 1Z0-042 ) ... on my way for OCA certification.
But now , as it required another exam to get certificate and this is my question ...
Which Exam is more preferred for this ?? ... at present oracle is offering 4 exams ...
1. 1z0-001 ... introduction to oracle: Sql and Pl/Sql
2. 1z0-007 ... Introduction to oracle 9i ( i like 10g more so , i prefer to not to go backwards )
3. 1z0-047 ... Oracle DB SQL expert ( my choice )
4. 1z0-051 ... Oracle DB 11g : SQL fundamentals
now when i was looking at these options , i come to know that , if i give exam 1Z0-047 ... i can get individual certificate as ORACLE DB Certified SQL EXPERT ...
SO , my question is ... if i go for 1Z0-047 , will i get 2 certificates ?? i means , as i have already cleared 2 exams for OCA_ ... and another for passing this 1Z0-047 as a ORACLE DB CERTIFIED SQL EXPERT ??_
can i hit two birds with one stone ??
please if someone can answer/confirm it asap ... so i can give that exam in next weekend ( i've already prepared for it ) ...
thanks in advance for any help ...

and pls tell me what is the basic difference between all the exam options we have to become an OCA, particularly between exams 051 and 047 ?
since i am working in forms 6i , reports and pl/sql which exam would be better for me? and ya i am already working as a developer so have practical knowledge in sql so preapring for the courses would'nt be much a difficulty for me.
so pls suggest me which exam would suit me the best. thanksI your other post as well and nearly was to make this suggestion to you the you look at PL/SQL Developer Certifications. Because they match your current experience they will always help you in moving jobs.
You can also find studying for them will help your current work.
I would suggest 1z0-051 first. It ensures your up to some 11g features and will but you can learn new things on the way. It also gets you used to taking a prometric exam. It can be done online, you if you search other posts I give some reasons why I think this is not so good for most people. Others might argue 1z0-007 is an easier exam to take as you may be familiar with all constructs.
Some people plump straight for 1z0-047. You have to know a fair bit about analytic functions for this so its not trivial. But you do get a certificate for passing the exam, and as Jack shows it can be done. But its a harder exam.
PL/SQL OCA ought to be well within your grasp too. You have the choice of 1z0-147 or 1z0-144 (current in beta as 1z0-144, a long exam, but currently very cheap). From other posts you will see I dont think highly of 1z0-147, and quite frankly you wont learn a lt studying for it. 1z0-144 is the more recent exam and has more interesting topics and I think I'd advise who to aim for that (and if you take the beta exam you get some respect for me from trying it!). But certainly take one other exam at a prometric center before taking a beta!

Mock exams for 1Z0-047

Does anyone know of any official mock exams for the SQL Expert exam (1Z0-047)? All I can find are dodgy brain dump sites...
Also how realistic are the questions in the Master Exams that come with OCA Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-047) (Osborne Oracle Press Series) - Steve O'Hearn? The questions at the end of each chapter seem far too simple to me and are much easier than the 7 or so sample questions on the Oracle page for this exam. Any thoughts from those who have taken the exam and used this book?

( The questions the the end of the first few chapters are trivial ... they then become more relevant ).
Well I found the book helpful and from what I can remember the practice tests helped point some gaps I had.
Typically I think I find real exams sometimes need a bit longer than that on some of the practice tests.
I personally only use practice tests when i think i have learnt all material as a check to where i'm at and to identify gaps.
I will even leave the end of chapter tests under i think i have grasped everything.
And I will never take end of chapter tests if i have read that chapter earlier in the day!
( If i get tempted must take end of chapter tests early then i choose a reasonably meaty chapter about 1/3 into the book).
The book was enough for me .... but it may not be so for everyone ... we can be different and start from different places.
Someone mentioned they got rhu the test easily in an hour .... well i was pushing time the whole way through!
