Exam 1Z0-045

Hi Guys,
I am currently a certified 8i Oracle Database (OCP). In order to be upgraded
to 10g Oracle Database (OCP), one exam (1Z0-045) is required. However, I
have been looking for the studying material for that exam for some time.
Beside the Instructor Led Training course, I cannot find any information. I
have been searching for these for some days.
If you are aware of any resources, books please let me know. Self test software is not ready for this exam yet.
Thanks

1Z0-042 + 1Z0-043 are the two components that make up a reasonable introductory 10g DBA. 1Z0-045 simply concentrates on those portions of the above two courses that an 8i OCP does not already know.
If you know the material in 042 & 043, you have no problem with 045. If competence counts, reviewing the 042/3 material is the way to go. If getting certification through rote memorization is the goal, well ... then it's probably better to wait for the test-specific study guide.

  • 1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

    Hi,
    I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
    But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
    Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
    I appreciate for your information.
    Thanks
    Amit

    The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

  • 1Z0-045 (for 8i OCPs or Gold DBA 10g)

    Hello Gurus, OTN members,
    Please clear my doubt about upgrade certification exam.
    I am Oracle 8i OCP certified (DBA track); I want to upgrade myself from 8i to 10g; for which I selected paper code "1Z0-045" title "Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i OCPs"
    I have enrolled myself for it, but at oracle test center, they use OTC tool which connects to pearsonave, where I log on & can select my exam paper code.
    They are not using perasonave web browser to conduct the examination.
    The reason they use OTC tool so as they need to give the voucher number instead they put order number.
    Now, the issue is with this OTC tool, I can see the exam code "1Z0-045" however the exam title reflects as "Gold DBA 10g" (it NOWHERE shows title "Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i OCPs") -- But it (title) is there in the pearsonave website.+
    I am NOT interested to write this exam title, but according to Oracle test center it is the same & will have NO effect on upgrade path & the certificate.
    My purpose of giving this exam is to upgrade myself from 8i OCP to 10g OCP; I am doubting if the syllabus is same and is this really a correct exam code+title.
    I request you to please suggest me what I should do & confirm if these paper code, title are same or different.
    PS: There are some oracle partner institute which have no issue conducting exam from pearsonave website after providing the voucher name for the same paper code + title "1Z0-045 Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i OCPs".

    They both are same.
    Can be found that this has a different title for OTC

  • Which book topics to follow for exam 1Z0-007? Sybex or Oracle press?

    Hi, I am studying following both books for exam 1Z0-007 but sybex book by Chip Dawes covers more topics then oracle book. I am wondering if i still need to study those topics in sybex book which are not covered in oracle press book? For example DML Locks have been discussed in detail in sybex book as compare to oracle book and few topics are missing in oracle press and don't know if there will be any question in the exam from those topics?
    1) OCP Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL Exam Guide by Jason Couchman
    2) OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide by Chip Dawes, Biju Thomas
    Can anyone pls advise? Also i like to know if SelfTest software covers same questions which are in sybex and oracke press book? Because SelfTest software has same questions for microsoft exams which are already in the cd of microsoft official press books.
    Thanks

    The proper method is to look at the exam topics on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_007] which is authorative.
    either the Sybex or Oracle Press book is authorative, and sometimes exam changes after these are printed (with revision from 9iR1 to9iR2 for example).
    In general you should probably have enough material in the two books given for this exam. Its probably cheaper to take the exam itself rather than buy additional Selftest questions. Your time may well be better spent practicing the things you have trouble with. Also be aware these books can have errors. And learn whichever is in either book even if it isnt examined. Its good for you!

  • Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press).

    Hi, I am planning to appear in the 1Z0-051 test. and got the book (OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press). this is an old copy, and does not have the CD with the sample exam.
    Are the questions on the exam CD same as at the end of the book, or are those different than those in the book. I don't want to buy the book, if I don't have to.

    Saying that you do not want to buy a book does not endear you to the auhors
    Nore that I am only a part author of that one, my colleague Roopesh was an equal (or greater) contributor.
    I have not gone through the material on the CD, but I was under the impression that it was the same as the printed content. Certainly what I have seen of all the illegal copies that criminals put up on web sites for thieves to download suggests that. THere are other sets of a few hundred questions on the McGraw-Hill website, I think if you can demonstrate that your copy is legal you will have access to them.
    Overall, I would make two suggestions. First, do not rely on dummy questions. They are not the real thing (which would be illegal) and all they do is lt you confirm that you have studied the relevant material. There is absolutely no point in repeating them unil you get all right, which is what some people do. Second, do not do that exam at all, it is out of date. Do the 1z0-061 exam insead. Roopesh's book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071820280 is excellent.

  • Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning exam 1Z0-054

    Hi,
    I want to take the certification Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning exam 1Z0-054 and want to write the exam.
    To earn the OCE credentials, I know that we need to take training from Oracle University. I am not an OCP currently.
    Can I write the exam now and later take the course to meet the certification requirements? I know it is not the right way, but I can not pay $3000 for the course as of now. I can write the exam through self study. I want to check if I can take the exam now and later take the course.
    Is it mandatory to take the course before taking the exam?
    Thanks,

    1) complete, submit and get verified the OU authorised 11g perftune course (possible but seems a little cart before horse).
    or
    2) Become 11g DBA OCP.

  • I Just Did the Exam 1Z0-047 - What's Next?

    I just passed my first (Internationally Recognized) Oracle exam 1Z0-047. Hmmm, i got %83. I think its good since its my first exam, i felt i could make it better up to %90+. The paper shows 9 bullet points of topics that i may show review. The topics they mentioned i know it really well. Shall i take the exam again? I don't think its a big deal probably %83 is good. Anyway, the exam center gave me a printed paper of my total score. They said Oracle will send another Certification to my address. Which Certification is official? The one i have been given by the exam center is a printed cert (black and point). Which one should i show to the employers?
    I'm happy as well as sad because i knew the mistakes i made are silly (i wish to rid of the bullet points argghhhh) + i did the exam after having at least 3 months college hands on experience.

    NO DO NOT TRY TO TAKE ANY PASSED EXAM AGAIN - its against certification candidate agreements : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=138]
    Although the suggested topics are a guide dont dwell on them too much; if you feel you know them ell enough thats fine; move on. Because of the effects of small samples sizes on individual topics these can easily become skewed.

    Keep both. 1z0-047 is an exam with fulfills a certification requirement so you get a success pack including a certificate; and thats even more important. Thats the best one to show to your employer; but it may be 8 / 10 weeks beforeyou received it. (NB: Oracle does not send a copy of your exam report - they will only send certificates - however there might be changes when they move to Prometric).
    I'm happy as well as sad because i knew the mistakes i made are silly (i wish to rid of the bullet points argghhhh) + i did the exam after having at least 3 months college hands on experience.Then your mistakes will help you for the future.

  • 11g book for the New feature exam 1z0-050

    Hi All
    Are you using the following book from Oracle press to prepare the 11g New feature exam 1z0-050. Reviewers are only giving 2 stars out of 5.
    (http://www.amazon.com/OCP-Oracle-Database-11g-Administrators/dp/0071496823/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217612421&sr=1-3 )
    I agree to the reviewers that the books is containing a lot of errors, but I still think it is a good book in order to prepare the exam.
    Hopefully we will get a error list publish on the oracle press web site.
    Please share your experience in that thread.
    thanks

    Hmm understood.I will have to map the Sources Topics to the Exams Topics than just having a "served food", like an ordinary exam, its fair enough.
    Its just the concepts concerned are many and many are complex, so specifially here I would require a specially fit OPC book like for SQL Expert.
    Luckily I'd oredered yours at least.
    See SQL Experts, I found the topics quite affordable and I advance quick about 1-2 chapters + Sumed Revision per day, and without questions or errors.
    I guess because of
    1.the OPC Book
    2. since my curent internship is on SQL Analysis
    3. my Thesis was creating an essential DBMS in C++ with embeded SQL Parser and PhP ODBC driver from Scratch
    So I may try start having a look at SQL Tunning also, thus I dont think I could really achieve in paralel preparing for both and with the Internship also.
    Thank you very much once again.

  • Exam 1Z0-047

    Is it good in preparing for the exam.Is it better than Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals or Oracle Database 11g SQL in helping you to pass the 1Z0-047 Exam

    Is it good in preparing for the exam.Probably, but bear in mind I haven't taken it. But it will cut my prep. time for this exam by an estimated 75%. Bear in mind my SQL is pretty reasonable but I've non really had the chance to focus on analytics functions and some other recently introduced topics ... i tend to drop to PL/SQL when the going gets tough ... which is sometimes a winning strategy but sometimes its the wring thing to do.
    Is it better than Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals or Oracle Database 11g SQL in helping you to pass the 1Z0-047 ExamIf you are taliking about books the answer is almost certainly yes (if you are talking about training courses the answer is less clearcut). However my opinion is that when using a exam focused book you should always be prepared to access Original Oracle Documentation and possilbly other SQL books; and if your not familiar with the subject to get some additional non-exam focused training as well.

  • Is UCertify any good for exam 1Z0-007?

    Hi, I am thiking about buying UCertify practise questions for exam 1Z0-007, i am wondering if anyone has used it in the past and how good is their product?
    I can't afford Transcender prep material, the other option is SelfTest but they provide money back guarentee in 2nd shot. Ucertify offers more practise questions then SelfTest but really don't know how good they are?
    Does SelfTest offer same practise questions which comes in Oracle press book CD?
    I have already studied the sybex and Oracle press book but there are few topics which you really can't memorized them like functions , sybex book has covered alot of functions as compared to Oracle press book and i know the half of them becuase i have used them in my job. So if i buy SelfTest practise questions then do i need to practise only those functions which have been covered in practise exams? Or other function topics can be asked in real exam?
    Thanks

    ThanksInteresting question.
    Its always good to refer back to [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
    Usually I find myself refering people back to that because they are going for unauthorised learning material, but I'll refer you to that as compliment for staying on the right route, and also because it has a couple of tips that might help.
    Obviously Transcender/Selftest are the authorised practice test providers, (though they are now both owned by the same company Kaplan IT) and it is not recommended to buy both Transcender and Selftest for the same exam as material may be similar. Generally they market Transcender is better but more expensive (certainly for more recent exams).
    [http://www.certguard.com] shows the offical Ucertify website as a SAFE website so you would be IMHO showing sufficient due dillegence in purchasing from this Vendor. Be aware however that unscrupulous third parties may be trying to either pretend to be Ucertify when they are not by setting up similar sounding websites and others may be selling Ucertify material in beach of conditions. Anyway a quick prowse round for me in the UK shows:
    A uCertify 1z0-007 is currently on special offer at just under 1/2 the price of the oracle exam
    A Selftest Software Practice Test 30 day online access is about just over 1/2 the price of the oracle exam
    A Selftest unlimied time software download is a about 80% of the cost of the oracle exam.
    At a guess without looking Transcender will probably be 20-30% more expensive than Selftestsoftware.
    Bear in mind I have not seen tests from any of these Vendors myself. From my memory, which is imperfect, I recall seeing comments that uCertify was typically of a lower quality than say transcender for some tests. However even if this was true it may have changed.
    To some extent for you wishing to minimze expenditure the question is is forking out extra money on practice tests worth it when you may pass the exam anyway?
    To some exent there should be enought practice tests between the Orace and Sybex Books and associated CDROM's to cover the exam well enough anyways (though bear in mind this is an older exam was have had an update to topics since exam was printed .... and arguably quality has usually improved somewhat with books for later exams like 1z0-051). You may however have exhausted all he test/practice questions too early, and a test question/exam is mos valuable the first time you see it, and it loses value the second time you see it as you may remember the answer. I try to take practice tests only after I think I have practiced and learnt all the material fully (and this applies even to the end of chapter practices).
    My suggestion would be:
    Dont answer any practice tests for a week (or two).
    Make flashcards of the thing you need to memorize.
    Practice and revise through the books you hve (but dont look at questions).
    To not revise immediately before taking practice tests.
    Then go through the questions at the end of the chapters.
    However well you did re-revise the chapter afterwards, make ore flashcards if necessary.
    If you got less than say 85% on any chapter redo that 2/3 days later.
    Then take CDROM practice tests. If your getting less than 85% then dont go back to the next test but redo difficult areas.
    If your getting 80 - 85% on the last CDROM test then take the exam.
    (or if you really feel you need to buy some prctice tests).
    Lookout in the FAQs for advice by Hans also.
