Exam guides for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146

We have exams guides for 1Z0-051 & 1Z0-052 like
http://www.oracle-base.com/misc/OCPCertification.php
Do we have such books for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams too?
If not, please also let me know the best books to study for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams?
Thanks,

There are no specifically exam focused books for these exams now or in the pipeline as far as I am aware. (This is the cause in fact for the majority of oracle certification examinations that are available).
If not, please also let me know the best books to study for 1Z0-144 & 1Z0-146 exams?
This has been discsussed previously on the forum.
Some simple searching yields for example : {thread:id=1025815}
The Oracle Documentation itself is in fact quite good, and sometimes IMHO better than the books!

Exam Guide for SABE201V3.0 and SABE301V3.0

Hi, Can anyone help me finding out the Exam guide for SABE210V3.0 and SABE301V3.0 exam. I was going to register for XI R2 certification in Pearsonvue and while selecting exam I came to know about this exam. Instead of 3 BOXI R2 and one Update exam I think we can give just 2 XI 3.0 exams.
I tried to find the Exam guide to know what all is covered in which exam i.e. level 1 or level 2 but could not find it. SAP site has given link for XI 3.0 exam guide which goes to PearsonVue site but end up displayng "Requested page is missing"
Can anyone help? I plan to give exam soon.
Just FYI: If you go to pearson site and look for exam then it does not show 3.0 exam. You have to login to select exam then only you will see xi 3.0.
Thanks,
Kalpesh

Exam for BOXI 3.0 is yet not complete. Third level question is yet not available. After my enquiry with BO that paper is removed from PearsonVue website.

OCA - Choice between 1Z0-144,1Z0- 047 and 1Z0- 051

Hello everyone,
I am a developer working on Java EE and our DB is Oracle 10g.
I intend to take an exam that prepares me for :
1. Writing DDL,DML and usage of functions
2. Creating cursors,procedures,triggers,indexes etc.
3. Focus on writing efficient queries - sub-queries,joins,manipulating BLOBs etc.
4. Creating & using Java-like 'collections' in the DB
Given the above requirements, I decided to go for OCA certification. I realized the following path from Oracle's site :
_1Z0-047_ Oracle
Database SQL Expert
OR
_1Z0-051_ Oracle Database
11g: SQL Fundamentals
I
AND
Program with PL/SQL
_1Z0-147_
OR
Oracle Database 11g:
Program with PL/SQL
_1Z0-144_
Now,I am quite unsure as to which exam I must target first.
Given my requirements,please suggest the best approach( I know the basics of PL/SQL )
Thanks !

Thanks for the replies, guys !
Just to prevent the fragmentation of the information, I am posting my further question in this thread itself.
My objective now is to consolidate the study material for 1Z0-051.
After scanning the previous threads, I got the following suggestions :
OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass
SQL Developer guide from the oracle documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com
OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) ISBN-13: 978-0470395127 sybex.
I prefer to read a certification oriented book to get started and the other stuff - forums,documentation,references for practice.
Hence,please suggest the appropriate study material.
Thanks !

Newly Added Topics Missing From steve o'hearn Exam Guide (1Z0-047)

Hi,
I am planning to take exam 1Z0-047.
I got to se the exam guide for this,(OCA Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-047)) by Steve o'hearn in market.
But it seems that syllabus of the exam is modified on 15th september 2014; and newly added topics are NOT present in the exam guide.
Below are the objectives and topics I feel are missing from the book.
Restricting and Sorting Data
Use the SQL row limiting clause**
Create queries using the PIVOT and UNPIVOT clause**
Use pattern matching to recognize patterns across multiple rows in a table**
Displaying Data from Multiple Tables
Use the cross_outer_apply_clause**
Using Subqueries to Solve Queries
Create a lateral inline view in a query**
Using DDL Statements to Create and Manage Tables
Truncate tables, and recursively truncate child tables**
Use 12c enhancements to the DEFAULT clause, invisible columns, virtual columns and identity columns in table creation/alteration**
Manipulating Large Data Sets
Use explicit default values in INSERT and UPDATE statements**
We can find material on these topicsover internet(in fact I have actually worked on few of these topics already as part of my job.)
But i prefer referring to book as it helps to understand the scope.
I just joined the oracle forums,and not sure if I am placing this discussion on correct forum/category.
A humble request to advice if it is at wroing place.

I am just thinking what next course should I take ?
Immediate target will be obviously some PL SQL related test like 1Z0-147.
BUT what to do after that ?
In my work experinece so far, I have worked as a developer, senior developer(mainly in maintenace projects , both OLTP and OLAP projects I have worked for.
that is, small as well as relatively big data volumes.Right from simple DB to DW systems of big enterprise corporation where millions of transactions happen and enter into system each day). I have also participated in database designing when I worked on project where database was being designed from scratch. so, I am aiming/aspiring for a role something like Designer or architect roles in the long run.
I'm glad you found my page useful. I actually recommend 1Z0-144 over 1Z0-147. The two exams are equivalent in their results, but I feel 144 is the better exam. Also, 147 was almost retired at one point. OU backed off, but may put it back on the chopping block at any time. I wrote an article explaining why I prefer 144 here:
Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certification: 1Z0-147 or 1Z0-144?
As to the step after that, 1Z0-146 is the obvious one to gain the PL/SQL OCP. 147/144 will only gain the OCA-level cert.
If you want to end up as a designer or architect, eventually you must get into database design, which would argue pursuing the DBA track.
Millions of transactions implies a significant requirement for performance tuning which would argue for the SQL Tuning (1Z0-117) or performance certifications (1Z0-054/1Z0-064).

Guide for 9A0-602 certification exam

I have planned to do Flash mx 2004 developer certification, i
need a good study guide where i can prepare for the exam. I'm an
intermediate in flash. Can any one help me ?. Thanks in
advance.

Hi,
Flash MX 2004 is an old version of Flash and I guess its exam
will be removed from the database soon, so i suggest taking the
most recent exam, especially with Adobe exam policy that your
certification will expire 6 months after the new software version
unless you took a recertification exam.
And for the exam guide for Flash MX 2004, peachpit.com is the
publisher for the Flash MX exam. So, i think you may find the MX
2004exam guide there

Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
The two exams I will be taking are the :
1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams. I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144. I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however. The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle). You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only). I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise. Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements. I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

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.

Errors in 1z0-051 and 1z0-061 Official Oracle exam guides

What can we do about errors in the official Oracle exam guides.
I am doing the 1z0-061 (Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals).
The 051 and 061 exams are exactly the same.
051 is written by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass and the 061 is written by Ramklass, but the thing is, both books have the same content word for word.
I found these errors in the books:
(1.) In chapter 08 (Using subqueries to solve problems) in both books it says "A subquery can be used to select rows for insertion but not in a VALUES clause of an INSERT statement".
But this is wrong. You CAN use a subquery in a VALUES clause: This will work ->
INSERT INTO values_test (f1) VALUES ((SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL));
However you have to have the 2 brackets in red.
(2.)
Chapter 2: Self test question 9
The following character literal expression is selected from the DUAL table: SELECT 'Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring' FROM DUAL; (Choose the result that is returned.)
A. An error would be returned due to the presence of two adjacent quotes
B. Coda's favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
C. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
D. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring'
The books says the correct answer is B. But this is wrong.
Correct answer is C, since the "" are 2 double quotes and they will appear as it is.
Even if "", is actually 4 single quotes the output then will be Coda''s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
which has 2 single quotes.
I wrote to the author (emai [email protected]) but got no reply.
How can we let Oracle certification know that there are errors in these books. This can affect the exam and can mean the difference between passing and failing.

>The book cover says "Oracle Press", meaning Official Oracle.
No -- the name does not mean that. 'Oracle Press' is a division of the McGraw-Hill publishing company that specializes in writing books for the Oracle suite of products. Oracle has close ties with the publisher and often supplies information to the authors that is not publicly available. However, Oracle is not responsible for the content of the books.
>If not, then what ARE the Official Oracle guides?
The only thing that you could call an 'Official' Oracle guide would be student guides developed by Oracle University for one of their courses. This content is supplied to attendees of the courses. The material is copyrighted and should not be available on the Web.

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.

1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals 1 Exam Guide Problem with loading HR schema

Hi,
I’m new to Oracle Databases and have started studying with Oracle Press 11g SQL Fundamentals 1 Exam Guide 1Z0-051.
The book is good except the problem I have is the HR schema they talk about is made up off seven tables (Countries, Departments, Employees, Job_History, Jobs, Locations and Regions).
But the HR schema that I get is only made up off 4 tables (Bonus, Dept, Emp, Salgrade).
Can anyone who has used this book please advise what I’m doing wrong and how I can get the correct Schema please.

Hi,
Well I haven't used that book but with whatever little I know , I shall try to attempt the question.
There was an ancient schema for Human Resource, SCOTT which is haivng 4 tables only. Since 9i, there were an introduction of new schemas like HR ( Human Resource), OE( Order Entry) and so on. So the book is referring to that.
Now when you create the database using Database Configuration Assistant, there comes an option with a check box, that do you want to create sample schemas or not? If you select that option, you get all these schemas in your db. If not, you only get the old SCOTT schema.
If you have missed creating these schemas( which I belive is the case) than you need to manually create them. Here is the description for how to create them manually.

May i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) exam or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051)

Hi all,
Please suggest me, may i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) Test or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051) Test with
oracle Administration 1(1Z0-042) Test.
Which will be the best option.
Thanks & Regards

You may use either exam along with the Oracle Administration 1 (1Z0-042) exam if your goal is to get a 10g DBA OCA credential.
The SQL Expert exam is quite a bit more challenging than the SQL Fundamentals exam. On the other hand, the SQL Expert exam gives you a separate SQL Certified Expert credential. If you can pass it, you should take the SQL Expert exam.

On calling the test center, they told me that theres some backend issue from the Oracle ,I am not sure how true is that.
-ShashankThis can happen, espeically at weekends.
It looks like there have been some problem from at least some test ceners getting results through to Certview.
It is a weekend ... one with a bank holiday at that in some cases, though AFAIK it was on Wednesday in most if not all of India.
A lot of the experts who fix these things when broken will only be back at work on Tuesday (US local).
So it it probably best to be patient until then.
