  • I am now "Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate"

    Hi
    after very hard work I am now Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate. I attended courses (Admin I and SQL Fundamentals) 3 years ago. My Oracle knowhow is only the scope OCA 11g and have no Java know-how.
    What should I do next?
    - 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert
    or
    - 1Z0-803 Java SE 7 Programmer I
    what is simpler?

    I am searching for an easy winI'm not a big proponent of 'easy'. I'm much more a fan of 'worthwhile'. Determining what is 'easy' for you is not easy. It's hard enough figuring out what is easy for me. That said, a fast and dirty rule of thumb for comparing Oracle certifications is:
    Easiest
    OCA -- Broad range of topics -- shallow depth
    OIS -- Narrow range of topics -- moderate depth (Implementation Specialist -- dunno if they really have an accepted acronym)
    OCP -- Broad range of topics -- moderate depth
    OCE -- Narrow range of topics -- considerable depth
    OCM -- Whole different ballgame -- perform or fail
    Hardest
    Since you are asking about an OCA exam vs an OCE exam, the basic answer is going to be that the OCA exam is easier. That doesn't take into account you. For all I know, you might be mentally allergic to Java and learning it may be the hardest thing you've ever done.

    so i am interested in these Certification. It is good to get certified. I'm not sure if you are aware of that there's also an OCA PL/SQL Developer. http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155
    But of cause if you want to learn more DBA stuff then the OCA DBA is a good thing to prepare with.
    For both certifications you need to pass two exams. The first is an SQL exam which is identical for both OCAs. The second one is a PL/SQL exam for the OCA Developer and an Adminsitartion exam for the OCA DBA.

  • Books/sites for Certified Associate (exam 1Z0-042)?

    What books are recommended in order to pass exam 1Z0-042 (Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate)? Is there any one book that I can study that will help me pass this test?
    I've read that you should have some "hands-on" experience to pass the test. I have software development experience with T-SQL (sql server). But I've rarely done anything with Oracle specifically (although I've worked with pl/sql).
    Thanks.

    Download the Database and install it and your on the first step of going through exam topics
    Get time to read the Concepts guide, and maybe Admin and Performance guides from the docu library.

  • Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate: 1Z0-402 and 1Z0-403

    Hi
    there is a study guide available soon Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate Exam Guide (Exams 1z0-402 and 1z0-403), that why I will take exam ;-)

    Unfortunately LPIC expires after 5 years unless you take a higher level or retake same level .....
    RHCT similarly.
    The Oracle exam certification relates to OEL/RHEL 4 ... which is a bit oldhat rather than redht nowadays. The advantage for you is it is an easy win, the disadavantage is it doen't really say much mor eabout yourself. RHSA on RHEL 6 might suit and say more .... but might be harder to gain. Any it wouldn't help any Oracle Partnership points iof that was important. However as pointed out you should be able to waiver 1z0-402

  • Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer?

    Hi,
    I am thinking about doing an Oracle certification course- Oracle Database 11g Administrator or Oracle PL/SQL and Forms Developer.
    Oracle Database 11g OCP and OCM certification requires 3 mandatory training courses to be completed that costs between $1900 and $3250/each. Oracle PL/SQL certication doesn't require any mandatory training course.
    Which one of these would be a good choice? Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Tracy

    Regardless of which path you want to take, in order to get the OCP certification in either the DBA or PL/SQL developer track, you must first obtain the respective OCA certification for that track. I'm assuming that since you are still undecided in which path to take that you haven't started working on either yet. If you look at the pages for the OCA DBA and OCA PL/SQL Developer certs and what is required for each, you'll see that the first block of tests for either certification (the SQL based exams) has the same options (1Z0-007, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-051) and passing one of those SQL based exams gives credit towards obtaining both OCA certifications. That might be a good place to start.
    Doing one of these tests first might give you some extra time to decide which track you want to pursue. But as Justin said, it really depends on what you do (or plan on doing) in your career as to which path might be more beneficial for you.
    As for the OCM level stuff, I wouldn't even think about it until you get the OCP. One step at a time... Same with OCP before OCA. That being said, my suggestions are just that, suggestions. You're free to take any exams/courses in any order, but you won't be able to obtain the certs until you have completed the requirements for each.

  • Database 11g Administrator  or Database 10g Administrator certification?

    Which certification will better to go:
    Database 11g Administrator
    or
    Database 10g Administrator
    Thanks

    Thanks11g Database Certifications will become increasingly more imortant than 10g Database Certifications.
    The simple answer is 11g. However one could write a book on the reasons, and for some 10g would be a better choice. And others will say 10g. And at OCA level there is at least 80% commonality on the exam topics between 10g DBA OCA and 11g DBA OCP. If you are progressing to OCP DBA level then appropriate choice of a hands on course(s) may be a financially influencing factor.

  • Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I Lab files

    Hi, I was trying to do the practicals for the above workshop, but i cant seem to locate the lab files from the directory/home/oracle/labs.
    This is what happened when i try to run the lab file script.
    [oracle@localhost ~]$ /home/oracle/labs
    [oracle@localhost ~]$ ls
    Desktop labs
    [oracle@localhost ~]$ cd labs
    [oracle@localhost ~]$ ls

    CloneRmanRestore.sql orcl.sh rmanRestoreDatafiles.sql
    init.ora orcl.sql ultraSearchCfg.sql
    initorclTemp.ora postDBCreation.sql
    I was told to run the script: $ sqlplus dba1/oracle @lab_06_02_4.sql, but apparently there's no lab files for me to run the script.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
    Many thanks in advance! :D

    Hey all. I'm trying to figure out if the class "Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I Release 2" counts toward OCP certification.

It'd be a pretty spectacular waste of $3000 to take a class that doesn't count toward OCP if that's what I'm going for. :) Help appreciated!

    Sorry ... misunderstood, either the (release 1 or release 2 will count). I am not authorative on this but they are not that cruel. The main general issue is 10g classes typically cannot be used for an 11g OCP. Please note I am not authorative on this but I am as sure as I can be about the principle. Check with your local Oracle University if you need to be authoratively sure.

  • Expirence recommended for "1Z0-803 Oracle Certified Associate"

    1Z0-803 Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 7 Programmer

    Hi, as the previous answer suggests there is no recommended experience required to pass this exam. I passed the 1Z0-803 after 3 months prep. I was new to Java though have prior C++ experience.
    If you are able to read and understand all the tutorials at the below link you will probably be ready to take the exam.
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/certification/javase-7-programmer1.html
    The only advice I'd have is to practice working through questions at faster than a leisurely pace because you need to get through all the questions to pass.
    There are lots of study guides for Java 6 certification and they will all help you pass this exam. For this exam, have a look at :
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/language/enhancements.html#javase7
    for the new features in Java 7 and you won't be caught out.

  • Which book do you recommend for 'MySQL 5 Certified Associate Exam' exam?

    Hello, this is my first post. I am familiar with SQL and I use it occasionally, but I decided to get certified. Which book and material would you recommend me studying to sit the 1Z0-870 exam? Online and college courses are too expensive for me and I happen to do better studying at my own pace. Thanks.

Thanks.For certification purposes: MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide [Paperback] ISBN-13: 978-0672328121 is still probably still good (unless the topics have been updated and I haven't noticed), though perhaps dated compared to the more recent MySQL versions.
    ... That said the 1z0-870 for MySQL is relatively expensive and over simple for what it is (IMHO); and it may be worth considering going direct for the OCP.
    For using the more recent version of MySQL in practice additional books/material may be important for on the job in practice.

  • Why isn't there an Adobe Certified Associate Exam for After Effects?

    I've been traching my students Video production, and as you all know one of Premiere's best partners for this is After Effects.  I get my students to pass the ACA for Premiere Pro (we're on CS5 still) but there is nothing for After Effects.  Why is this?  These types of certifications are excellent for students - it looks great on college resumes and can count toward post-secondary exams for them in some schools.  Any idea why there isn't an ACA for this?  I know there is the ACE, but from what I've taken I know the ACE exams are more difficult than the ACA exams.  I think the ACA curriculum is great for high school students, and the ACA exam is a perfect exit exam for this age.

    iTunes doesn't handle the import of photos from a digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll, which this would involve along with creating the albums or folders on your computer for the albums created on the iPhone from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
    The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera and photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Although photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup, it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone alone for this which can be lost or stolen, or on your iPhone's backup which includes a significant amount of other data in the event a problem develops with the backup.
    Since photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera, you can create albums/folders for select photos on your computer to include photos imported from your iPhone's Camera Roll and for other photos on your computer for transfer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.

  • Solaris exam form (Oracle Solaris 10 System Administrator Certified Professional Exam)

    Hello,
    In comming days I'm going to try above Solaris 10 exam. Have some questions regarding form of exam (I couldn't find it on Oracle website):
    1. Is it multiple choice test with indication in each question how many answers are correct?
    2. Is it possible to switch questions during exam and get back later to ones which I'm not sure?
    3. Are the results given just after or later

    pete
    In the days of the Sun when even an ultrasparc 2 could run solaris 10 and some brainless clot still allowed access to the obp updates there were exams cx-310-201 and cx-310-202.
    In fact yours truly got 100% for his "manage network printers and systems processes" despite in practice my setup for printers in Glasgow coming out in Galashields.  In some ways I was quite good at printers.  
    Then around the exam had a update for S10u5 when the old ZFS and zones etc started to get really going.
    ( I completed the cx-310-202 under that update).
    Refering to Calkins ISBN-13: 978-0-7897-3790-8 for the section he considers as "Managing System processes" there is no mention of printers.
    HOWEVER there was a whole section on managing the lp printer service in that book in the very next chapter!
    But we are talking history here .... and the exam may have been through further updates ... indeed the current exam is validated against s10u11 (which is about 2/3 years old I would guess without looking it up).
    So printing may well have been dropped.  Any other topics may have had to be tweaked.
    It's obviously best you know about printing ..... but quite frankly its somewhat rate nowadays.  It can also be a but of a minefield as its been through changes with the releases.  It's quite possible it's dropped from the exam altogether.
    You have 2 reasonable choices:-
    - Study all you can about printers at s10u11.  (Go over what the online documentation says for s10u11).  I'm sure some of this stuff changed throughout the life of Solaris 10.  It shouldn't be more than one or two questions so don't spend too much time on it.
    - Raise an SR at  Oracle University - Support Form   ... Question the discrepancy on the title versus the underlying topics.  ( .. there isn't a category for this .... exam results/score report might be best) questioning the discrepancy in the topics.  Put the SR number back on this thread as if Brandye is happening to pass she might pick it up).
    ... I can't be sure of anything I have said here.  I may end up confusing rather than helping over Matthew's earlier reply.

    Thanks in advanceProbably not.
    Most organisations seeking DBA's (to do DBA work) will also require experience.
    The courses / certifications can show the knowledge, they can't do the experience.
    Traditiionally a lot of DBA's came into the job having demonstrated the aptitude elsewhere.
    That said with the market as it is at the moment methinks some organsations are demanding a call centre chai wallah has an Oracle DBA Certification. (I hope I am exagerating ... I fear I am a little too close to the truth though).
    IMHO It's generally most useful when certifications either match a persons' experience or contiguously extend from their experience.
    If it's an entry level job you're after and I was intervieiwing that an ISEB(testing); ITIL (foundation) (or COBIT) and good SQL (Even SQL Certified Expert) or entry level Microsoft ought to be more appropriate. But it doesn't alway work that way. And an ISEB(Testing) would probably not help you get a DBA job interview.
    If you've recently had an educational background and you course was relevant to an Oracle DBA that might help a lot.
    If after all that you continue with Oracle DBA courses/certification and no experience then IMHO SQL certified Expert, ITIL, and PL/SQL OCA certiifcations might help compensate for the experience ... but dont expect many employment agencies or employers to see it that may.
    Please be aware these comments have just about as much chance of being correct as bigdelboy sailing to Havenpool without ending up on a sandbank.
