Help me clear the OCP sql and pl/sql exam

can anybody out there guide me how should i proceed with the preparation and what all should i study to clear the SQL and PL/SQL OCP exam.
thank you all in advance..

Try going for the Exam Cram. The exam at the end of the book will definitely help a lot. The rest of the book might help, so just give it a try.

Hello people...
I'm taking a preparation course for the Oracle DBA certification exam. I just finished preparing for the first exam -- SQL and PL/SQL.. The book I used for the course Oracle 8i DBA Certification Exam Guide as well as TEach yourself SQL in 21 days and Teach yourself PL/SQL in 21 days...
I'd say I'm prepared to pass the exam... Before I make my first attempt, I am thinking of going through the Exam Cram for the first exam. However, judging from the reviews on amazon.com, the book doesn't seem to be helpful...
Anyone have any tips or recommendations before I take the exam? Should I go through the Exam Cram? If not, are there better books to go through for last minute preparations?
Also, how many questions on the exam and what percentage do I need to pass?
Any input would be much appreciated... Thanks for ur help!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

What is the diffrence between package javax.sql and java.sql

Is javax designed for J2EE?
And when to use package javax?

Hi,
What is the diffrence between package javax.sql and java.sql?The JDBC 2.0 & above API is comprised of two packages:
1.The java.sql package and
2.The javax.sql package.
java.sql provides features mostly related to client
side database functionalities where as the javax.sql
package, which adds server-side capabilities.
You automatically get both packages when you download the JavaTM 2 Platform, Standard Edition, Version 1.4 (J2SETM) or the JavaTM 2, Platform Enterprise Edition, Version 1.3 (J2EETM).
For further information on this please visit our website at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/index.html
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Help!!!: catalog.sql and catproc.sql damage my db

after running the file my.sql (see below), i encounter some error:
when i try to edit the table data, the following error displayed:
ORA-04045 ... SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT
ORA-06508 ...
ORA-06512 ...
ORA-06508 ...
ORA-06512 ...
then i go to the package SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT, the status is "invalid", i try to recompile it, the following error displayed:
ORA-04045 ... SYS.CDC_ALTER_CTABLE_BEFORE
ORA-06508 ...
ORA-06512 ...
ORA-06508 ...
ORA-06512 ...
my db works well before running the file my.sql. it seems the execution of catalog.sql and catproc.sql cause the error. i am using 9i, and the document histories show that the catalog.sql and catproc.sql are last updated in Apr,2001.
my questions are:
1.with 9i db, do i need to run the two files?
2.how can i recover my db?(i don't have backup, can i use redoXX.log?)
***my.sql***
connect sys/change_on_install@orcl as sysdba
@/opt/oracle/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
connect sys/change_on_install@orcl as sysdba
CREATE database mydb
@/opt/oracle/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
***my.sql***

how can i get my db work properly just as it was?
what do you mean by "create database script"?
Database configuration assistant allows you to create the database template and then save it as a set of scripts that you
can later customize and run to create the database. If you created your "create database scripts" using this option then
these scripts automatically run the catproc.sql and catalog.sql scripts along with several other scripts.
If you use Database configuration assistant to create such a set of DB creation scripts, than look at the
CreateDBCatalog.sql script, as you can see it runs both the scripts. so, if you do it this way, you do not need to do any
extra steps (apart from your custom scripts that may be part of your post install steps).
A sample of such DB creation script will be as below (for your reference):
===================================================================
connect SYS/change_on_install as SYSDBA
set echo on
spool /home/oracle/Ora9i/assistants/dbca/logs/CreateDBCatalog.log
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql;
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/rdbms/admin/catexp7.sql;
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/rdbms/admin/catblock.sql;
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql;
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/rdbms/admin/catoctk.sql;
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/rdbms/admin/owminst.plb;
connect SYSTEM/manager
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/sqlplus/admin/pupbld.sql;
connect SYSTEM/manager
set echo on
spool /home/oracle/Ora9i/assistants/dbca/logs/sqlPlusHelp.log
@/home/oracle/Ora9i/sqlplus/admin/help/hlpbld.sql helpus.sql;
spool off
spool off
exit;

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
You can activate by telephone:

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.

I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app. I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind. I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far. I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library. I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it. Please help!

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

Can i run all the SQL And PL/SQL in Oracle SQL Developer?

hi all
I have heard that Oracle Sql Developer is a free editor for Oracle DB from Oracle.
Is it possible to run all the the procedres and functions in that editor
is there any limitation for that ,can i run all the things that we can run on the SQL Plus
if anybody knows please let me know
thanks & regards

Interesting way of putting it.
When it comes to SQL and PL/SQL, SQLPlus and SQL Developer do not really 'run' very much.
Most of the time, these things are just shells that pass the SQL and PL/SQL requests to the appropriate engine (database) which will run the command.
The challenges are:
- will the shell interpret the request as something to pass to an engine?
- will the shell display the response from the engine appropriately?

Reexecuting the catalog.sql and catproc.sql

what will happened if we re execute the catalog.sql and catproc.sql on existing running oracle database ? is some thing is distructive or what ?

what will happened if we re execute the catalog.sql and catproc.sql on existing running oracle database ? is some thing is distructive or what ?what's the reason to re-running them? Any errors?
Catalog - creates data dictionary views.
Catproc - create in built PL/SQL Procedures, Packages etc
Dictionary objects might go INVALID and you need to run utlrp.sql to validate them.
No harm in running. But, its time consuming and resource consuming.

I have bought a new IPad 2 and I want to give my old one to my Daughter. How do I clear the old one and reinstall my appps to the new one?

I have purchased a IPad2 and I want to give my old IPad to my daughter. How do I clear the old IPad and transfer my apps and purchased item to the new IPad2?

You can copy any purchased items that aren't already on your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy everything over to the new iPad then you can back up the old iPad by right-clicking (command-clicking on a Mac) the iPad under Devices when connected to your computer's iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad.
When you are happy that eveything has copied over you can log out of you account on the old iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then wipe its content via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Setings.

Hi
I would like to capture all the SQL and PL/SQL with full syntax in a sequence that is being executed in the last 30 or 40 min for a particular session in sqlplus.
Enabling SQL trace is not an option.
Will appreciate your input.

Welcome to the Forum.
Most important information (especially for such queries) is Oracle Version.
Is AUDITING an option?
Flashback can provide UNDO SQL.
For SQL there are many options...
