Hmm...seems there is no upgrade from 1Z0-042 to 1Z0-052

Hi guys,
As Im currently holding 1z0-042 certificate I was planning to take
1z0-052 as well by upgrading it but on oracle's site amongst available
upgrade exams i cannot find this one. Strange though, there is update
exam from 1z0-043 to 1z0-053.
Maybe 1z0-042 -- 1z0-052 upgrade is mentioned "somewhere else" that i missed out ???
Guys, please share what you know about it.
Thanks.

People often mix the exams entity and the Certifications entity, and that doesn't help their understanding of things.
These is not actually a '1z0-042' certificate. There is a 10g DBA OCA certificate which indicates oracle has confirmed you have met the associated requirements (A 1z0-042 exma pass and an SQL exam pass (or SQL exam exemption).
There is no 'update exam from 1z0-043 to 1z0-053.'. The is however an exam 1z0-050 that can be used by a 10g DBA OCP to attain a 11g DBA OCP certiifcation.
So with reqard to your question, which I shall rephase as why isn't there a upgrade certification from 10g DBA OCA to 11g DBA OCA like there is from 10g DBA OCP to 11g DBA OCP ?
I will suggest reasons as follows:-
- A 10g DBA OCP needing to get to 11g DBA OCP would need to take 2 exams rather than the one upgrade exam.
- The upgrade exam can specifically focus on new features in 11g ... This allows/forces/enables the OCP upgrade candidate to go into depth on new features of 11g.
- - - This is good for the candidate and for Oracle.
- The 10g DBA OCA candidate needing 11g DBA OCA can obtain it by taking the 1z0-052 anyway. (and there is 80% commonality of topics betwen 1z0-042 and 1z0-052).
---- (Note if someone has taken 1z0-042 previously but does not have an SQL exam pass this would be needed in addition to 1z0-052).
- It is more important a Candidate shows mastery of the DBA by takingtopics in the 1z0-043/1z0-053 sections than redoing DBA OCA topics.
There was something else I was doing tosay but i've forgotton it.

  • Seems counter-intuitive to upgrade from QuickTime 10.3 to QuickTime 7 just to get to QuickTime Pro.  Is there no QuickTime 10.3 Pro?

    It seems counter-intuitive to upgrade from QuickTime 10.3 to QuickTime 7 just to get to QuickTime Pro.  Am I missing something here?  Is there no QuickTime 10.3 Pro?

    QuickTime Pro is based on the QuickTime 7 code, and requires it to run. The old QuickTime was initially intended for movie and sound bites, such as you might find embedded in a Web page. It was not intended for handling the massive size and quantity of current movie and music formats, and Apple had to work the code in odd ways to get it to run the latest content. Not being ideal, Apple decided to re-write QuickTime from the ground up. It has kept QuickTime 7 and its supported features (ie, QuickTime Pro) for compatibility, but is moving foward with the next generation of QuickTime, called QuickTime X. So far this does not have a "Pro" version add-on, and Apple has not indicated it is developing one. For now, if you want advanced features you will need to use software like Final Cut Pro, or a third-party program, which make these routines available to you. There are also a number of third-party tools that do similar features, without interfacing with QuickTime at all.

  • Is there an educational upgrade from PS CS5.1 to PS CS6?

    Is there an educational upgrade from PS CS5.1 to PS CS6?

    Educational versions can be upgraded to a commercial license, but you do not get an educational price break, simply because the cost of a new educational version is cheaper than a commercial upgrade if you still qualify for educational pricing.
    If you no longer qualify, then, yes, you can upgrade to a commercial license at the regular commercial upgrade rate,

  • Are there any Firefox upgrades from 2.0.0.20 for MAC OS X 10.39?

    Ever since Firefox suggested upgrade to 3.6 I have been unable to reply or create new e-mail. I have an older Mac OS X 10.39 and am unable to upgrade to the Firfox version 3.6 from the existing version 2.0.0.20.

    There are no updates available for you, Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last version that works on OS X 10.3.9, later versions of Firefox require at least OS X 10.4

  • Is there a DVD upgrade from Lightroom 5 to Lightroom 6?

    I currently have Lightroom 5.7 that I installed initially from dvd.  I would prefer to have an upgrade DVD rather than do the download.
    Does Adobe have an upgrade DVD available?
    I am running Yosemite (Mac OS 10.10.3) on an old iMac.
    I also use Lightroom on an old MacBook Pro.
    Both versions are licensed.  I am assuming that I can up Lightroom on both computers with my present perpetual licenses.
    Thank you.

    Hi Bobbi-
    You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a part of the creative cloud photography package, part of creative cloud, as a stand alone product or as a product upgrade. You can purchase the non cloud products here: Products
    You can purchase the cloud products here: Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    If you want a dvd instead of a download, the product can be purchased as a boxed dvd product at resellers, but if you only need an upgrade, you will need to purchase the upgrade online.
    There is more information here:

  • Bootcamp - Seems there is no Support for Windows 8.1 once it is loaded. Just got off the Microsoft Help line and they refused to help me because I was running Win 8.1 in Bootcamp. Where do I go for help?

    Bootcamp - Seems there is no Support from Microsoft  for Windows 8.1, once it is loaded.
    I Just got off the Microsoft Technical Help line (Australia ph132058) and they refused to help me because I am running Win 8.1 in Bootcamp.
    I have the latest Mac Book Pro Retina with a 1TB Solid State Hard drive running Win 8.1, beautiful machine, but its slower than my old MBP running windows 7 on a standard Drive.
    The niggiling problem is that it seems to hang up for seven or 8 seconds on menial tasks........ like generating a new Folder or Note etc. Otherwise it runs reasonably well but not blindingly fast....
    I wasn't aware Microsoft refused to help win 8.1 users on the Mac Platform........ shouldn't this Information be made more public...! Seems they are keen to drive potential Windows users away!!
    Any suggestions on where I should go for help on this (Windows/Bootcamp in General) would be much appreciated ? ........ don't mind paying a reasonable price if the service is good......
    I guess the wheel has turned and Microsoft are having a go at Apple again...?
    Many thanks ....... Martin V

    Thanks Turbostar.
    I was thinking along the same lines. I installed Win 8.0 Pro and upgraded to 8.1 ........ probably a bad move.
    I have bought a new 8.1 Licence but cant risk doing a complete reinstall until I have a back up machine ready. (My old MBP is getting a new hard drive) ......... so will give that a go in about a weeks time when the back up is in place. Cant risk having nothing!
    When you say "Clean Install" ..... do you mean everything ..... as in Reformat the Bootcamp sector and start from scratch.?
    I have a 2 TB LaCie Thunderbolt drive with my back up data on ..... is there a way to make the Reinstall process and large amount of Data transfer easy?
    The reinstall is something I need to read up on. I was hoping the solution might be some kind of Tune up on the SSHD.
    Good to hear you have a number of MBP's that are flying, I would be disappointed if the final quality wasnt a bit better.
    ..... do you have any tips on screen Res on the Retina ..... I am running Windows at 125% Zoom, but the Bluetooth, power, wireless, Date Icons etc are all still tiny ...... could really do with an alternative to the old "Advanced Appearance Settings"
    cheers ..... Martin V

  • Can I install Windows 7 upgrade (from XP) to BootCamp?

    I currently use Snow Leopard and have a Boot Camp partition running Windows XP Professional. It was a pain to install, because I had the upgrade version, and you can't eject CDs from the optical drive during the installation process to put the old CD in to prove you already own a copy of Windows. Let's just say I found a way around that and was able to install XP which currently works fine.
    I am now considering trying out Windows 7. If I get it, it will be the upgrade version as well. Will it be possible to install that to Boot Camp from XP? I know there are issues upgrading from XP to Windows 7, in that it has to be a custom install. I don't care about losing Windows settings and files; in fact, I would much prefer to do a clean install. Does anyone know if that is possible using an upgrade CD or will I have the same problem of not being able to eject the CD to put an old one in during the installation process?

    If you thought what I was saying was off-base, perhaps you still don't understand my question, since none of your answers has addressed it.
    I don't want to do the "upgrade" process. I was very familiar, even before you posted several links saying the same thing over and over, that you can't do that from XP to Win 7 anyway, but even if you could you wouldn't want to. I get the difference of upgrade v. migrate, etc., etc. Please don't link to it again. That is not my question.
    All I want to know is this: If you are using an upgrade CD to install Windows 7 (as opposed to a full install CD, and not to be confused with the "upgrade" process), will there be an issue with switching it out during installation and not being able to get it out of the optical drive?
    When I clean-installed XP to Boot Camp using an upgrade XP CD, you couldn't do that, because it needed proof of a prior copy of Windows during the installation process and there was no way to switch out the discs. This was a weird glitch of needing to eject from the optical drive during the installation process but having no way to do so at that particular point in the installation. It had nothing to do with anything about Windows licenses, upgrade pathways, etc. It was a technical oddity because of the hardware.
    From Apple support site re. XP and Vista with Boot Camp:
    "Important: _You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc._ Service pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations. Do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later to service pack 2. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows."
    You don't need to answer this. BlueDevilKurz somehow understood exactly what I was asking and responded several posts ago as well as anyone can until Windows 7 is actually released and we know for sure. But if you want to, it's a Yes or No question, with a second bonus Yes or No question.
    1. Can I use an upgrade Windows 7 CD/DVD (rather than full install media) to install Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition that currently has XP?
    2. Can I use an upgrade Windows 7 CD/DVD (rather than full install media) to install Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition that is currently empty (no XP installed)?

  • Upgrading from Solaris 10 s10_72 (beta) so patches work

    Hi,
    What is the recommended way to go from
    Solaris 10 s10_72 X86 (beta) to a release that I can actually patch?
    Thanks!

    So I took the upgrade option from the 6/05 release I downloaded today from the Express program.

    Am I now on a patchable a supportable platform?
    (Previous threads had said there was no upgrading from Beta - but I appear to have done it with 6/05)
    Thanks!

  • Problems upgrading from Photoshop CS or CS2 to CS3

    I have a copy of Photoshop CS3 Extended and it is the upgrade version. I have both CS and CS2 but they don't seem to work to upgrade from. Is this copy of CS3 worthless?

    try using the cs2 serial number here, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 when prompted for the qualifying product's serial number.
    if that fails, you should be able to install ps cs2 from that link and then install your cs3 upgrade.

  • Upgrade from CS2 Education to CS5 Full Commercial?

    Hello,
    I'm new to this forum. I have a question regarding upgrading to CS5. I don't think there's been another question on this specific question I have. If there is, sorry for posting it again.
    Basically, I have a copy of the CS2 Design Premium Education version. Now I would like to upgrade it to the CS5 Design Premium Commercial version. I didn't need to work from home previously, so never really needed the commercial licence for my laptop. But now it's time to get one so I can work anywhere.
    I know there is an upgrade from CS2 to CS5 version that I can purchase but it doesn't tell me if it can be used on the Education version too.
    Can anyone confirm that the upgrade does work on an Education version too?
    Thanks heaps.
    Leanne

    You brought up a few issues here.
    (1) If you bought an upgrade that you cannot use, please call Adobe Customer Support (via phone) and see what can be done to let you return the software. There should not be any problem if this is within 30 days of purchase, but even if not, they should be supportive. If the first agent you speak to can't assist, ask for their supervisor.
    (2) The copy of CS3 that was installed on your Mac by your employer is likely a volume license which cannot be upgraded via a standard upgrade license. Note that if your employer installed the software using their volume serial number, that software license belongs to your employer and not you personally. It that employer is in fact your ex-employer, you no longer have legal rights to use that software which was licensed to your ex-employer. (Note that purchasers of volume licenses cannot unbundle a volume license by either giving away copies such as to former employees or sell such copies!)
