How to prepare for the OCA

Hi,
I have some DBA eperience from another platform...but i need to aquire Oracle DBA skills asap...i am currently running XE on XP/pro at home.
my research tells me that XE is missing some of the features i need to prepare for the OCA exam, like EM.
my question is...what Oracle version(s) i can use to prepare for the OCA exam, it would also be nice if it was affordable.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
thanks
fitz scott

my question is...what Oracle version(s) i can use to
prepare for the OCA exam, it would also be nice if it
was affordable. To my knowledge you can download any version of the Oracle DBMS for study/development for free.

  • How I prepare for the MCP exam?

    How I prepare and how can I get the syllabus? 
    Are there books for MCP exam?

    First of all, the syllabus for each exam is in the exam description page, under the heading "Skills Measured". For instance, for exam 70-410, the exam description page is here:
    https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam-70-410.aspx. For other exams, you can change the number at the end of the URL, or find the link from www.microsoft.com/learning.
    I personally prepare for the exams by taking the Skills Measured list and checking each entry to verify that I have the corresponding knowledge. If I find an entry that I don't know much about, I search MSDN and/or Technet for documentation, or I browse
    the web for articles or tutorials on the subject.
    Alternatively, if you prefer guided learning, examine the section "Preparation Options" in the exam description page. You wil see many options such as books and courses. Not every MCP exam has a corresponding book, but many of them do, so this
    is a viable option if you are familiar enough with the subject matter to be able to learn from a book.

  • How to prepare for the update to Gingerbread

    What should I do to prepare for the Over The Air (OTA) update?
    I will have my battery charged to 101%.
    I will backup my Contacts no matter what.  It took me to long to get then straightened out!
    I will backup my Photos and Videos???
    I will backup my Music?
    NOW HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS.
    Will all the APPs that I have installed from The Market be deleted???
    What else should I backup before the update???
    Is there anything else I should do before the backup???
    Thanks folks,
    JerryF

    If you want to do a refresh for the os update by Factory reset. Then.
    1. Make sure you know all your passwords to any app services. game services, music services ect.
    2. SD is unaffected, most apps should be installed there anyway. IF developers did it right, all that is needed is a app redownload and a small file restore to games ect. THe gamedata, main files should already be on the SD. Very helpful for large games like order and Chaos online which is a very large MMO RPG. Instead of downloadign over a gig of data, it will patch 108mb, and check exsisting files only.
    3. Backup contacts to verizon if you want, that is good for switching to any phone such as a non android phone. OR emergency back-up. COntacts backup to SD will only contain the name and number.
    4. Programs or data that are installed on the main storage and not SD can be backed up with Backup pro or a similiar app. Then restored as it was with any related data.
    5. Android has smart updating when it is OTA or from SD. Because it maintains file structures, it doesn't need to alter other exsisting stuff while it overwrites the OS kernal, Radio data, ect...
    The only real issue you may run into are older apps no longer compatible with gingerbread. Same applies to ICecream testing. Icecream uses the basics of gingerbread but is scalable. The interface has been simplified and adjusted so it can run on an drid and android device. At teh core its still gingerbread modfied to run basic or run with full effects. SO if leaks or official ICecream hits all phones which is what google wants eventually, it is very adaptable across all phones and tablets.

  • How to prepare for the EBS R12 Supply Chain OCE Certification

    Hello everybody,
    I post this thread because I'm going to take the exams to get the certification as Oracle EBS R12 Supply Chain Certified Expert Consultant and I'd like to understand how to best prepare myself.
    Is there anyone who has already got this certification and can indicate me the best material to prepare myself?
    I've worked on Oracle EBS (R11) for more than nineteen months up to now, focusing on the purchasing area, but I don't think that that could be sufficient to pass the required exams...
    Thank you very much

  • How to prepare for 1zo 052 exam?

    Hi
    I have recently passed my 1zo-051 exam and i am looking forward to taking the next step to become a certfied admin profession .I am not very sure as to how to prepare for the exam should i study dumps and ebooks or should i go for practical training download the software set it up  from scratch and learn ?

    >should i study dumps and ebooks or should i go for practical training download the software set it up  from scratch and learn ?
    'Dumps' is short for Brain Dumps and these are not valid preparation materials.  Using them can cause you to be banned from the Oracle certification program.
    Installing the software is good preparation. You can also find a number of links to valid study materials here:

    Well , you won't go for shopping when there are already guests in your home , will you? In case, that didn't make much sense, I meant that you won't start reading books, pdfs, looking at websites when you are going to have an interview already scheduled for you. I can bet my money( whatever little I have) that even doing this, won't bring you any good. If your question directly or indirectly is related to the questions that the interviewer may ask, once again, this would be a total wrong approach to go for an interview. In almost no time, it can be find out whether you are speaking some crammed line or from yourself. I had a chance to sit on the other side of the hot seat and the guy in front of me was giving all teh bookish answers. I twisted the questions and I was sure that he must have not read them anywhere, guess what happened. he started fumbling and finally gave up.
    Interview is what you know, what you have done so far. Its not to start picking up LOTS of books, looking for the questions/answers and just think that the interview will happen from that only. I have some questions whose answers, at least the complete answers , you won't find anywhere. My suggestion is to just go for the interview, be honest about what you know and more about , what you don't know. You haven't committed a crime by not knowing some thing. I know nothing and I am never scared from the interviews ;-) .
    Not sure that did help or not but still, best of luck.

  • How to Prepare for C_TM_90?

    Hello guys!
    I am a new hire to SAP and I am preparing for C_TM_90 PA Exam.
    I have the general knowledge of the logistics industry but I have no background knowledge of TM9.0.
    Can anyone who has taken the exam or C_TM_80 advise me how I should prepare for the exam and how long the preparation should be?
    I have gathered TM100, TM110 & TM120 materials. However, these materials mainly consist of graphics with little explanations and I found it difficult to understand. I also have the SAP TM 9.0 e-book. Should I combine the e-book with those materials for easier understanding? Or is there anything like textbooks for TM100, TM110 or TM120?
    Thank you very much!

    Hello Kate
    Did you pass already your certification?
    Is here someone else who has pass the certification and can give a little bit more information about the content in his exam?
    Is the certification more on LSP or shipper perspective? How long did you prepare for it and what was your training material in this time?
    I heard that most people fail during the certification. Could someone confirm this?
    Thanks in advance for more information!
    Best regards

  • How to Prepare for SAP SD Certification

    Hi All,
    I have applied for SAP SD certification with EhP5 with exam code C_TSCM62_65, I am little nervous regarding preparation.
    Can any one tell me on how to prepare with proper methods to crack SAP SD certification.
    I have 3 years of experience in SAP SD and MM and I have referred  the syllabus from SAP training site.
    Little guidance will help ma a lot.
    Thanks,
    Sokita

    Hi Nouman,
    We are fully aware of this but this does not make it legal, I'm afraid. Using exam patterns and illegal material only undermines the quality of SAP certifications and diminishes the value for people who have honestly prepared for the exams and have fully earned it.
    Additionally, learning exam patterns by heart completely misses the point of becoming certified, because you don't actually gain any new knowledge or go into depth.
    I hope you understand this and I ask you politely to please stop sharing or asking for copyright materials.
    Regards,
    Joey
