  • Certification topics for 1z0-051

    I am preparing for the SQL fundamental exam 1z0-051. I am following the book :"OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) " by Biju Thomas.
    Question: The exam topics in Oracle's certification website do not indicate subtopics. eg. Group functions is a topic listed but are sub-topics such as ROLLUP and CUBE part of the certification?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sir
    i am also preparing for this and want to sit for it at the September end.
    [amazon link|http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Database-Osborne-ORACLE-Press/dp/0071498508/ref=pd_sim_b_3] is this book enough for iz0-051??
    can you refer a sybex book for this,so that can tally the explanations?...............
    For anyone who has SQL experience, or has studied SQL as part of a WDP, or has a general SQL book already then either of the two books (+ their associated practice test in book and on CDROM should be adequate for 1z0-051:I did not get any testkit CDROM forr 007 even.as i am under WDP for 9i.
    * ISBN-13: 978-0071597869: OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press)i found 2008 edition in our local market.so ISBN no. did not match.
    * ISBN-13: 978-0470395127: OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) (Sybex)this book (probably written by Biju Thomas).
    The first is usually cheaper, the second while more expensive also covers 1z0-052. I have seen the first book and it is adequate ; and I know of no reason why the second should not be adequate too. While for the self studying for OCA/OCP 10g/11g candidates i somtimes hint to people they should consider getting both Oracle Press and Sybex books; for this exam i tend to think this is not so necessary for most people.
    wrt the book you referenced:
    * ISBN-13: 978-0071498500: Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)
    This book is designed to cover 11g SQL in general. It is more orientated towards learning and reference. While not tied to an exam it does probably cover most (if not all) topics needed for 1z0-047. Probably most professionals would find it as easy to look up oracle documentation most of the time. I actually have it, mainly because I it was an easy way for me to get a grip on the newer ANSI join forms whcih I am less useful. I cant say its not useful, but certainly some people would find it of limited use and others are quite happy with it.This book still to come in local market(india).
    Thanx.whatever..........but remember this sybex books have very little hands on practice.ie.hardly you will find a query that is left for your practice.All of questions in MCQ basis.

  • Study source for 1Z0-051 exam Oracle11g SQL Fundamentals certification

    Greetings,
    What are some good sources for this exam that are legit. I have the OCA/OCP Oracle Database 11g All-in-One Exam guide, read the whole section regarding SQL and have practiced the test questions until I scored 100% multiple times. Yet (with all humility), I failed the exam. I don't want to cheat and will keep trying until I pass it the right way! I'm going to keep studying the areas I need to really master., but I noticed that the real Exam was nothing like the practice exam. For me, the real exam was a lot trickier and there were a few questions that the book didn't cover. The guy working at the test center recommended testking but upon further research, some sites consider using testking as cheating. I have not purchased any new study guides and would like feedback to some legit study guides. Is the transcender study guide legit and worth it? Please pardon me if this question has been asked a dozen times. I will scour the forums for more info regarding this but also wanted some direct feedback.
    Thank you,
    A mon

    Rene,
    Thanks for the link and the advice. Very helpful! And yes, it got to the point where I knew some of the answers before I finished reading the questions.
    Thanks,
    A monI was going to say possibly the cheapest way is buy the sybex Book : ISBN-13: 9780470395127 which is like the Watson Book ... but it isn't that cheap andalso coves 1z0-052 which you don't need.
    ( Selftest Sofware is reputed to be good, Transcender a little better (they are both Kaplan Brans and overlap common material). Ucertify may be cheapter but quality may be less. And make sure you get the right site and not a phishing link pretending to be them.
    .... wsa it you who i said to try the exam and see where you were really at ? .. if so sorry and better luck next time. Perhaps though it is an opportunity to revise study technique.
    See: http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/question_of_the_day_how_to_pre
    .... Doing your own flash cards and notes can be useful.
    I always regard practice questions as precious and leave it as late as possible in study before doing questions.
    (If you must peek ahead choose a chapter just before half way through the book and do end of chapter questions for that only).
    But I won't even do end of chapter practice questions until I think I know the whole exam topics and have notes on all the material.
    Only when I think I know it all will I do even end of chapter questions.
    And I wont do them if I have read up on the topics during the day. I will wait until the next day.
    And after doing end of chapter results I re-read the chapter and topics and practice. But I wont redo those questions for a few days
    And only when I get good enough practice score from the chapter do I take a full practice test.
    Basic principle is concentrate on learning and use the precious study ids to fill the gaps. It's a little slower getting there that way but these is more chance of a pass.

  • Training for 1z0-051?

    Hello all,
    I have a requirement by my employer to achieve Oracle Certification.  I passed 1z0-052 last week after studying off and on for the last year and a half.  Next up is 1z0-051 or 061.
    Fortunately my employer is funding a training class for this exam.  We have 11g in our environment, so it is the 051/052 track I started on.  I noticed on the 051 exam page that the recommended training is no longer offered.  I'm planning to take the training class linked from the 061 page (Oracle Database 12c: Introduction to SQL Ed 1.1).  Is this adequate/sensible training for the 051 exam?  Or should I scrap 051 in favor of 061?  I see that either will count towards OCA/OCP. 
    I am speaking out of honest ignorance here, but it seems that the material covered for 061 is completely applicable to 051.  Any sage advice for me?  Am I off track in my assessment? 
    Many thanks for any help you can offer.
    -Alan

    The 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-061 exams have about a 95% commonality in topics.  The 'Introduction' section was added to 1Z0-061 and the 'Creating other schema objects' section that was in 1Z0-051 has been removed in 061.  As such, the 061 training should prepare you for the vast majority of the 1Z0-051 exam.
    That said -- there is no reason not to simply take the 1Z0-061 exam if that's what you are taking the training for anyway.  I generally consider picking one over the other to be largely a toss up. Last week someone had the Oracle Press book for 1Z0-051 and was asking about taking 061.  I suggested going with 051 since they had the study materials for it.  In your case, the opposite applies, so I would suggest that the 1Z0-061 exam would probably be the (slightly) better choice.

  • 1Z0-051 exam tips

    Hi everybody
    My name is Jon Toshmatov and I am preparing for 1Z0-051 exam and I would like to ask you a few questions.
    First, a little my background, I work for IBM in mainframe storage team and prior to IBM I have a few years of DBA experience.
    Within 3 months I want to pass the 1Z0-051 exam and next 3 months 1Z0-052 exam and obtain OCA certification within total 6 months. Is this doable?
    I am using this book "OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) " and Oracle manuals from Oracle website. Any other textbooks you would recommend?

    Preparation time depends on the individual and how much time they have. Do not be surprised if your preparation time for 1z0-051is shorter than that for 1z0-052. Also be aware if you want to move to DBA OCP you need mandatory training at some point

    I seem to recall at some point that exam vouchers were not transferable .... this may certainly apply to some voucher types ( I guess particularly WDP ones between individuals). But I dont have a reference URL for where I think I saw this.
    It is just possible that you previously looked at the exam pricee in a low cost country ... and are now viewing it in a high cost country. Or the change may be due to volatile exchange rates.

  • Reference book for Oracle Linux exam 1Z0-402

    Hi gurus!
    Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?
    Thanks
    Mokarem

    Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?By itself, 1Z0-402 does not grant any certification. Presumably you are going for Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate. That certification path also requires passing 1Z0-403. However, you can skip 1Z0-402 if you already have one of several other industry Linux certifications (LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell). My recommendation would be to go for one of these certifications, then skip straight to the 1Z0-403 exam. I suggest that for several reasons:
    1. There is a lot more study resources for exams like CompTIAs Linux+ available.
    2. The other Linux certifications are better known than Oracle's.
    3. Since 1Z0-402 by itself does not grant a certification, going this route gets you two certifications for the price of one.

  • 1Z0-051 exercises for preparing the exam

    Hello, I'm preparing for the 1Z0-051 exam and It could be useful for me some link o similar with exercises about SQL.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    What you are asking for and what the original poster was is 'guided practice'.  The only thing that really fits that description is lab exercises. Generally these are only created as part of a class.  I don't know of anyone that creates labs and puts them online.
    I always encourage candidates to load Oracle XE on their computer and practice with the topics covered on certification exams, If you have any certification book for 1Z0-051, it will have some SQL examples inside it.  They probably won't be labs which tell you exactly what to do in a step-by-step fashion. However, you can execute the same SQL on your machine if you have an Oracle instance.  The Oracle sample schemas are available online.  My study guides have a sample schema that can be downloaded from my website.  I believe the Oracle Press 051 book likewise has a schema (or possibly it uses the sample schemas).  Just typing in the examples straight from the book is a start.  You can then play with those examples -- varying them to see what works and what does not.  For example -- if an example shows a multi-table select the INNER JOIN syntax, take that SQL and modify it to the USING syntax or the NATURAL JOIN syntax.
    The 1Z0-051 exam is all about the capabilities and syntax of SQL... basically what can and cannot be done. Much of this is really memorization of the syntax and certain facts -- like what clauses a subquery can appear in. Executing working SQL and then modifying it to see what works and what does not can help to cement those facts in your memory.

    reply ASAP

    Good morning,
    Here is the information from Oracle on such practices...
    Oracle Certification Program Fraudulent Activity Policy
    Oracle reserves the right to take action against any candidate involved in fraudulent activities, including, but not limited to, fraudulent use of vouchers, promotional codes, reselling exam discounts and vouchers, cheating on an exam, alteration of score reports, alteration of completion certificates, violation of exam retake policies or other activities deemed fraudulent by Oracle.
    If Oracle determines, in its sole discretion, that fraudulent activity has taken place, it reserves the right to take action up to and including, but not limited to, decertification of a candidate's Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Certified Professional and/or OCM credentials, temporary, indefinite or permanent ban of a candidate from Oracle certification programs, notification to a candidate's employer, and notification to law enforcement agencies. Candidates found committing fraudulent activities forfeit all fees previously paid to Oracle, or to Oracle's authorized vendors, and may be required to pay additional fees for services rendered.
    View the Oracle Certification Program Candidate Agreement which requires your agreement before the start of each exam.
    Take note of this. I would not want to put in the effort you are looking to do only to have Oracle decertify me.
    Study, practice, study some more. Then, when you are ready, take the test.
    Good luck,
    Don.

  • Contents of 1z0-051 exam in all-in-one book?

    Hello everyone,
    I am new at this community and I am thinking off doing de OCA exam. For this reason I have recently bought the "oca/ocp oracle database 11g all-in-one exam guide" but I don't know which part refers to de SQL Fundamentals (1z0-051). It is possble to know what chapters refers to each exam 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 ? Maybe it is a foolish question but I have been looking for the answer unsuccessfully for hours.
    Thank you very much in advance,

    It is really important to find the authorative source for the exam topics:
    Goto:
    http://certification.oracle.com
    .... and look up those exams and their associated topics there. Exam topics can sometimes change after books are published, so it is important to double check on Oracle's Website.
    I've not looked at that combined guide myself, but the first part will realate to the SQL topics of 1z0-051. The switch to the database archecture of part 2 should be obvious. The chapters tend to align well with the topics on the exam website.
    Edited by: bigdelboy on 20-Dec-2012 06:42 re: but the first part will realate to the SQL topics of 1z0-051 .... okay I can see from Matthews answer below it doesn't ... well teaches me not to guess!

  • 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:
