Info on Oracle Cert Expert, Oracle Database11 Release2 SQL Tuning

Searching at http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39&p_org_id=1001
for database admin on Database product I' ve found a dead link for a (in my perspective) NEW (interesting) learning path: Oracle Certified Expert, Oracle Database11g Release2 SQL Tuning.
Is it a web-type mismatch or a REAL new learning path for Oracle?
Thanks
Paolo

As you say, an interesting new certification, but the link is definitely bad. Looks like they have a substitution variable that is undefined in the URL. Brandye or one of the other Oracle emps will need to notify the appropriate people.

How to get Operating System Space Info from Oracle database using SQL

Our oracle databases are installed on Unix operating system. Currently our DBA wrote a view to get space info of table spaces and He is requesting me to add Operating system level(file system) drive space info to the same report.
Can you please let me know the easiest way to get this information to sql table so that it can be used for reporting purposes?

You should be able to create a shell script with the OS commands to generate the information for the mount points that you want to access in Oracle, then read it in as an external table using the preprocessor feature of external tables:

1z0-054: Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Expert

I am planning to give the exam 1z0-054 to get the certification, "Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Expert".
The Certification Path says that, if you are and "OCP DBA 11g" then you can directly take this paper, and there is no Instructor Led Training requirement. Therefore, I decide to prepare for it by my own. Can someone guide me about the study material and dumps?
Regards,
Ahmer Mansoor

Therefore, I decide to prepare for it by my own. Can someone guide me about the study material and dumps?First of all, the word 'dumps' has a specific meaning. It is shorthand for 'brain dumps' which are illegal and can cost you this certification and any others you have taken.
http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0477
Second -- there currently is no study guide or book specific to this certification available at this time. I write study guides and this one is actually next on my list once I complete the current book for *1Z0-117: Oracle Database 11g Release 2: SQL Tuning*. I won't have a guide for 1Z0-054 until some time in May most likely. That said, I have some links to legal study material on the companion website for my guide series relevant to topics for this exam. It also has links to the Oracle documentation that contains information you need. Once I start writing the book for this exam, the links will expand rapidly as I research the topics for it and the documentation links may expand as well.

No Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer OCP in June UK Training Leaflet?

Oracle have out of the kindness of it's heart :x (and desire to avail of bigdelboy's gbp ;\ ) sent bigdelboy an Oracle (UK/Eire) Training Courses June-October 2009.
This training course leaflet also references certifications.
Now interestingly there is no reference to the Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional on this :(
There is mention of the following 4 training courses wrt certs:
Oracle AS 10g : portal - build corporate portals
Oracle AS 10g : portal - build build portlets with PL/SQL
Oracle forms developer 10g: build internal applications
Oracle Reports Developer 10g: build reports
And looking at this bigdelboy also noticed ?:| .....
... to top it all, as of the time of this post the Oracle PL/SQL developer and forms Page currently at:
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155]
seems to be showing incorrect info ...
It shows Advanced Pl/SQL developer OCP being obtainable by:
1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-147+1z0-144 (1z0-144 is not shown explicitly but the link points to it).
rather than what bigdelboy suspects is correct.
1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-144(or 1z0-147)+1z0-146
Anyway bigdelboy wonders if mediaguy has been a little slow on the announcements or has bigdelboy totally misunderstood :D

Hello, core Tech Delivery Manager for UK here - Claire
Noticed your comments re new printed schedule - just to say Dates here correct at going to print, but things change as we go.
For exmaple - We also have a new partner in Ireland who's training dates can be found on IE education website on http://education.oracle.com, not on printed schedule.
New dates and courses come out all year (new Oracle 11g Weblogic middle tier courses will be next to hit the shelves, followed by 11gR2 New Features for Administrators etc)...so it is always best to use Printed schedule as a guide only, and it should entice you to our UK website for OU, to check latest dates, locations and prices, most of which should match ok...but there will be a lot more on website. You can also call +0845 777 7711.
You are right the PLSQL OCP is not on the printed schedule - I am glad they have added this though - the exam is currently in Beta from what I understand, but regardless I took the decision given the limited amount of space and huge variety of middleware offerings, to include more learning paths such as Java Developer, Web Admin and App Developer (you will see APLS listed as a course there, and I ensured it was one of the main listed unfer the DB&Lang section.)
We now teach 11g version of Advanced PLSQL.
Forms , Reports and Portal still have Customer Demand in UK and IE hence their inclusion too - not all companies have upgraded to latest Oracle technology yet, which is why we still run a lot of 10g based DB courses in parallel to 11g - most customers plan to upgrade from 9i/10g straight to 11gR2.
Hence, it is wise to include courses that will sell, not just the latest courses ..which could alienate potential customers of OU !
You are totally right about the exams though - I notice it should be 1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-144(or 1z0-147)+1z0-146 as you say below, so I have emailed marketing et al to see if Global will change the website (which is centrally controlled from US).
Do let us know anything else you can report, Id be happy to help if I can...though I wont leave my phone number on here if that's ok!

Dates for "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" exam

Hi!
Today Oracle posted info about the new Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning exam needed for the new expert certification:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_054#2
It says that pre-registration for the beta exam starts today, however, it does not say when the beta phase starts and ends. Does anyone know?
Thanks,

Hello Hussein
Yes true, I remember it for the OCE and Linux exams they rescheduled the end date several times. As far as I know it is related to the number of participants and the given feedback.
I've also participated to several other exams, and I must admit that it is a long and hard process to get through. When I got the feedback 10 weeks after the beta period closure, I had to review nearly all the topics to get the exams passed the second time. But this it is a cheap and good exam preparation.
What about you Hussein? Do you think that's trivial?

Why I've choosed Oracle Certifications over SQL Server's : Highly Specified

Since doing my Internship on SQL Analysis/Optimization on both Oracle and SQL Server as we support both for our Products, I wanted to target a relevant certification to enforce my experience and as a consequence my CV.
I was in hesitation on choosing between an SQL Server certification or an Oracle Database Certification.
Instinctly I would have gone for SQL server for the following reasons
1. As I'm new and totally unexperienced it feels much easier and appealling to me
2. It is more simple and thus easier than Oracle
3. I've Experienced it more - since the first weeks as introductive, while Oracle was and is a more misty field
But the basic reason I decided to head towards Oracle was Simple : Highly Specified Certification.
In my placemnt, I primarly analyse and optimize preset API SQL Statements. So what I learn and do, is SQL and SQL optimization techniques.
And on Oracle I can be provided certifications specifically for this. SQL Expert, PL/SQL, SQL Tuning.
On the other side, Microsoft hasn't such a thing at all, with the only Certification available being MCSA.
To get the MCSA certification I need 3 different Exams 1 Querying 2 Administering 3 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Sector on which I dont have a clue. So a logic +"Either Everything or Nothing"+ No thank you sir I wont take.
At the best I can take just the 1.Querying BUT
1. It combines SQL, T-SQL, Optimization in one Exam. But I dont work much with T-SQL, I would prefer an exam just on SQL or Optimization. AND
2. Its not even considered a full Certification
While in Oracle I can (if I'll make it and find time for their bigger extend) take a Certification on SQL, and a Certification on Tunning which are the exact fields of my Placement.
And if i suceed I can extend to PL/SQL, but until then I dont have to bother for PL/SQL which I dont use much.
I dont care if I need separate payments and procedures, since I can organise Studies & Exercise one field at a time, than having to care for both PLUS a field I dont actually use much.
And then there is also the positive that you will gain certification for the Top and mos advanced DBMS. And that its not only about that Oracle Devs are less and thus maybe more easy to get hired but also that "if you learn the Difficult(Oracle), then if you have to learn the Easy (SQL Server) it would be easier possible, than the opposite"
So Oracle Certs have in my case that positive Frame
1. Specified Certifications Mirroring Exactly your Sectors
2. Helps self-organisation your Study-Learning Distincting each sector
3. No1 DBMS, more promitment,
4. As more difficult, it will be surely easier to transfer to SQL Server if there will be need afterwards , than the opposite
While SQL Server Certifications on the opposite have a negative Frame
1. Only Full Certification is MCSA for the Entire SQL Serve Set, things I dont know
2. Only an Exam 1.Querying is possible, which is Not A full Certification
3. Mischiefs 3 fields to 1 SQL, Optimizing, T-SQL in one for which I dont operate all on the same level and will fragment the study organisation (no educative logic at all)
4. SQL Server is Easier than Oracle. Being 22 yet, if need comes up it will be harder to transfer to Oracle. The opposite will be easier i think.
Well under these circumstances for my situation, to set on Oracle Path I think it was more than clearly better.
It outpasses even the needing of X4 funds for the same knowledge (SQL+Tuning+PL/SQL)

It might seem easier on the surface, a point and click interface might be easier acessible for some, but both are complex product suits and neither database engine/platform has a small or "easy" feature set.
My view is sort of the opposite of yours (of course, it might be a natural view from a long experience with databases and data systems); Oracle DBAs have to be good at what they do, when on the other hand almost anyone can fool themselves thinking they are MSSS DBAs (clicking around in a "explorer" like interface, how hard can it be?). But in reality, it will takes ten's of years of learning and doing on each platform and their applications to be really great at it.
3. I've Experienced it more - since the first weeks as introductive, while Oracle was and is a more misty fieldSeems like this is the key - you'll only really learn when you dive in and try, fail and try again... (different thresholds on learning curve/steps may vary).
On the other side, Microsoft hasn't such a thing at all, with the only Certification available being MCSA.You seem to have completely missed the Pro, Master and even Architect levels. Also, for the more "specified", there's implementor, db developer, BI developer tracks with TS and ITP exams/certifications.
For your case you may want to compare with MCITP Developer track, which has a certificate after each exam (TS, then ITP).
Remember that MS has a different certification layout. There may be 3 or even 5 steps (exams) before you'll get certified on some level, where as you might need 1 or 2 exams completed to get a Oracle Database cert.
To get the MCSA certification I need 3 different Exams 1 Querying 2 Administering 3 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012See previous points :)
At the best I can take just the 1.Querying BUT
1. It combines SQL, T-SQL, Optimization in one Exam. But I dont work much with T-SQL, I would prefer an exam just on SQL or Optimization. AND
2. Its not even considered a full Certification Again, look at and compare with Querying/Development and Designing Database Solutions.
Depending on your outset and "point of view" on things, on the road ahead you could choose to not be blind to "the other side" (whichever one) but learn to discern and apply, reinforcing knowledge from whatever aspect you'll learn and see and know. Be open and open to re-learning stuff. If you don't take things too literally, sql and performance and scalability matters exists on both platforms. You might be able to learn e.g troubleshooting and optimization, not O* troubleshooting and optimization. Also this is a wast area, about performance, becuase you'll need to know systems, how systems fit toghether and maybe more importantly how the users use the system, how they think they use the system, getting to know them and how to hear and control their expectations (yes, you'll be amazed in ten or twenty yers from now how much "psychology" this really is about).
The (hopefully long) road towards/before exams and certification is what you should put your mind and effort to. As with most other aspects of life; there are no quick fixes - that is just how we "ignore" things we not really want to invest in.
>
While in Oracle I can (if I'll make it and find time for their bigger extend) take a Certification on SQL, and a Certification on Tunning which are the exact fields of my Placement.Yes, and for you and your outset that might be a good place to start. But consider actually learning SQL and learning tuning (which will take years) not just "take a certification".
And if i suceed I can extend to PL/SQL, but until then I dont have to bother for PL/SQL which I dont use much.This might be a sign of "narrow tracking" too early. Learning a little PL/SQL or whatever skills will help in ways you do not yet know. Read what EdStevens has written on the forums on the topic of studying (learning systems from having a major within music).
It outpasses even the needing of X4 funds for the same knowledge (SQL+Tuning+PL/SQL)Knowledge does not come from taking exams (if you don't mean the "I know how to do multiple choice tests"-kind of knowledge).
Perhaps it is better in the long run if you study and experience and do the things you like to do, and let the certificates come later on when the time is right.

Create and insert into table from Oracle to MS SQL server.

Hello,
Oracle Database 11g and Red hat 5
I have a very different kind of issue. I am handling the ORACLE db(remote db with all the important data). On the other side their is a MS SQL server db(local db with some testing data in it). All the users will access the ORACLE db for the actual processing but for sometime they need to apply some of their own concepts. So they will transfer the data from ORACLE to MS sql server.
I want to create a code in ORACLE db like a procedure , which will create a table in MS sql server , insert data into it,Also create some metadata table to keep some of my table's info on MS SQL serve db,If the table is present it should append the data, .... like many things ...
Overall my question is , how can i write a code to make these operation on a remote db, that to these operations are DDL and on MS SQL Server(Non-Oracle) ???
Please guide me with some ideas or solutions ...
Also provide if you have some good links to study ...
thanks in advance.

I'm not sure why you never visit http://tahiti.oracle.com prior to asking any question. Is it forbidden in your locale? Are you afraid of it? Will your salary be decreased when you visit the documentation?
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/search?word=sql+server&partno=
should provide sufficient information.
Your doc question must be considered a violation of Forum Etiquette and an abuse of this forum.

Oracle 8i vs SQL Server 7 or 2000

Can anybody provide a link or information about what is the best choice to choosing Oracle 8i or SQL Server? I want a technical answer not based on market share or bias.
I have been an oracle DBA and developer for 5 years. Reading up on SQL Server,it seems very powerful as well as Very cost effective compared to Oracle 70% cheaper in some cases.
I am currently researching the back end and front end tools needed for a internal Application system:
20Gig Minimum sized database
80-100 Simultaneous Users
Database server on NT4.0/2000
Any information would be very helpful
Please email to [email protected]
and/or post info.
Thanks

To balance the equation a little bit:
well, here goes the technical difference between sql svr and oracle8i db server:
1. SQL Server has much more rich, intuitive development tools. I find the Oracle tools a bit antiquated and clunky.
2. "control file management is there in oracle. >> BUT NOT IN SQLSVR." Never had the need to "manage files" from the DB, so I'm not sure of the point here.
3. You can manage partitions in SQL Server.
4. Oracle is tied to Java whereas SQL Server is more VB friendly and has JScript support.
5. SQL Server built extensions to TSQL (like PL/SQL) to support direct return of XML in a very simple manner. I'm still swinning through
6. "Operating System authentication is there in oracle. BUT NOT IN SQLSVR." This is just plain wrong. You can authenticate at the OS or DB level in SQLServer.
7. SQL Server does replication including merge replication.
8. Building data warehouses, mining, datamart, MTS, DSS, OLTP is heavily supported in SQL Server.
9. SQL Server introduced the self-tuning database making the administration very simple.
10. SQL Server supports clustering, warmbackups, etc.
11. I can show you several ways to backup/restore and all are very fast.
12. SQLServer2000 has all of the development features of Oracle (and then some) for a fraction of the cost.
13. Oracle's high-end features are better and more complete, and it works on more platforms.
My choice as a developer in a Win2000/NT type environment is SQL Server hands down. Big companies with lots of data have a tougher choice. I think Oracle is more "big iron" and high-end admin friendly, and SQL Server is more developer, self-maintaining, and pocketbook friendly. I depends upon what's important to you.
ALL ABOVE INFORMATION IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH SQL SERVER FROM 1996 TO PRESENT.

Oracle Vs Ms Sql Server to handle around 6-7 Terabytes of data

I am considering Oracle 11G to handle around 6-7 Terabytes of data. This data will get accumulated over a period of 8 Months. Any data older then 8 months is purged out of the database.
Some of my MS SQL DBAs are saying SQL server offers similar performance at a very low cost. Is this really true? On What basis or parameters I can compare Oracle with MS SQL Server to nullify the price advantage?
I am not looking for ease of development, I am purely looking in terms of handling the huge data and still be able to provide good performance. Apart from performance if there is any parameter which makes any difference then please highlight.

As with any database requirements tend to drive the best technology to utilize.
I have run Oracle and MS SQL Server as well as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
If you are looking to support a fairly large user based on a database that is 6-7 TB is size where a good portiion of the data is subject to access then there is really is no comparison. Oracle does a much better job of handling large user bases with large data sets then MS SQL Server or MySQL at least based on my experience with them.
MySQL works very well for average user bases and smaller databases where the amount of data accessed is small. In other words you can have 6 TB of data and if you only frequently access 5GB of it then MySQL will work pretty well. If a large portion of the data is accessed all the time by many users you will struggle with MySQL. Most databases in MySQL I ran had issues at user bases of a few hundred with a database size of around 100G-200G, now my main expertise is in Oracle so there may be ways in MySQL to address this, but not easily as normal research and experiment channels did not yeild good results for me.
I have had a MS SQL Server databases with thousands of users fall on it face with a database only 20GB in size, its was completely CPU bound with 8 CPUs, then moved the database to Oracle with minor code changes to accommidate the differences between Oracle and SQL server using the same hardware specs and CPU was a steady 50% for the same work load and basically the same application.
I have found the capabilities of Oracle for large data sets and large users provide advantages that the other databases just did not offer or did not do well enough to overcome. Does not mean that Oracle is perfect, or the other databases are bad, but there are a lot of options and capabilities in oracle the I can take advantage of not to mention if I need to I can run on high end Unix hardware and goto 64CPU dozens of I/O channels, etc. I can not do that with MS SQL Server as Windows is my only option and the intel platform just does not hit the capabilties of higher end Unix Hardware.
When deciding the database to use cost should be the last factor used. If the database will not do what you need it to do then low cost does not help you. Deteremine the needs and requirements and then examine the database features and capabilities to determine what might work best for your situation. If it is a critical business function and you need the caddie then your business will pay for the caddie, it if needs a malibu then pay for the malibu or if it needs the yugo then pay for the yugo. Implement the right technologies where you need them. However there is something of an advantage to limit the number of technologies you will need to support as a jack of all trades never becomes an expert and that in of itself can be costly when trying to overcome issues developed by limitations of a database technology.

Beta Testing Continues for "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" Exam

I want to take the certification Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning exam 1Z0-054 and want to write the exam.
To earn the OCE credentials, I know that we need to take training from Oracle University. I am not an OCP currently.
Can I write the exam now and later take the course to meet the certification requirements? I know it is not the right way, but I can not pay $3000 for the course as of now. I can write the exam through self study. I want to check if I can take the exam now and later take the course.
Is it mandatory to take the course before taking the exam?
Thanks,
naveen.Indeed you can take the exam now, and subsequently earn the 11g PERFTUNE OCE credential when you either:
1) complete, submit and get verified the OU authorised 11g perftune course (possible but seems a little cart before horse).
or
2) Become 11g DBA OCP.
