Interview HOT TOPICS( SQL, WS1(oca), WS2(ocp) and RAC)

hii there,
Myself a
OCP + Pursuing RAC certification ( Training Over )
I am at the very important phase of my life . I will be having Interview on Oracle DBA ( as a consultant ) , They demand me knowledge of SQL , WS1 admin(OCA), WS2 admin(OCP) and ALSO RAC.
Now please can u guys suggest me what are the really HOT topics ?
They said Interview will be full Technical and they want a some one to handle their consultancy of their clients.
Thanks in Advance

Your handle is newbieDBA whereas you claimed to be OCP and on the track of RAC certification.
Where's the truth ? To my point of view, you cannot be a newbie and OCP. There's a paradox. At the least.
If you are really what you said you are, then you know the hot topics. If you don't, better to skip the interview.
Good luck,
Nicolas.

Query Regarding the Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA

Hi All
I am planning to go for the certification "Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA "
But I am not sure what is value of this certification in market.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
Amit

My view is this: The more you can put on your resume, usually the better. By itself, its not worth anything. Combined with several years of experience, it could make a difference. If you go for a job and have 5 years of experience and a certification, and the other candidate just has 5 years, as long as you both interview well, I'd say you have a slightly better shot because you have that extra thing on your resume.
You need to look at it in that respect - but its not a magic key to get you any job. Of course different countries may be different in how they view certiciations.

Your statements may be ambiguous, I cannot be sure what you mean by 'fundamentals exams'.
There is a developer track for those interested in PL/SQL developer, is that what you are looking for?

I've now read on your subject what you meant by fundamentals +(if all else fails read the original posters question)+.. ie 9i DBA OCA and 9i DBA OCP .... no for you forget those and and follow the link to the Pl/SQL developer track ....
Edited by: bigdelboy on 09-Aug-2009 16:28
Exam order is not important, but you dont get certificates unless pre-requisites all met. The is an interesting cheap beta exam arround at present if you are up for it ... 1z0-144

Developer OCA-to-OCP timing

Good day,
I received my OCA several years ago (in 2004) and just now finally have the motivation to continue on towards OCP. I'm a developer and I would be pursuing PL/SQL Developer certification. I'm wondering if there is a timline in which my OCA is "too old" and I would need to re-test? or am I good to continue and prepare for the 1Z0-146 exam?
I'm taking the new <u>Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL</u> to refresh my knowledge of some of the features of PL/SQL that I haven't had the opportunity to use; and then intend to take the Advanced PL/SQL class as part of my preparation.
I just don't want to have to start over with the tests. I'm not a big fan of CBT's so if I can avoid a re-take, I'd like that.
Thanks,
Don.

Don.In Oracle exams/certifications once gained remain forever. So your certification wont be 'too old'.
However you must ensure it is a PL/SQL developer OCA (gained via 1z0-147 + an SQL exam) or it may not be a valid pre-requisite for the PL/SQL OCP. (Viz a DBA OCA would not satisfy, nor would a 1z0-101 as far as i am aware).
In general http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155 is authorative.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 09-Jun-2010 13:03 DanT below on a later has pointed out an authoraive reference that corects my awareness wrt 1z0-101 ..... http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2008/07/developer_track_revealed_alter.html . thanks Dan T for information.

How to get Oracle 11g OCA, OCM, OCP certification?

Hi,
This is my first post! Please pardon my ignorance. I want to get Oracle 11g OCA, OCM, OCP certifications done. How do I go about it? How much does it cost to get these certifications? Could you please suggest a website/url where I can get more information about it.
Thank you,
Tracy

The Oracle Certification Program site should answer your questions.
Assuming you are trying to get certified on the DBA track (there are many different certification tracks, I'm assuming when you say 11g that you mean to indicate that you're interested in the DBA track), you can see the progression of the exams and the options you have on this page.

OCA: Which exam first - SQL or OCA

Hello
I want to get certified on Oracle 10G OCA. Will I be allowed to take the OCA exam first and then the SQL exam?
TK

Hi TK,
Yes you can take them in any order. Administration followed by SQL is perfectly fine. I suppose people just suggest the other way around as it gives you more time to decide between 10g and 11g but if you've decided then go for it.

Retirement of 9i DBA OCA and OCP and associated exams and also 1z0-147

This question hasnt been asked for a while, which I suppose means the numbers doing the followig exams must be diminishing:
1z0-007, 1z0-031, 1z0-032, 1z0-033, 1z0-147
I think there is now a fairly good case for these to be retired, assume that WDP courses for them have ceased; though vouchers may still be in existance.
I particularly wold like to see 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 retired as the far better and more modern equivalent exam 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 exist. IMHO These could probably be done on the normal 3 months noice.
While I think 1z0-031 could be ceasd at relatively short notice, the case for 1z0-032 having a longer period would be more useful, as people could be part way into a 9i DBA OCP and unable to complete in the 3 months.
IMHO it would be best to withdraw 1z0-031 first, or to give an extended retirement date for 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 of at least 6 months.
I guess of all these I would like 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 to be retired. IMHO They should have been put to grass long ago.

Thanks for your comments on these exams. We are actually currently in the middle of a project to evaluate a number of exams to see which ones need to be identified for upcoming retirement. I will pass your comments along to the team conducting this review.
Thanks,

Can I do OCA in DBA and Developer Track?

I have cleared 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-031 recently and that earns me a OCA in DBA Track. Now, I would like to do another OCA in Developer Track. So, will just 1Z0-147 be sufficient as I have already cleared 1Z0-007?
Also, is there any Hands-On requirement for Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Certified Professional?
Thanks and Regards,
Kaushik

OCA 10g certification and prometric

I did my 1Z0-007 (SQL exam) last year at Prometric.
I know want to do my 1Z0-042 exam at the new test centre.
I have a couple of questions, once I pass my exam, will Oracle know that I also passed my 1Z0-007, and hence I will get my OCA certificate? Or do I have to do something extra?
And how long does it take to get the OCA certificate? And am I right in assuming that you do not need to attend training for OCA?
Thank you.

Or do I have to do something extra?When you register with Pearson Vue you must give you Prometric Id. as the Oracle Testing Id. This is the key to them linking. If you exams are taking under different Oracle Testing Id's it is as though 2 different persons have taken the exams ... and certification will not be forthcoming. Your Old Prometric Id. is your Oracle Testing Id.
visit [http://www.oracle.com/education/certfication] support - FAqs for more and up to date info.
It also should be useful if you get registered on Certview to see how things are going [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/11/0080a.html]. Things take a 3 weeks to get to certview.
And how long does it take to get the OCA certificate? About 4-6 weeks.
And am I right in assuming that you do not need to attend training for OCA?Yes, There is no mandatory pre-requisite training to get a 10g DBA OCA certification

Posting topic to more than one thread and in different categories...

Is there anything in the TOU we can "refer" to when users post the same topic in more than one thread and to add to that, more then one category? Case in point: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8806009#8806009 (This is just one example)
Limnos had a valid point. If we had a section in the TOU we could copy/paste from, I think it would help if we could refer to authority, ie., TOU.
Thanks!

I wouldn't get into too much of a flury about that with end users. Notify as needed and let the moderators decide if it needs to be deleted. A good rule of thumb is you want the discussions to have:
Everyone should feel comfortable reading Submissions and participating in discussions.
That's from Terms of Use.
And then there is:
You agree to not interfere with or disrupt the Site.
I'm seeing that logically one can conclude directing users not to crosspost may be considering interference with the site. I may suggest someone post in another forum if a solution is not transparent in the forum they are using, but that's as far as I'm comfortable bending the rules.
I'm trying hard to keep my thumbs away from the keyboard when I see duplicate posts.

SQL Server Express 2008 R2 and Windows 8.1 (Standard)

I recently re-engineered the backend of a legacy Access 2003 application because we knew that going forward we were going to loose the replication capability in Access. This is a small, departmental app, so the new SQL Server Express 2008 R2 backend is
hosted on a robust Windows 7 system. I tested the implementation with both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients running the updated Access 2003 frontend and everything worked great.
We are now in the midst of a company-wide upgrade to Windows 8.1 and I'm having issues. The legacy frontend works fine with Access 2013 (full version) when run locally on the Win7 machine, but I can't get any of the new Win 8.1 clients to connect to the
SQL database using the Access 2013 Runtime module. I CAN create ODBC connections to SQL Server from the clients and they test successfully, so I think I have a valid SQL connection to the Win 7 box.
To recap: old clients were WinXP Pro with Office 2003 Pro, new clients are Win 8.1 (non-Pro) with Access 2013 Runtime module.
Any ideas?

Hi ,
Glad to hear that you have found the solution. Thank you for coming back and let us know the result:)
