Is a Oracle SQL Expert a certification?

I was looking at the Oracle Certified Associate on 11g. Within that there are lots of tests. Some of those are SQL Fundmentals 1Z0-051. Another one is 047 SQL Expert.
Are these individual classes, within the OCA, certifications as well? Or, are they only classes to get to the OCA? Thanks.

It's a little difficult to follow the thread of your questions.
Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate is the 11G DBA OCA certification.
This certification requires that you pass a SQL exam.
Either of the exams 1Z0-051 (SQL Fundamentals) or 1Z0-047 (SQL Expert) will meet the SQL requirement for the certification.
Oracle University has classes that can help prepare you for either of the exams, but taking a class is not required to earn the OCA certification.

What is the validity of Oracle SQL 1ZO-007 certification?

Hi,
I have done Oracle SQL 1ZO-007 certification in May 2006. However, I could not write the next level, PL/SQL 1ZO-047. Now I am planning to write it.
My doubt is whether my SQL certification is till valid so that upon clearing 1ZO-047 I can get OCA.
Also, is there an alternate way of getting developer's path OCA.
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Natraj

Don't worry. Its valid for ever
And please post your Certification related questions in Certification topic. May be there you can find more information

The Case for an Updated SQL Expert Exam

There have been a couple of discussions in this space about the shortcomings of the current SQL Expert exam. I decided to write something of an open letter to OU about the concept of creating an updated version for the 12c release of Oracle:
The Case for an Updated Oracle SQL Expert Exam - Certification Magazine
So what do you think -- what advanced SQL topics did I miss that would make a good topic for an improved version of the exam?

That does touch on a fundamental issue of certification: Does it realistically reflect work capability? Many people over the years have just stated a categorical "no." I wouldn't go that far, but I would say that for any particular job, it takes weeks or months to really evaluate them. Some people when saying how they interview candidates state they would reject anyone who would just go google something new (I think that is a silly way to judge and am glad to see you google too IRL). I know with analytics, I use them so rarely I have to basically re-learn them each time. But there's nothing wrong with that, and subsequent "re-learns" are more rapid, and asktom (among others) is invaluable. I would do the same thing for an exam - learn them long enough to pass the exam. There's just too large of a knowledge space to make details of sql syntax a deal-breaker. If you are using something every day, you remember the details. The logical problem is assuming because someone is not using it every day now they haven't in the past or won't in the future.
In the past I've mentioned I think the value of certification for me lies in exposure to things I don't use. A problem that goes along with that is if you don't use it soon after learning it, you might well have not learned it. There are some courses I've taken that could be described as drinking the kool-aid - features that Oracle pushes that don't apply as generally as marketing or the developers of seed databases would like us to believe. You never know what new features will be used and how and when. Oracle doesn't always know, for that matter.

Regarding SQL Expert certification (1ZO - 047) 12c validated

Hi ,
I am planning to take up 1ZO - 047(Oracle Database SQL Expert) certification in this month . Need some suggestions from people (Preferably who have taken up this exam after September 15th 2014) for clearing the exam and also some references like good books and sites that can help me achieve the same.

I can do little better than to refer you to Matthew's resources here:
Oracle Certification Prep: Exam details and preparation resources for 1Z0-047
and update here:
http://certmag.com/oracles-sql-expert-exam-slated-facelift-sept-15/
You are already aware of the updated topics post September 2014. You should newly introduced topics ( and there is really only a handful ) will not be in e.g. O'Hearn's book and you ill need to study these and practice from oracle documention; Quality oracle blogs; Oracle Learning Library etc.
he additional topics probably come in two categories: features present in 11g but not previously present on the exam. And features introduced with 12c.
While the exam description reads: This exam has been validated against Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Database 11g Release 2, and Oracle Database 12c Release 1 given 12c features are tested this should now rad This exam has been validated against Oracle Database 12c Release 1. ( Not 10g / 11g ).

How to practise on the examples used in SQL Expert book

I need to study for the oracle sql expert exam and I am using the book SQL Expert exam guide by Steve O' Hearn.
Can someone please suggest how to practise on the examples of this book ?

Good morning,
IMHO, I would have suggested that one build the schemas and tables they need from scratch. If one is to be an Oracle Certified Expert in SQL, one should be able to do perform those tasks quickly and accurately. I realize that in larger shops, those tasks might be/are deligated to the DBA team, but having worked in both small and large shops, I believe that being an "expert" should include more than the ability to copy source code and run somoene else's sql scripts.
Thanks,
Don.
Edited by: dfcii on Jan 9, 2012 6:57 AMI think both viewpoints are valid.
- In some ways one does not want to spend time dealing with books misprints and typos when really to be able to do the SQL expert exam one should be on top of anyway.
- In other sense getting ones one test data togther is useful.
..... I possibly remember badly .... but i seem to miss where the scripts mysef (at least initially) and spent some wasted time pumping in a fair bit of data for the earlier examples.

Is it possible to get ....OCA and Oracle certified SQL expert ...together ?

Hie there everyone ...
i have a little question puzzling me ...
just today i passed my , Oracle DataBase 10g Administration I --- ( 1Z0-042 ) ... on my way for OCA certification.
But now , as it required another exam to get certificate and this is my question ...
Which Exam is more preferred for this ?? ... at present oracle is offering 4 exams ...
1. 1z0-001 ... introduction to oracle: Sql and Pl/Sql
2. 1z0-007 ... Introduction to oracle 9i ( i like 10g more so , i prefer to not to go backwards )
3. 1z0-047 ... Oracle DB SQL expert ( my choice )
4. 1z0-051 ... Oracle DB 11g : SQL fundamentals
now when i was looking at these options , i come to know that , if i give exam 1Z0-047 ... i can get individual certificate as ORACLE DB Certified SQL EXPERT ...
SO , my question is ... if i go for 1Z0-047 , will i get 2 certificates ?? i means , as i have already cleared 2 exams for OCA_ ... and another for passing this 1Z0-047 as a ORACLE DB CERTIFIED SQL EXPERT ??_
can i hit two birds with one stone ??
please if someone can answer/confirm it asap ... so i can give that exam in next weekend ( i've already prepared for it ) ...
thanks in advance for any help ...

oh my god. this whole thing is making me confused too!
if i go for this 047 exam then will i be an OCE or OCA??
if PASS(1z0-047) then Awarded SQL Certified Expert OCE;
But DIFFICULTY(1z0-047) > MAX(DIFFICULTY(1z0-051,1z0-007)) !
But Cost(1z0-047) > Cost(1z0-051,1z0-007) -- But not by much
and pls tell me what is the basic difference between all the exam options we have to become an OCA, particularly between exams 051 and 047 ?
since i am working in forms 6i , reports and pl/sql which exam would be better for me? and ya i am already working as a developer so have practical knowledge in sql so preapring for the courses would'nt be much a difficulty for me.
so pls suggest me which exam would suit me the best. thanksI your other post as well and nearly was to make this suggestion to you the you look at PL/SQL Developer Certifications. Because they match your current experience they will always help you in moving jobs.
You can also find studying for them will help your current work.
I would suggest 1z0-051 first. It ensures your up to some 11g features and will but you can learn new things on the way. It also gets you used to taking a prometric exam. It can be done online, you if you search other posts I give some reasons why I think this is not so good for most people. Others might argue 1z0-007 is an easier exam to take as you may be familiar with all constructs.
Some people plump straight for 1z0-047. You have to know a fair bit about analytic functions for this so its not trivial. But you do get a certificate for passing the exam, and as Jack shows it can be done. But its a harder exam.
PL/SQL OCA ought to be well within your grasp too. You have the choice of 1z0-147 or 1z0-144 (current in beta as 1z0-144, a long exam, but currently very cheap). From other posts you will see I dont think highly of 1z0-147, and quite frankly you wont learn a lt studying for it. 1z0-144 is the more recent exam and has more interesting topics and I think I'd advise who to aim for that (and if you take the beta exam you get some respect for me from trying it!). But certainly take one other exam at a prometric center before taking a beta!

ThanksIn terms of certification pre-reqs for DBA and PL/SQL OCA's you have an 1z0-147 which is one of the certification exams that satisfy that requirement.
Afer passing 1z0-047 you need to consider whether you should take a developer track or DBA track
From your posts you seem to consider 10g DBA OCA .... 11g DBA OCA would be better but if going down the DBA route your eventual goal should be DBA OCP ..... and that requires mandatory training and your may need to factor that in ... sometimes people may find workforce 10g DBA training is the more accessable to themselves.
As for the books, both the Sybex and Oracle Press exam focused books have their advantages and disadvantages and faults. Oracle Documentation remains the authorative source.

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?

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.

I'm not sure what you mean by the URL to the documentation. Oracle doesn't have documentation that's specifically about the test, but they do have a few SQL books/documentation here:

More Oracle Database SQL Expert [1Z0-047] study guides in pipeline?

Hi
Are there more study resources (other than official Oracle book and Oracle Certification Prep summary) in pipeline or on market?

Are there more study resources (other than official Oracle book and Oracle Certification Prep summary) in pipeline or on market?The Oracle Press series isn't really 'from' Oracle, but rather is from McGraw Hill, so 'official' is a strong word to use. I know that Oracle provides some materials to the authors, but not the extent or type. There are very few authors/publishers that compete with Oracle Press in writing Oracle certification books. The three tests required for the DBA OCP (SQL, DBA1, DBA2) will normally generate competing books from Sybex and sometimes Packt. Beyond those tests, however, unless Oracle Press writes a certification guide, normally no one else does (and if Oracle Press writes a guide, then especially no one else does). This lack of certification materials for Oracle tests is a large portion of the reason I started writing my guides. Even then, one of the primary reasons why I designed them as a series of study guides rather than full-blown soup-to-nuts manuals is to avoid 'competing' with Oracle Press. I'd lose that fight, so I avoid it.
What I'm getting at (in a very roundabout way), is that I consider it very unlikely that another publisher will come out with a manual for 1Z0-047. The exam has been in production since early 2008 and the Oracle Press book has been out since late 2009. I don't think anyone is writing another one.
