Is 'Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (1Z0-007)'  valid after July 31, 2013?

I have written the 'Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (1Z0-007)' two years back and I am planning to write 'Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL(1Z0-144)' next month.
But I came to know that the certification 'Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (1Z0-007)' is going to retires on July 31, 2013.
Could you please tell me whether I can write  'Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL(1Z0-144)' after July 31, 2013 or should I write 'Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I (1Z0-051)' first then 'Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL(1Z0-144)' if I am not write it before July 31, 2013?
Thanks.

The retirement applies to people who have not taken it, not to people that already have.  More details in this article here:

  • Next exam after 'Introduction to Oracle9i SQL (1Z0-007)' ?

    HI,
    I have completed IZ0-007 before 2 years please let me know what is the next exam i can go for.I have 6 years epx in SQL/PL SQL.

    Based on your statement 'I have 6 years epx in SQL/PL SQL.' -- my first inclination would be to suggest 1Z0-144: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL.  It is the standard exam for PL/SQL developers to start with and passing this (in conjunction with your 1Z0-007 score) will earn you the Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate credential. 1Z0-047 is an older version of the PL/SQL exam.  I generally recommend 1Z0-144 over 1Z0-147:
    Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certification: 1Z0-147 or 1Z0-144?
    If you pass 1Z0-144, you might then consider pursuing 1Z0-146: Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL. Passing this exam after earning the OCA will make you an Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional.
    You can find links to study material for both exams at the URLs below:

    The Documentation, searchable, is readily available (e.g. SQL Reference is probably a good read before the exam).

  • Exam 1Z0-007

    I have appeared "Exam 1Z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL" on 2008. After that I was
    unable to appear other exams related to Oracle certification. Now if I appear
    "Oracle Database 10g: Administration I 1Z0-042", then will I be able to get
    Oracle Certified Associate certificate.

    Your 1z0-007 will count as a qualifying exam for SQL ... reference: https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0864_05
    You are strongly advised to consider the implications of the upcoming 10g exam retirements ... https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/1060_01
    If particular if you are intending to submit 10g training towards DBA OCP training that training will only count towards a 10g DBA OCP certification; the 1z0-043 needing to be passed by the march cutoff date in 2015.  If you get 10g DBA OCA and then need to achieve DBA certification via 1z0-34/1z0-067 you will need to satisfy the training requirement for those exams; which may mean you might need to attend additional training.

  • 'Intro. To Oracle9i: SQL' is out of the way, 1 down 3 to go!

    Passed the 'Introduction To Oracle9i: SQL' exam this morning after a rough start last week when I lost my internet connection half-way through the online exam! This morning I barely passed due to my relaxed approach to studying. If anyone is going to take this test make sure your prepared and watch out for the smallest syntax errors in the questions as well! For the next 3 exams I am going to apply myself a LOT more than I did this time and use this forum to ask questions on material that is hard to grasp! The OCP certificate is not going to be easy judging by the content of the following exams...things take a little longer to sink in with me! Nothing worth gaining should be easy anyways!
    Rick.

    Thanks Purvi and Joel! Looking forward to getting this certification...hoping to get an entry level position somewhere soon after! Maybe as a developer...
    Kuljeet the only study material I have is the Sybex books...only a couple of questions on the 1st exam were not covered in the book and the cds that come with them helped alot. Also there is a lot of errata to check for at the Sybex site for each exam book as well. I tried some free exams but it was more of a pain than a benifit because of filling out forms and installing their software just to get a dozen free questions out of the deal. IMO so far the Sybex books look like they will be all that is needed and really good study habits. Good luck!

  • Which book topics to follow for exam 1Z0-007? Sybex or Oracle press?

    Hi, I am studying following both books for exam 1Z0-007 but sybex book by Chip Dawes covers more topics then oracle book. I am wondering if i still need to study those topics in sybex book which are not covered in oracle press book? For example DML Locks have been discussed in detail in sybex book as compare to oracle book and few topics are missing in oracle press and don't know if there will be any question in the exam from those topics?
    1) OCP Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL Exam Guide by Jason Couchman
    2) OCA/OCP: Introduction to Oracle9i SQL Study Guide by Chip Dawes, Biju Thomas
    Can anyone pls advise? Also i like to know if SelfTest software covers same questions which are in sybex and oracke press book? Because SelfTest software has same questions for microsoft exams which are already in the cd of microsoft official press books.
    Thanks

    The proper method is to look at the exam topics on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_007] which is authorative.
    either the Sybex or Oracle Press book is authorative, and sometimes exam changes after these are printed (with revision from 9iR1 to9iR2 for example).
    In general you should probably have enough material in the two books given for this exam. Its probably cheaper to take the exam itself rather than buy additional Selftest questions. Your time may well be better spent practicing the things you have trouble with. Also be aware these books can have errors. And learn whichever is in either book even if it isnt examined. Its good for you!

    0.1) Register with certview.oracle.com ... it helps to know where you are at..
    1) Identify your Prometric Number that you took your prometric exam under.
    2) Identify your Oracle Testing Id. you have under Pearson VUE.
    3) If they are the same all is ok.
    4) If they are different full details of both will need to goto Pearson VUE requesting a merge. (I haven't recently checked the FAQs for updates on this procedure.

    There is no such specific Oracle Documentation given in Oracle, rather you will have to refer a couple of related Oracle Documentations.

  • My connection was lost while taking Intro To Oracle9i: SQL online!

    I can't beleive my luck! I was taking the online exam: Introduction To Oracle9i yesterday (Friday, Feb. 6th 4:30PM EST) when my internet connection was lost! My ISP figured that doing a server upgrade at 4:30PM on a Friday was an ok time! Now I am probably going to get screwed for the $90USD I paid and fail the exam. I was at question# 43 of 57 when this happened. Also I will have to wait 30 days to re-test on top of it since that is the protocol! Anyways so I call Oracle Online Education support and the test I took is not even managed by Oracle...it's a Prometric company...even though Oracle logos were plastered all over the web pages while doing the test? So now they are not even open till Monday and I just know they are going to say "there is nothing we can do" and my ISP is probably going to say the same thing! I am hoping I can be able to re-test without charge even though it is my ISP's fault.

    Well after explaining my situation in full detail to the Oracle Testing Staff in an email I received a cut and paste reply rite off one of the webpages which has nothing to do with what I was explaining in my email. I am really surprised that this is the way the Oracle responds to people whom are learning and promoting their products!
    Dear Rick,
    You need to have certain internet connection requirements in order to take the online test. These are described in http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/index.html?onlinetest.html
    You can take the exam from anywhere with an internet connection with the below requirements. If you do not have access to an internet connection with these requirements, you may take the exam at an Oracle University Training Center or Authorized Prometric Testing Center.
    * Internet Speed 33kps required. Internet Speed 56kps is recommend.
    * Internet Explorer IE 4 for English exam delivery.
    * Internet Explorer IE 5 for Non-English exam delivery.
    * Netscape browser is NOT recommended for any Oracle Internet
    Delivered exam.
    * Internet exam delivery is not possible through browsers specific to
    Internet Service Provider (ISP) . For example, you will be

    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,

    Don't worry. Its valid for ever
