  • 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.

  • 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.

    Certainly you can.  It's available from Amazon:

    As to how helpful it is -- I cannot review my own book.  It is impossible to be objective. Whether you purchase it or not, I do recommend using the links to freely available study materials available at the companion website for that exam:

  • Forums and Books for 1Z0-051 Certification Test

    I am starting to read my Certification book from Oracle Press on test 051, SQL.
    What other forums or websites will I find helpful for this effort? I mean both Oracle approved and non-official Oracle forums. I am interested also in non-offical forums so people can say uncensored or candid things about the test or the products.
    A good answer would be a list of the forums here on the Oracle website that will help as well as some websites or forums not on this website that are good for test 051 and the material I need to know.
    I also want to know what certification books or manuals cover this material or test? Are there some other popular certification books for test 1Z0-051? Which Oracle manuals cover this material? Again a good answer would be a list of books and a list of manuals.
    I read somewhere that the online Oracle Library now costs to access. Is this true? I am on a strict budget.
    I read something about Oracle products on this website but as you might expect they only list Oracle products or approved products.

    The main problem one has in doing certification training is avoiding unauthorized learning material (A lot of web searching will lead to braindumps which are bad).
    Obviously the SQL forum will help.

    Find the SQL reference under http://docs.oracle.com
    I read somewhere that the online Oracle Library now costs to access. Is this true? I am on a strict budget.
    If you are talking about http://docs.oracle.com this is free
    I read something about Oracle products on this website but as you might expect they only list Oracle products or approved products.Proably what you need to be looking for is getting Oracle XE downloaded to your local machine, possibly in a virutal machine, virtualbox, vmware server. You will need specific linux versions, xp pro or vista business.
    Visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html .. oracle XE is currently there as a top download.

  • Studying for 1Z0-051, months_between issue

    Hi guys I'm working through SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide and exercise 4-3 runs this query:
    SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID, LAST_NAME, HIRE_DATE
    FROM EMPLOYEES
    WHERE MONTHS_BETWEEN('01-JAN-2000',HIRE_DATE)>100;
    Looking at my sample HR schema the earliest hire_date is 2001 so the results come back with nothing. However if I change the date to '01-JAN-1960' I still get nothing, is there a problem with the query?
    Many thanks

    MikeIMHO it is inappropriate to ask about individual topics in this forum. IMHO It is better asked in the SQL forum. This forums is more about the infrastructure, processes and procedures of Oracle Certification.
    There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that discussion can lead toward exam questions being published. I have seen this happen on a number of occasions, sometimes the orignal is no really a problem ... then braindump extracts and copyright breach material is posted in the same or another thread.
    The other reason is that there are a really wide spread of oracle certifications, the 1z0-051 may well be one of hte most common certiifcation exams, but it is one of perhaps about a hundred or so certification exams offered.
    Also worth a check is : http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?isbn=0071597867
    NB: Having said that my bucket and shovel approach is when working with these things is not to rely on an implicit character to date conversion but to ensure I am using an explicit character to date conversion and see what happens with that.

    Please read:
    1) The forum faq (announcment stickey post at he top of this forum) [http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=794]
    2) The certification blog on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39]
    3) The oracle certifiaction site has lots currently on [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39]
    (View all certifications and drill down to a certifaction or exam), you should be able to find the exam topics.
    4) Search in this forums for posts on 1z0-051.
    5) If you are serious about Oracle also take time to become familar with the Oracle Technology website [http://www.oracle.com/technology] which has links to documentation and tutorials and other resources.
    6) IMPORTANT: Some 'online docs' you may find, or are directed to, or may be offered (particularly braindumps), may be unauthorised materials and using them could end up with you losing credit for any exam/certification you may take.
    Hopefully you will find these references and places to search useful.

    Or

    The 1Z0-001 is an old test. It was part of the Oracle 8i Certification Track. If you are studying for the Oracle 9i PL/SQL OCA, you can use the

  • Books/reading material for 1Z0-146

    Hi,
    Can anyone guide me regd books/reading material for exam 1Z0-146 (Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL).
    If anyone has given this exam, please help with details.

    user4589793 wrote:
    There is such a paucity of material for this examination, it makes it very difficult. I studied off the Oracle suggestions at the web site for the exam, then took the test and failed, with 50%. I didn't even complete the last 7 questions for lack of time. Poor time management on my part. However, I'm glad I took the exam. It's the only legitimate way to get real insight into the nature of the questions, and to apply that to how I will study to take it again. I did use the newest Fuerstein book. In my opinion it is his best hands down.
    Since failing, I also purchased uCertify's practice test, the only non-braindump prep test for 1z0-146 I know of. I don't think its questions are of Self Test Software quality with regard to likeness of its question format to the actual Oracle exam, but after having taken the exam I think it's better than some give it credit for and will definitely be a help, IMHO.
    I have my OCP in 9i Database and have passed two of the three exams for my Advanced PL/SQL OCP. I have never and would never touch a braindump site, as I'm sure you wouldn't or you wouldn't be asking for legitimate sources. I wish Oracle or it's approved prep vendor (Self Test) would make a legitimate alternative available. Without a legitimate alternative - Oracle Press and/or Self Test - honest test takers have a harder time passing. It's logical to assume that cheaters would comprise a higher percentage of all passers of this test than they do in tests with legitimate prep material.
    Oracle does have a course with a manual for 1z0-146. However, the course has yet to actually be offered anywhere, live or virtual, as I have checked. I don't know if Oracle would make available in some way the manual for us to study from. I still think Oracle should produce an Oracle Press book as well as pressure or subsidize Self Test Software to make a prep exam.
    Hope that helps.

    Layton, UtahI'd endorse this as a good answer with a lot of good balanced views and points, thus IMHO well worthy of a correct 10 points.

    Plz its very urgent....The nature of your posts impllies already have a 9i DBA OCP. Then I hope you realise it is very difficult for me to see how you would not realise any link or material you are sent is :-
    1) A link to material in breach of copyright ...
    2) Material in breach of copyright
    3) unauthorized learning material.
    4) Relatively limited or useless.
    About the only useful link you could be sent is ones into the Oracle Website or authorized training material. But you should, as a DBA, know these already!
    Overall .... there is a high chance of an NDA breach with any answers to post ... with possible subsequent loss of existing certification.
    - There is a Sybex book ... ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 or equivalent ... that may be helpful ... but the exam topics may have been updated since.

  • Where can I buy an authentic prartice test material for 1z0-047?

    Hello friends,
    I am planning to take the 1Z0-047 (Oracle Database SQL Expert) test by next month. I would like to buy the practice test kit that would be available in India to practice for the exam.
    I have searched on the internet for the test kits, and am confused about their authenticity.
    Please help.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Murli

    The officially recognised Kaplan IT practice tests are here on the oracle certification website
    ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=208 )
    Trascender is essentially a superset of SelftestSoftware. Beware of fake immitations.
    About the only other independent supplier is Ucertify, pretty well everthing else google provides will be braindump. Transcender/Selftestsoftware standard will typically be higher than Ucertify IMHO.
    Steve O'Hearns book also has practice exams on the cdrom.
    - I always caution against people studying for 1z0-047 without being above 1z0-051 standard first. 1z0-047 is really there for experienced SQL people.
