May i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) exam or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051)

Hi all,
Please suggest me, may i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) Test or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051) Test with
oracle Administration 1(1Z0-042) Test.
Which will be the best option.
Thanks & Regards

You may use either exam along with the Oracle Administration 1 (1Z0-042) exam if your goal is to get a 10g DBA OCA credential.
The SQL Expert exam is quite a bit more challenging than the SQL Fundamentals exam. On the other hand, the SQL Expert exam gives you a separate SQL Certified Expert credential. If you can pass it, you should take the SQL Expert exam.

How to get Authorization for Certified (1z0-047) Exam

Hello Team,
I’ve done the 1z0-047 Exam on 03/20/10 with 98%.
And I tried to check the Authorization, But I forgot some details to fill. So now I just have 1 last attempt.
Please help me how to proceed further.

If this is registration on certview, which it sounds like, have a final attmept.
If it fails it will be sorted out manually in about a week or so.

Whether it is good to take training for 1z0-047 exams or self studies?

What is the good option among bottom two for 1z0-047:
Take training from Oracle partner training institute which cost me approximately 9000 rupees i.e apprx $195.
Or
Self study is better one???
If self study is better then from which material I can start preparing???
Please guide me..........

Please guide me..........I think its unwise to think about going straight for '1z0-047' in one go.
IMHO Really to get to 1z0-047 you need to get some SQL practice first ... and from other than a classroom. To get to 1z0-047 in one hop simply isn't reasonable for most people.
The praice quoted there seems cheap for a OEAC .... and i would be beware exactly what 'Oracle partner training institute' means .... ( I think you are proably talking about an offering from the workforce program). The are unauthorised trainers out there ... which is a problem for people aiming for a certification needing validiated authorised training (eg DBA OCP) .... but not so important for PL/SQL OCP's who don;t.

PraveenTo make a steam locomotive go one needs fire, water and steam. You can struggle by for a bit with a shortage of one of these.
And I think a better way to think about your question is:
IMHO To pass 1z0-047 you need knowledge practice and experience.
- And you can something squeeze through if one of these is a little weaker and the others very strong.
From the book you can gain knowledge (as indeed can the oracle documentation). IMHO If you gain it all, the knowledge from the book is sufficient for passing the exam.
You can also use the book to get a little test practice. (And perhaps a little practice of the SQL itself).
The book however doesn't give experience.
- Having said all this I feel starting from zero trying to pass 1z0-047 is likely to result in failure.
Better in my opinion is study for 1z0-051 first. It's a lot gentler on the brain. And take that. It's a lot cheaper if you fail it and need to retake. And the exam is easier (though you might have to learn more detail in places, which perhaps isn't a bad. thing).
........... But if after studying for 1z0-051 you elect to skip it and go for 1z0-047 direct that is your choice. 1z0-051 is a subset of 1z0-047 HOWEVER there will be more detail on some 1z0-051 topics on the 1z0-051 exam.

1Z0-047 vs 1Z0-051

Hi every one,
i have IT background but I am a beginner in Oracle Database, and intend to go for OCP DBA,
which one of the exam is better or worth to go for , as my target is DBA,
i have seen exam topics and 1z0-047 covers almost all the topics of 1z0-051, would it be beneficial for me doing 1z0-47 keeping in my mind my role as DBA in practical world?
you response would highly appreciated,
Regards,

1Z0-047 is a much harder test and for that reason, the more valued to have. It 'covers' all of the topics from 1Z0-051 largely in that questions from any of those areas is fair game, but it concentrates more on those topics that are unique to it. I've written study guides for both tests. My 1Z0-047 guide devotes a bit under 40% of the book to reviewing the topics from 1Z0-051 and the rest on the new material for 047. I'd say that the test itself was weighted more like 25% or less to the 051 topics to 75%-plus to the 047 ones. That's very much a ballpark estimate, though.
Both tests have a very high percentage of questions that involve SQL as either part of the question or part of the answer. In the 051 test, the SQL is more straightforward, and 'bad' SQL generally has reasonably obvious flaws. In 047, the difference between 'right' and 'wrong' answers is often much more subtle. the 047 questions are also much trickier in that they will present perfectly functional SQL that 'looks' flawed because it has been presented in a weird fashion. Which test is better for you is something I can't answer. 047 will automatically get you a certification -- namely the SQL Expert even before you get your OCP. There is no similar 'interim' certification for 051.
As a beginner in Oracle, I'd have to suggest that you take the 1Z0-051 exam. It's a better foundation in the essentials. The 1Z0-047 exam was written specifically to try to pass only people with several years of experience in Oracle SQL. While I won't argue that it's not possible to study sufficiently to pass the 047 exam without that experience, I will say that it's going to be consderably harder to do.
Both of my guides are available in Kindle or paperback. If you have a Kindle and are an Amazon Prime member, you can borrow them for free.

Exam 1Z0-047

Did anyone buy the new OCA Oracle Database SQL Expert Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-047 ?
Is it good in preparing for the exam.Is it better than Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals or Oracle Database 11g SQL in helping you to pass the 1Z0-047 Exam

Is it good in preparing for the exam.Probably, but bear in mind I haven't taken it. But it will cut my prep. time for this exam by an estimated 75%. Bear in mind my SQL is pretty reasonable but I've non really had the chance to focus on analytics functions and some other recently introduced topics ... i tend to drop to PL/SQL when the going gets tough ... which is sometimes a winning strategy but sometimes its the wring thing to do.
Is it better than Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals or Oracle Database 11g SQL in helping you to pass the 1Z0-047 ExamIf you are taliking about books the answer is almost certainly yes (if you are talking about training courses the answer is less clearcut). However my opinion is that when using a exam focused book you should always be prepared to access Original Oracle Documentation and possilbly other SQL books; and if your not familiar with the subject to get some additional non-exam focused training as well.

Regarding 1Z0-047 course material

Hi
Can anybody suggest me for a good 1Z0-047 exam course material online?Please respond for this ASAP.Its very urgent.Thanks in advance.

I do not see any 1Z0-047 specific certification guides. I have found little 1Z0-047 specific stuff except for the syllabus some example questions intending to lead to buying 'braindumps', and some comment saying you should train to the work of being a DBA instead of training to the test.
Not focusing on the tests seems a luxury, i.e. seems like withdrawing the ladder by those that have climbed the heights in the boom time.

Documentation for 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

Hi,
Could any one provide the URL for the documentation for the below certificaiton. Please provide the URL for documentation and not the sysllabus.
*1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert*

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:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
The content of the test is listed here:

Prerequisites for 1Z0-047 (Certified SQL Expert)?

I know a lot of the Oracle certification paths require that you take Oracle-sponsored training. the 1Z0-047 one however lists "recommended" training. I can't find anywhere that says whether the training is explicitly required, or whether it's acceptable to have learned the material other ways (private training, on-the-job learning). I don't want to waste money taking (and presumably passing) an exam when that won't be sufficient to earn the certification.

No I can't in deed! Was on hurry to write something to that also ;-)
But if you get 0% correct on the free sample questions given from oracle, then the chances are quite low...
As it is needed to be ready on all the topics in order to get a chance to pass the exam, it was more an advice to try the free sample questions given from oracle.
Personaly I always get through all the topics (with the documentation, training courses and/or books), making excercices on a test installation and get official selftest (if they are existing for this exam.
Cheers,
Hub

Surprised that 1Z0-047 (SQL Expert) does not include Analytic Functions

Apparently, from a reading of the 1Z0-047 outline, Analytic Functions are not "in scope" for the Exam.
Comments, anyone ?
Hemant K Chitale

Comments, anyone ?
There are definitely some gaps in the SQL coverage on that exam. I could see the exam being redone (and improved) for 12C much as 1Z0-144 was rewritten for 11G as a much improved version of 1Z0-147. I'd like to see them remove the individual listing of topics pulled from SQL Fundamentals. They should be replaced with either a much-compressed list or a single note that knowledge of SQL fundamentals is assumed. This might help with the level of confusion newbies have over which test they should take.
Adding all of the functions you mention would not only make the test more comprehensive but also allow the tone of the exam to be altered. Right now I consider it to be filled with questions intended to misdirect the test candidate. The questions are 'tricky' rather than 'difficult'. This is largely because SQL is inherently easy to read so the only way to make it hard *is* to write deliberately bad SQL. Adding more advanced topics would allow for more questions that don't have to be made artificially more difficult.

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.

Books for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144

Hello all,
I'm planning to study for "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" certification. I was planning to prepare for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144 as both of those exams are validated against Oracle Database 11g.
I was wondering if any of guys here can help me out with the couple of questions that I have.
1. Which one would you recommend among the two of the below exams?
1Z0-047 (Oracle Database SQL Expert)
or
1Z0-051 (Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I)
2. What books should I refer for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144? I read a lot of threads about this topic. But, I haven't found a proper answer yet, which is why I'm posting this question again.
For 1Z0-047, I saw people recommending the following:
OCA Oracle Database SQL Expert Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-047 (Osborne Oracle Press Series) by Steve O'Hearn
OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass
For 1Z0-144, I saw people recommending the following:
Oracle PL/SQL Programming: Covers Versions Through Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (Animal Guide) by Steven Feuerstein and Bill Pribyl
OCP Developer PL/SQL Program Units Exam Guide by Steve O'Hearn
I kindly request you guys to help me out as I don't have much idea about these books. It would be really great if someone who has passed the exams or read these books throw some light on these.
Thanks in advance.

( I feel like I am advertising Ucertify ... which I dont want to be. I feel if I dont do this people will end up with braindump providers). Some may even find a poor quality practice test more harm than good, time may have been better sent learning from the online manuals and practicing what is there.

Mock exams for 1Z0-047

Does anyone know of any official mock exams for the SQL Expert exam (1Z0-047)? All I can find are dodgy brain dump sites...
Also how realistic are the questions in the Master Exams that come with OCA Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-047) (Osborne Oracle Press Series) - Steve O'Hearn? The questions at the end of each chapter seem far too simple to me and are much easier than the 7 or so sample questions on the Oracle page for this exam. Any thoughts from those who have taken the exam and used this book?

( The questions the the end of the first few chapters are trivial ... they then become more relevant ).
Well I found the book helpful and from what I can remember the practice tests helped point some gaps I had.
Typically I think I find real exams sometimes need a bit longer than that on some of the practice tests.
I personally only use practice tests when i think i have learnt all material as a check to where i'm at and to identify gaps.
I will even leave the end of chapter tests under i think i have grasped everything.
And I will never take end of chapter tests if i have read that chapter earlier in the day!
( If i get tempted must take end of chapter tests early then i choose a reasonably meaty chapter about 1/3 into the book).
The book was enough for me .... but it may not be so for everyone ... we can be different and start from different places.
Someone mentioned they got rhu the test easily in an hour .... well i was pushing time the whole way through!
