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.

Could any one provide the URL for the documentation for the below certificaiton. Please provide the URL for documentation and not the sysllabus.

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.

Questions about 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

I am planning to take this exam and I have several questions:
1) I am using Steve O'Hearn's 'SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide' book and this states the following about SQL functions:
"Be sure to review the Oracle Database SQL Language Reference Manual and review the lengthy description of all of the SQL functions before taking the exam"
In trial tests it seemed that book's information was enough, but how about real exam? Is it necessary to study something in addition to this book information? You can answer regarding other exam objectives as well, if there is something that I should read from some other materials.
2) The book states that I can add not null constraint to column that has null values, if I specify default value. I tried and cannot, I get error. So the book states it wrongly or do I misunderstand something?
3) The book states that I cannot drop a NOT NULL constraint, but I can get the job done using: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name NULL;
I tried and I can execute: alter table table_name drop constraint nameofnotnullconstraint;
4) To use external tables, is only read grant on the directory necessary or also write?
5) I understood from the book that to flashback table (e.g to before drop) I need to have row movement enabled on the table. But I tried and I can make this flashback operation to table that does not have row movement enabled. How can this be explained!
Big thanks in advance!

#1) well, the manual is free; find here the SQL Language Reference - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
#2 & 3) If you proved it yourself, that settles it!
#4) Here's a good article about external tables: http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=512
I noted this paragraph in it, which might answer your question:
In addition to the standard read-write Oracle directory that we need for our external table, we also need an additional executable directory object for the preprocessor. This directory defines the location of the executables used by the preprocessor (we will be using gzip below). As far as Oracle is concerned, an executable directory is one that has EXECUTE privileges granted on it (this is an 11g feature specifically to support the preprocessor).
#5) don't know

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!

1z0-035 study guide

anyone have 1z0-035 study guide or material?
kindly let me to know............................pls

There is no study guide specific to 1Z0-035 available. Since the test is being retired in a few months, it is unlikely there will be one created. You can find the relevant documentation and links to white papers and other material that can be used to prepare at the following URL:
http://www.oraclecertificationprep.com/apex/f?p=OCPSG:EXAM_DETAILS:0::NO::P2_EXAM:1Z0-035
I see that you asked this same question back in October of 2011 and apparently didn't follow through to upgrade your OCP:
Upgrade ebooks/material required
1Z0-035 is being retired. After July 31st, if you have not upgraded your OCP, you will have to take the exam *1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g DBA New Features for Oracle8i OCPs*. There is also no study guide specific to this exam.

1Z0-046 Study guide - recommendations?

I am trying to find good and reliable sources for study guides and practice Q & A for exam 1Z0-046 - "Oracle Database 10g: Managing Oracle on Linux Certified Expert".
Normally I use self-test software for this purpose but unfortunately they only seem to provide the more mainstream certifications and upgrades.
Do you guys have any recommendations on alternative suppliers of study guides etc ? A quick search on the internet reveals for example [removed by moderator - know braindump site] which at first glance seems alright.
Another one is [removed by moderator - known braindump site] which also seems like a good choice.
Any recommendations and/or previous experience would be appreciated.
Regards,
V
Edited by: Certification Forum Moderator on Sep 23, 2010 8:05 AM

I have to advise you to check www.certguard.com before you go to any website for certification prep, to check whether a site is legitimate or not.
Both of the websites you mentioned, testking and cert-insider, come up as braindump sites.
The implications are that, by using materials from there, you violate the agreement you make with Oracle when you take the test, and can have your certifications revoked.
I looked on Amazon, and saw that there's a book called Oracle Database 10g Linux Administration. That was the only resource I could find for the test, so probably you will want to delve into Oracle's online documentation to prepare.

1Z0-882 study guide (MySQL 5.6 Developer) - recommendation

Hi
I hope that will help others,,,,,
I found a good study guide for 1Z0-882 (Oracle Certified Professional, MySQL 5.6 Developer)
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032274.do

@Matthew Morris
Do you plan to release study guide for 1Z0-882 MySQL 5.6 Developer? I recommend you, because MySQL has much larger user base and that means more $$ for you.
I have a list of definite and potential exams that I plan to write guides for. I am currently working on one for 1Z0-460: Oracle Linux 6 Implementation Essentials and hope to release that in a couple of weeks. Then I have at least one (1Z0-054: Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning), and possibly two (second undetermined) that I want to do before I start on guides for the 12c exams (1Z0-060 and 1Z0-062).
When I saw that 1Z0-882 and 1Z0-883 were in beta, I added them to my list. However, I have no idea when (or if) I'll get to them. I can guarantee that it will not be this year. Next year... who knows. 1Z0-460 was not originally in my near-term list of guides to write. I switched from 1Z0-054 to it because I got an opportunity to take a boot camp for Oracle Linux 6 and decided to write that guide while the information was fresh in my memory. Because I don't have a contract with a publisher to write this book by that date... the actual order of the guides is fluid and gets determined weeks (or even days) in advance rather than months.

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 ).

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 wonder how come both of them lead to the same pool! (Oracle Certified Associate)
ThanksAs you say 1z0-051 is an easier exam and covers sufficent SQL for most people. There are Oracle Press and Sybex Books covering this exam. Its actually slightly cheaper and can be done online, though I tend to advise against doing it online unless you have a particular reason for this (eg you like on the Arran Islands where there isnt a test center or something).
1z0-047 (although I believe 10g based) covers advanced topics like analytic functions. It does cover get you an SQL certified expert (OCE) for passing it. (Thats why this exam cannot be done online and is a little more expensive). There is also less material directly available to most people to cover the topics on it.
I almost always tend to recommend people thinking of taking 1z0-047 to take 1z0-051 first to get experience. But I have seen people on this forum directly study ffor 1z0-047 and pass it.
For a numnber (all?) of the DBA and PL/SQL an SQL exam in addition to a DBA or PLSQL OCA level exam is require for OCA ...
eg
DBA-10g-OCA : One of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051) and 1z0-042
DBA-11g-OCA : One of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051) and 1z0-052
PLSQL-OCA : One of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051) and one of (1z0-147 or 1z0-144)
