Do I not need to worry about putting the DB, Logs, TempDB on different arrays? Or is my DB so small, it wont really matter since it will be on a SSD Array?Correct, just one array. No need to worry about anything on a second array. Another partition as Robert mentions is good, but a partition doesn't imply another array. One array, several partitions.
Got it! Thanks :)Do you have any idea how to fix this: http://i.imgur.com/ukRereP.pngThat is the result of Missing Indexes, I believe.

Hey Guys,I'm far from a DBA. My SQL knowledge is pretty low. But here is what I have:1 Physical SQL Server 2008R2 (Newest SPs/Hotfixes) 2x Quad Core Xeon's 32GB DDR3 ECC Intel RS2BL080 RAID Controller w/BBU 2x 15k SAS RAID1 (OS) 4x 15k SAS RAID10 (DB)We have two primary Databases that really see activity. All DBs total under 250GB. All the DB stuff is on the RAID10. DB+Logs.Everything was fine until we updated our primary app that uses the database, and it has totally wrecked our performance. Our write latency has tripled (from an avg of 5ms to 15ms now), SQL Lock Timeouts, LatchWaitTime, PageWrites, and Latches has nearly doubled or tripled since the update. (I can provide a ton of historical performance graphs of anyone is curious)My thinking here is to VMWare Convert and vMotion the SQL server over to our ESXi Host, replace all the...

Need to form SQL Query

Hi friends,
I have two tables
TABLE1 contains 2 columns kpi_id and kpi_code
Data in table1 will something as follows:
SET_ID - KPI_ID - KPI_CODE
1 - 1 - KKK
1 - 2 - GGG
1 - 3 - HHH
TABLE2 contains 2 columns kpi_id and PRIORITY
Data in table 2 will be something as follows:
KPI_ID - PRIORITY
4 - 1
6 - 2
5 - 3
2 - 4
1 - 5
3 - 6
Now I need to read data from table1 with the priority in the table 2 which should be best available priority.
i.e. In table1, for the set_id 1 the available KPI_IDs are 1, 2 and 3 only.
But in table 2, the priority 1 is 4 and which is not there in table1.. same case for priority 2 and 3. And priority 4 is KPI_ID 2. and which exists in table1.
So I need to read table1.KPI_CODE with KPI_ID 2.
Please provide the info on how to write this query..
Thanks in advance

Please Help with JtextArea!! Need advice from Java expert!

Hi, I need something VERY simple, and it is unbelievable I'm looking for a solution for so long! I really hope some of you java-gurus can help me out. Here's the thing:
1. Make a Jframe
2. Add a JTextArea and use a transparent color (e.g. 0.1f,0.1f,0.1f,0.1f)
3. loop a setText method to display a constantly varying text, e.g. the time in milliseconds
I simply can't do it in any way if I use transparency. Without transparency it works with no problems.
I am on Mac, and I have checked out this site:
http://www.curious-creature.org/2007/04/10/translucent-swing-windows-on-mac-os-x/
but I can't figure out how the guy who wrote the code made it work on mac (he didn't add the full code and the imports). I already tried to contact him, but no answer...
so PLEEEEASE take 5 minutes to write a very small example of how to manage a varying text on a transparent window.
Thanks a lot in advance
Lele

-> did you maybe check out the link I posted?
Yes, I did which is why I asked the question are you trying to create a transparent JFrame so that the desktop image is displayed in the frame? To my knowledge this feature (if it works) is a Mac only feature and does not work on windows. If this is what you are trying to do then I have no idea how to do it and will not respond any more.
-> the GPS coordinates are displayed on top of the moving map, with no visible background
I guess I have trouble understanding what this is - "a map with no background"?
Is the map just not an image (ie. a JLabel with an ImageIcon) placed in a scrollpane? Then as the map moves you change the viewport position so it looks like the map is moving? Then you can simply add a label containing the GPS coordinates on top of the label representing the map.
-> have you considered using a JLabel in an OverlayLayout?
Right which is what I was thinking. Something simple like:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class LabelMap extends JFrame
     public LabelMap()
          JLabel map = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("yourMap.jpg"));
          getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(map));
          JLabel point = new JLabel();
          point.setLocation(50, 50);
          point.setText(point.getLocation().toString());
          Dimension d = point.getPreferredSize();
          point.setSize(d.width, d.height);
          point.setFocusable(true);
          map.add(point);
          KeyListener kl = new KeyAdapter()
               public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
                    JLabel point = (JLabel)e.getSource();
                    Point p = point.getLocation();
                    if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP)
                         p.y -= 5;
                    else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN)
                         p.y += 5;
                    else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)
                         p.x -= 5;
                    else if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT)
                         p.x += 5;
                    point.setLocation(p);
                    point.setText(p.getLocation().toString());
                    Dimension d = point.getPreferredSize();
                    point.setSize(d.width, d.height);
          point.addKeyListener(kl);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          LabelMap frame = new LabelMap();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.setSize(300, 300);
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
}In the above example you can scroll the image and dynamically move the text using the arrow keys.

How to be a Forms & PL/SQL Expert?

Hi Experts, I am very new to Oracle Forms and PL/SQL. I have been doing development in Forms (mostly in 10g but I also in 6i) and PL/SQL for little over 2 years.
My problem is, I don't know much about how to progress up the ladder to be an Oracle Forms & PL/SQL expert.
My other big problem is trying to find out how to keep pace with the latest development in Forms and PL/SQL.
For example, my manager asked me how to print a file in a client printer. I could not give him a solution at once. Only after couple of hours of searching did I find the solution using WebUtil.
Another instance a manger asked me how to encrypt data in Oracle forms. Again I had to do an extensive search on the web.
Can an "expert" give a solution at once, without going to the web?
Another time I was asked to do a performance tuning and could not do it since I have not done before. I tried to follow the method found in this site using a personal DB in my machine but could not simulate a situation.
How do you keep track of latest developments?
Are their any sites to go to?
Is there a routine you can follow?
Do you have to do R&D regularly? How often?
How many hours of reading web-sites (on Forms, PL/SQL stuff) should you do for a week?
How do YOU experts do it?
You advice would be greatly appreciated.

First of all I don't consider myself an expert, so my advice here might be flawed as they are based on my experiences ;)
Can an "expert" give a solution at once, without going to the web?Frankly I hardly know how to write a file using text_io or utl_file, or use some other somewhat regular-use supplied packages without looking them up in the documentation. Well I somehow know, but the code will most certainly throw compile errors. This is due to the fact that the entire oracle documentation is huge, and there are version dependend manuals, and I never liked memorizing things I could easily look up. It just doesn't make sense to memorize entire documentations when you can look them up. So even for basics I go to the web...
For example, my manager asked me how to print a file in a client printer. I could not give him a solution at once. Only after couple of hours of searching did I find the solution using WebUtil. So in the end you found a solution yourself didn't you?
Another instance a manger asked me how to encrypt data in Oracle forms. Again I had to do an extensive search on the web.I am around forms a few years, and I don't know an ad-hoc answer to that. I might have a clue, but for a advice I'd have to try and most certainly consult google.
Another time I was asked to do a performance tuning and could not do it since I have not done before. I tried to follow the method found in this site using a personal DB in my machine but could not simulate a situation. And you know at least where to start now even if you didn't solve the problem, don't you?
When I started programming C/C++ in school we had a teacher who I consider a C-Guru. Sometimes the answer to how would I implement X? was I don't know exactly yet, but let me do some research and I'll show you. Needless to say that we certainly got our answers. The same guy taught Java with the opening phrase I don't know much about Java, but it is Object-Oriented, the Syntax is C like,and the documentation is quite extensive. He explained things better to us then others who asserted knowing Java.
IMHO curiosity and being keen to experiment are much more valuable then the ability to memorize manuals and APIs. You might solve your problems with your actual knowledge today, but tomorrow there are new challenges which require new knowledge to be accumulated.
If you face a problem don't hesitate to get your hands dirty. If a program doesn't do what it's supposed to do fire up the debugger, look at diagnostic infos and see why it fails instead crying about that you don't know why. If you need to learn a new language install the compiler, and write code until it compiles and does what you want it to do. If you need to work with the new asdf server enterprise edition install it, turn it upside down, blow it's config into pieces until it stops working and maybe get it running after that.
Everything else boils down to showing an active interest in the things you do. There is no formula saying "spend X hours a week on asktom and eventually become a database expert". I regularly (can't say how often) visit asktom because I like reading the questions there. I don't do it because I must or want to become an expert someday, it is simple curiosity.
As for places to look this is answered easily: the key source for informations on new products is the vendors homepage. It's OTN for oracle, MSDN for microsoft, ubuntu.com for ubuntu, and what ever else. Technical articles etc. about the products are at least listed there.
Of course in software development there is (at least) one rule which always applies:
always write code as if the person who will maintain your code is a maniac serial killer that knows where you live

Form created with Livecycle Designer with a SQL database - do you need LiveCycle Forms installed?

Hello,
I'm REALLY hoping someone here can help me, I have spent over four hours on the phone to Adobe in the last 3 days and I'm getting no where what-so-ever. I can't even find out where /how to complain about it! (but thats another story)
Here's my situtation:
I work for a company with approx 140 staff. On one computer, we have Adobe Livecycle Designer ES installed, and we have used that program to create a form which has a link to a SQL database.
The link in this form doesn't work on the other computers which has the basic (free) Adobe Reader. From doing research within these forums
, I have found that the form will not work on other computers unless they have Adobe Livecycle forms installed on their machines.
What I need to know (and what they cannot seem to tell me when I call), is two things:
Is it correct that in order to use a form created in Livecycle Designer which has a link to a SQL database, that the machine must have LiveCycle forms installed?
How much does Adobe LiveCycle Forms costs?
PLEASE, if you can answer this question, I would REALLY appriciate it....
Thank you!

I presume you are asking if you need Livecycle Forms ES? Forms ES is a component of the livecycle software suite intended as a document service which will be installed on a server within the organisation. A couple of things this document service can do is to render XDP into multiple formats (PDF, html, etc.), execute script server side (for example the database connection) on behalf of the client (reader, etc.), integrate with backend components, etc. So no you do not install this on each client.
For database connections to work, you either have a server with Forms ES installed which can connect on each clients behalf (ie. Client->Forms ES Server->Database), or you have a reader-extended PDF to allow connections to be use in the free basic Reader (i.e. direct calls to the database or using web service calls to your own database components). However, reader-extended pdf would probably require Reader Extensions ES component installed on a server (you once off extend your developed pdf through this and then hand it out to each of the end users). Not sure if the Acrobat Reader extensions will cover this functionality since I have not tried that. I dont think it does. Otherwise you would need full acrobat on each client.
How much database integration is your form actually doing at the moment? read only? Full access? And how many clients do you expect to hit your database? Depending on what you need the form to do, there is always the option to try and build the integration yourself. Do simple http submits from the browser (hosting reader as a plugin) to some component somewhere which in turn hits your database. Wouldnt require additional licensing but alot more development work.
As for cost for the various components, thats a question only Adobe can answer for you since they all sit squarely in the enterprise space and licensing for that is not as simple as off the shelf products.
Maybe someone else has a view on it or has an alternative.

Newbie needs advice on a 3 page form

hello, i need direction as to how to proceed with this problem.... i have a form that spans three jsp pages, the submit button is on the third page, and the other two pages have continue buttons.... the form contains textboxes (page 1), checkboxes (page 2), textareas and "input type file" (page 3).... i need to know how to hold off submitting the entire form until the third page is completed without losing previous values from the other two pages.... i'm planning on using a servlet for this....

First of all, a form cannot span three pages. You need a form on each page.
If you want to pass values from page to page, you might want to make use of hidden form fields.
For example,
page1.jsp:
<html>
<form action="page2.jsp">
<input type="text" name="param1">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</html>
page2.jsp:
<html>
<form action="page3.jsp">
<input type="hidden" name="param1" value="<%= request.getParameter("param1") %>">
<input type="text" name="param2">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</html>
page3.jsp:
<html>
<form action="myServletURL">
<input type="hidden" name="param1" value="<%= request.getParameter("param1") %>">
<input type="hidden" name="param2" value="<%= request.getParameter("param2") %>">
<input type="text" name="param3">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</html>
Then your servlet should be able to get all the parameters.
There might be a more elegant solution, but this is one simple way to do it.

Forms: sql with bind variable as default value to form field?

I am using a form as a way to show details of already entered rows in a table. A report passes an id parameter to the form to get it to show the right data. No insert or update is possible. (I am using a form rather than a report because I need to display BLOBs, something reports can't do.)
I need to execute sql statements based on the passed id to fill certain fields in the form with data from other tables. For example: The table the form is based on includes a category_id, whereas I want to display the category name which resides in another table.
How would I best achieve this?

Hi,
You do this in the additional plsql code section of the form by getting the value of the category_id from the session variables and then getting its name from the cateogory table and assigning it to the category name column.
Sample Code
declare
catid number;
catnm varchar2(30);
blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
catid := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_CATEGORY_ID');
select category_name
into catnm
from cat_table
where category_id = cat_id;
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_CATEGORY_NAME',
p_value => catnm
end;
Thanks,
Sharmila

Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
Much obliged for any input

My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED. Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

In dev server my payment advice form f110_prenum_chc is not working

hi,
friends i need urgent help.
1) i have copied f110_avis_in frm 000 client to 200 client with form name
   z_prenum_dup.
2) i have copied f110_prenum_chc frm 000 client to 200 client form name
zf110_prenum_chc1.
3) then i modified my both forms in 200 saved assigned TRs and
transported frm DEV server to PRD server(client 700).
4)in dev server 200 client my both forms are working
but in prd server 700 client my form cheque z_prenum_dup is
working but payment advice form zf110_prenum_chc1 is
not working.
5) but i can see my both forms r their in 700 prd server in se71 t.code.
6) if i run f-58 tr.code and by switching on debug mode i can see my
   cheque form but not payment advice form.
7) if i run in 200 client i can see my both forms.
can any body plz help me out of this issue.

Dear,
   I will be able to put some points, if you can give me some more idea about ur problem,
1, Does system giving any error..?
2, Can you see a preview..?
As I understood, it must not have any problem in transportation.
You can also check with Respective functional consultant whether he has done with required customization in NACE..?
One more thing you can do is,
open a program RSNAST00 and put break point at " PERFORM (tnapr-ronam) IN PROGRAM (tnapr-pgnam) USING returncode", here you can check at runtime ( While in debugging mode) the value of field TNAPR-FONAM, this value must be your SmartForm. If it is not the case then, there is problem with NACE settings and contact your functional counterpart.
Hope it's helpful .......Enjoy.

Chetan

How to seperate vendor payment advice form/customer payment advice form?

Hi all,
i was wondering if you could create a seperate payment advice form for
vendors
and
customers.
I used transaction code SE71 to visualize forms. Examples of payment forms for each company code can be found in customization "allocate forms to paying company code".
The challenge that you will have to take is to seperate the payment advice for vendors and the payment advice for customers.
Is that possible in SAP? Or is the payment advice for vendors automatically the same for customers?
What i want to make is the following:
- payment advice for vendors
- payment advice for customers
(So i can make changes in accounting clerk, addres, etc...)
Thanks in advance.
Pamela.

Hello Pamela,
Payment Advice is normally unique for each Payment Method/Company Code.
If a special treatment is required to differentiate between Customers & Vendors (Example - Special information, layout difference, special details) in the Payment Advice, you can always handle it with in the same SAP Script Form that you configure for the Payment Method/Company Code.
Either the field KOART (Account Type) in REGUP enables you to differentiate between Customers & Vendors. Please let me know if you need some examples.
Hope this info answers your question. Please reward.
With Regards

JMS to Synchronous Web Service Scenario (Need Advice to use BPM or Not)

Hi Experts,
We have a scenario where we fetch data from JMS Sender and Send it to MDM Webservices.
We want to have the files processed in such a way that until we get a response from webservice back that it was sucessful ,then only we need to process the next file.
We would need advice as can we use BPM for this.
We are thinking of having BPM like this:
RecieveStep(Asyn)-SynchronousSend Step(with wait)-Stop
The problem with this is when processing huge files the processing time of the Queue is taking very long and sometimes we are getting SYSFAIL.
Please would anyone advice as how can we approach this scenario either using BPM or without.
Also Can we use multiple queues or multpile instances concept for this scenario.
Please Advice.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
J

Hi Prateek,
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
The response from Webservice does not need to be sent anywhere.
We just want that after recieving the response back from webservice(SOAP) then only we need to process the next file.
Can we control something from Sender JMS adapter side as well as it is picking up all the files and all files wait at BPE until each one gets processed.
Is this possible without BPM or with BPM.
Please advice as what wud be possible steps inorder to achive it through BPM or Without BPM.
Thanks and Regards,

Doc Project with format confusion- need advice

I have a documentary project with a plethora of footage formats because the doc spans a long length of time and different project collaborators. We just shot more footage and I don't want to move forward converting the new footage until I know the best path to take form here on out. please advise.
Here is the info.
Below i'm listing the descritption of footage, the format, and the % I'm predicting it will be used in the final edit of the documentary I'm working on.
Archival Footage: DV NTSC 720x480 (10%)
Original footage shot: DV NTSC 720x480 anamorphic (40%)
Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Panasonic HVX200: DVCPRO HD 720p60 29.97 (35% shared with canon 7D footage listed below)
Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Canon 7D: shot 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square. I converted this footage to 720p60 29.97 to match the Panasonic footage but I still have the original files saved. (35% shared with hvx200 footage listed above)
New Footage shot with Canon 7D: 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square (15%)
Timelines:
- I edit the SD footage in timelines with SD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
- I edit the HD footage in timelines with DVCPRO HD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
- when footage of both formats ends up in one 'scene' the timeline is DV NTSC 720x480
- when I output a rough cut, I nested sequences and output DV NTSC 720x480
I have not converted the new footage yet and before I do convert it and then transform continue editing, I feel I need to re-evauluate how I'm approaching the multi-format situation. I need advice about the best path to take from here on out. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Should I upconvert the SD footage and do everything HD from now on? The final cut will probably be 50% SD and 50% HD with possibly more HD than SD.
If I do upconvert and go HD, is 720p60 29.97 the best format for me to use considering my footage sources? If you have any ideas, please also explain how you might go about carrying them out.
Thank you!

Exactly, whic is why I'm seeking advice. the final delivery will be film festival screenings and hopefully broadcast, and considering the channels today that = HD.
That's not a final decision at all, that's a series of delivery options. You must produce your project in the highest resolution for which you have space, codecs and techniucal competency.You will save that as the "final" but I'd not call it that since nothing is ever finalized. Jsut keep naming the versions. Then you will open the full rez version and use any of several conversion or compresiona apps to satisfy all other distribution needs.
The omst flexible will be a 1080/60 format but that decision will cost you tons of conversion time, lots of space, and will require many stylistic decisions along the way.
That's what I would do but I'm not you and I'm not your client.

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.
