OCA 1Z0-042 ( 10g Admin-I ) Schedule

Hello Friends,
I have completed my first paper of ORACLE 10g certification i,e 1Z0-007 (Intro to SQL) in the month of April. I want to appear for the nest paper i,e 1Z0-042(10g Admin-I) in the month of july. The major issue is that i am not sure with the dates of the exam. I have to make some more plans in the same month for my education.
Can you people guide me where can i get to know the exact date of my exam(1Z0-042) so that i can prepare for it and plan my other stuff's.
On the same path can you people please guide me how to prepare for OCA 1Z0-042 exam so i can score the best in it.

Thanks.I am a little worried as to how you can take and pass the 1z0-007 without knowing the process or where to look for things.
The best answer you may have is that 1z0-007 was taken online and that the proctored exam is a little different, or maybe you were in some form of education institution and you didnt realise for they set you up.
If you visit the [www.oracle.com/education/certification] support/FAQs currently at
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=82#5Q1A] this should give details.
Quite frankly the process I go through is to go to the prometric website and go through as if I was going to book an exam but cancel out at the point when i had an idea of the availability of exams at close by prometric centers. Some close to me only operate a few days a month, others are available virtually 5 days a week. (All subject to availability).
I presume you have a prometeric ID ?
On the same path can you people please guide me how to prepare for OCA 1Z0-042 exam so i can score the best in it. See [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
Taking Oracle university course is the best preparation method in my opinion. It is however not necessarily the cheapest.

Can i take 1z0-042 (10g admin 1) after 1z0-007 Oracle 9i

Hello ! I have a query about Oracle Certification 10g admin 1 (1z0-042).
I have passed 1z0-007 Oracle SQL 9i in december 28 , 2012.
Now i have decided to complete OCP DBA track in Oracle 10g.
My Questions are,
1. should i need to upgrade?
2. Does1z0-042 complet my OCA ?
3. Will I have a choice to complete OCP by taking 1z0-043 ?
according to this link
Oracle Exam 1Z0-007 Is Being Retired: What Does That Mean to Me?
it's clear that i can take 1z0-042 exam having previous passed1z0-007 (SQL 9i) .
I am just asking this for my complete satisfaction before i am preparing for next exam.
thanks...

1. should i need to upgrade?
2. Does1z0-042 complet my OCA ?
3. Will I have a choice to complete OCP by taking 1z0-043 ?
I'm going to answer these out of order:
2. Yes. Passing 1Z0-042 would make you an Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Associate.
3. Once you have the 10g OCA, if you pass 1Z0-043 and complete the required hands-on training, you would become an Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Professional.
1. Once you are at step three (i.e. a 10g OCP), you can upgrade to 11g... and soon to 12c. This is good from a career standpoint, but I would not go to the extreme of saying you need to. If it comes to that, you don't need to become certified at all. Certification can help in your career as an Oracle DBA, but it is not a requirement.

1Z0-043 10g Admin II Exam material

Hi all
I've passed my 10g OCA, so gearing up for the 10g OCP exam (1Z0-043).
I will be working from the Watson / Bersinic book, and am also booked on the ADMIN WORKSHOP II 5 day Hands On course. My question concerns marrying up the topics in the book and the course, with what is in the syllabus.
The Hands On course description here:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17312&source_call=#4
..mentions topics relating to Database Security (VPD's), Data Movement (data pump, external tables etc) & VLDB's. By my reckoning Data Movement was covered in the OCA 1Z0-042 exam, and Database Security & VLDB's are not mentioned in the syllabus here, nor are they mentioned anywhere in the Watson book.:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_043#3
I know the syllabus is subject to change, and the Watson book has some crossover in terms of 1z0-042 & 043 material, but this would appear to be a large ommission. Primarily, I wish to ensure that I don't need to revisit data pump, nor cover the Security & Large Database material - the source of which would only appear to be available via the Hands On course / Oracle documentation anyway.
Comments welcome....
Thanks
bt

If a topic is not listed in the topics provided on the exam page (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_043#3), it will not be on the exam.

Oracle OCA 1Z0-042 exam next week

Im taking the OCA 1Z0-042 next week and was wondering if anybody within the forums has taken this exam lately and what I should be concentrating on. Im currently using test software and this book (Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Oracle Database 10g Handbook)

I am an OCP. I have completed my exams. But at times I feel too dumb. So OCP will not help you, unless you understand the concepts and have hands on experience. unless you live with oracle server. In fact, It may mislead yourself about your knowledge if you get an OCP from those brain dumps. (You may think yourself high, because you are an OCP. But in actual knowledge you will be very low).
To get an OCP from the brain dumps all you need is good memory power. That my 3 year old can do.
But that's not what being a DBA is.

OCA (1Z0-042)

Hi guys,
I want to prepare for OCA exam. Which among the following books would you recommend?
1. Sybex OCA Preparation
2. Osborne Oracle Press All in One Certification Guide.
If any others do lemme know.
Thanks.
Cheers.

I just managed to buy a used copy of Oracle University's Oracle 10g Administration Workshop I.
Which other books does Oracle University provide when we take a course from there for OCA PreparationThe one which you already have.
Check the following link, it contains the following:
- Recommended Training and Preparation
- Additional Information & Resources (Self Test Software & Transcender)
- Exam Topics
- References (Oracle Documents)

Just passed my OCA 1Z0-042

I've just passed my OCA !! Now the work really happens OCP next ..
Will a receive anything from Oracle ? Unique Oracle ID etc as I have done in the past with Microsoft exams ?

As stated on the Oracle Certification Program: Oracle Database 10g Administrator, once you have completed the OCA you receive a certificate saying you become OCA, but this doesn't happen right after you have finished your exam, at the site where you made the exam you only receive a pass/fail paper. Certificate should be arriving at the address you declared in your registration form within in eight weeks after the examination date, if this doesn't happen then you should address your request to the ocp program (contact information is displayed at the certification site).
You should be aware that for the OCP, there is a requirement for a hands-on course, and you must submit the hands-on course to receive the OCP certificate.

1z0-042 certificate

Hello to all you out there...
I have given 1z0-042 10g OCA exam on 29th September. Will Oracle send me any certificate for the same? Should I wait for the certificate? Please guide me!
Thank You.

Both the Certification steps and FAQ found from the main Certification/OCP page has answers to your questions.

10g Admin OCA Path- 1Z0-042

Hi all,
I am happy to tell you that I have cleared 1Z0-047 exam. Now I need to prepare for 1Z0-042, I have some queries regarding the same.
1. For 1Z0-047 exam, I studied on my own and could manage to clear the examination (not to boast myself, since I am working, I dint find time to attend classes and also my friend had asked me to study on my own for this exam).
Can I also study for 1Z0-042 on my own and clear the exam or is it required to go for coaching?
2. I am from Bangalore and here except at Oracle University, none of the training institutes will conduct classes in 10g ( I am not sure about this, if anyone knows any training institutes (other than Oracle university) who conduct classes in 10g Admin/1Z0-042 exam and fees being minimal, please reply with the address and phone number).
So can I still opt for Oracle 9i admin classes and write Oracle 10g admin exam?
3. If I study on my own, is the prescribed book by Chip Dawes sufficient?
Regards
Praveen

this seems good.

You can study for ANY Oracle exam on your own. (except perhaps OCM exams, if you get that far you should know what its about yourself).
However for some Certifications you may have to attend an authroized hands-on course from an authorized provided.
This does not affect you with regard to 1z0-042 for 10g DBA OCA; but DOES affect you if you go on for 10g DBA OCP.
2. I am from Bangalore and here except at Oracle University, none of the training institutes will conduct classes in 10g ( I am not sure about this, if anyone knows any training institutes (other than Oracle university) who conduct classes in 10g Admin/1Z0-042 exam and fees being minimal, please reply with the address and phone number).
So can I still opt for Oracle 9i admin classes and write Oracle 10g admin exam?
The simple answer is No. This will not get you a 10g OCP certification (and it wont get you a 9g OCP certification).
If you take a 9i authorized WDP program you will need to take 1z0-031 for your 9i DBA OCA (you already have 1z0-047).
You can then take 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 for your 9i DBA OCP. (A properly AUTHORIZED WDP class from an authorized provider will count as hands-on).
As a 9i DBA OCP you can then take 1z0-040 to attain a 10g DBA OCP with no further hands on courses. (You could also have taken 1z0-042+1z0-043 as an alternative to 1z0-040).
However if you simply pass 1z0-042+1z0-043 and do not present a course from the 10g DBA OCP approved course list you will not receive a 10g DBA OCP certificate.
All the info you need can be had by drilling down from [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=151]
3. If I study on my own, is the prescribed book by Chip Dawes sufficient?
The Dawes authors or part authors many books; I assume in this case you mean the sybex book wrt the 10g DBA OCA exam. This book is probably adequate for the exam, though you are advised also to seek other authorized certification-safe material and traiing and to become familiar with online documentation etc. Please rmember the topics have changed slightly since the book was written, the exam is now 10gR2 based; the book is 10gR1, though changes are not great.
Regards
Praveen
Edited by: user11183889 on Oct 19, 2009 12:14 PMYou have two choices:
1) Locate a suitable authorized WDP program provider, take the classes, and take the 9i DBA exams and to obtain a 9i DBA OCP then take further exam(s) to obtain a 10g DBA OCP.
or
2) Continue taking 1z0-042 and 1z0-043; but be very aware the 10g DBA OCP certification will not be obtained until you attend a hands on class. Please realise this can be expensive so locate courses that may before embarking. Remember that courses such as 10g Dataguard administation are 3 days courses and are cheaper. These are best attended at Oracle University. Also be aware 10g classes are being gradually replaced by 11g classes; so 10g classes may become rarer.
(Please be aware there appear to have been some examples of the WDP programme being delivered badly. You are recommended to try to contact previous students to confirm the course is delivered well by the institute you choose).
Please be aware at a WDP you a limited to a maximum of 6 hours tution a week MAXIMUM.

OCA 10g 1Z0-042 exam; Topics in the book 'OCP All In One Exam Guide'

Hello All
The book is divided into Part I (for 1Z0-042), and Part II (1Z0-043), however the Exam Topics doc on the website seems to cover more than is in Part I. E.g. Flashback is discussed in Chapter 29, a full seven Chapetrs into Part II!!
Can anyone offer definitive advice on the chapters to study, and also if this book covers all the topics? Is the Sybex book more accurately laid out in terms of topics?
Finally, I am considering buying the NetG tutorial disks, and the same question as above, do they cover all the material? I don't want to shell out £700 for nothing(!)
Thanks all

I must have been have been at the horses head. This is a sort of cross reference.
This is one of the first exam I did. (It probably cross references from the books to the exam topics - actually it looks like it juest references between books!).
I worked from the Oracle Press book as master the attacked the Sybex.
I learnt my lesson. I now start off first with official authorative exam topics and build my notes framework from that.

OCA Exam 1Z0-042 - focus on Oracle Database 10g R2 from Nov 1st.

I was planning to take the OCA (Exam 1Z0-042) next week. But I recently saw that starting November 1, the focus of the exam will be on Oracle Database 10g R2.
I have been preparing with the hlep of the Oracle10g Administraton I book from Sybex. Will the topis differ to a great extent now that the exam will focus only on R2? Has anyone taken this exam after November 1 and found a great difference?
Thanks,

Thanks bhuttie. I do plan to take the selftest exams but I was just thrown off with the words " focus on Oracle Database 10g R2" on Oracle's website. Did you take the exam after November 1 as well ?

The questions will be multiple choice. You might see questions that show a screen shot of EM.

Study material for the 1Z0-042 Oracle 10g exam

What is the best book to purhcase for the OCA 10g exam.. I've read some not got reviews about the Sybex OCA book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCA-Oracle-Administration-Study-1Z0-042/dp/0782143679/ref=sr_1_1/026-0307472-6450854?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185865079&sr=8-1
and some outstanding ones for the Osborne book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Database-Certification-Guide-Osborne/dp/0072257903/ref=pd_bbs_1/026-0307472-6450854?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185865135&sr=8-1
Whats your thoughts ?

Those are regular references to certification exams study material. But I suggest you to use the Oracle guides found at the official Certification guide, this will be useful to identify the specific topics you have to be focused on. Then install your 10gR2 database and read through reference manuals and practice, practice, and practice. Most of the material for certification is theoretical oriented, instead of practical oriented.
