Plnning is good.

The codes you mentions are exams, not certifications, and passing both fulfills the pre-requisites for a PL/SQL OCA certifcation.
1z0-051 and 1z0-144 are more modern alternatives.
Please suggest me the ebooks to prepare and how to register in bangalore....Browse http://certification.oracle.com
Study support / FAQs and Preparation. Identify the certification you wish to achieve, and the topics for the associated exams.

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.

Thanks in advance.- I assume you mean the 10g DBA OCA. You eed one of he SQL exams and 1z0-042 for this.
- Read forum annoucement posts and FAQs
- Visit [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification]
- Visit [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=151] and drill down from there.
---- The exam course page also gives recomended oracle training.
---- See [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
- [http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle/locate/]
You should also evaluate why you are chooses 10g DBA OCA rather than 11g DBA OCA. There can be good reasons for this.
Please note that if you continue with the next DBA certiifcation on that route (10g DBA OCP ) you will need to have an approved attended a hands on course (for that certification) from an approved institution (Oracle University is the safest bet).

Oracle 11g OCA certification

I am newbie .I would like to know a good book for Oracle 11g OCA certification ,1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052(with lesser number of mistakes).Appreciate a response.

I can tell you from personal experience that it is extraordinarily difficult to write a technical book with zero defects. Spell-checkers and grammar checkers produce huge numbers of false positives when looking for standard (i.e. non technical) errors. Technical errors are easy to introduce -- forget to add a 'Not' in a sentence, or something similar -- and hard to detect afterward. When I read through my study guides looking for errors, I tend to see what I meant to write.
That said, such defects are normally a tiny fraction of the information contained within certification manuals. A couple of reviews on the Oracle Press 1Z0-052 book written by John Watson mention a couple of errors and then imply the book is filled with more. I've read the book and it is very informative. It contains hundreds of pieces of information and contains about ten errors -- all mentioned in the errata on the McGraw Hill site. The books is good preparation for the text and for learning the basics of being an Oracle DBA.
As Aman indicated, using more than one source is a good way to help to detect inaccuracies. I believe in always using multiple sources and the documentation is generally a good option for that.

OCA Certification

i recently enrolled for the OCA Certification for which i was to sit for 1ZO-051 exam and 1ZO-052 exams. I have already sat for the first exam( 1ZO-051) and am yet to sit for the second exam. Recently i checked on thew oracle website; they had written something to the effect the OCA Certification has been discontinued and that nearest certfication is OCP. please advise as am abit confused

The OCA is unlikely to go away any time soon. If for some strange reason OU decided to do away with it, they would have to give lots of advance notice.

1Z0-051 without OCA certification

Hi everyone.
I am currently a university student with a great interest in SQL. As a result, I intend to take the SQL Fundamentals qualifications (1Z0-051). I believe passing this exam alone is not sufficient to get an OCA certification, but I am not really interested in becoming a DBA later, I can see myself as a developer instead. I know that there is a SQL Expert qualification too, but I believe I do not have the neccessary experience to pass that exam yet, so I am starting with 1Z0-051. My question is, even though it does not give me a certification, is there still a way it can be placed on my CV so that the employer can track it down/check its validity? Do I get an ID or some sort of code after passing the exam, which can be used for others to look my results up online?
Thank you,
All the best,
D

... I am not really interested in becoming a DBA later, I can see myself as a developer instead.
Just a SQL developer? If you take (and pass) the exam 1Z0-144 after 1Z0-051, you will become an OCA PL/SQL developer. That will be a verifiable Oracle certification.
...is there still a way it can be placed on my CV so that the employer can track it down/check its validity? Do I get an ID or some sort of code after passing the exam, which can be used for others to look my results up online?
You can certainly put on your CV that you passed the Oracle SQL Fundamentals exam. You will get a PDF of the test results that you can show to an employer if they ask. However, the only options in CertView on publishing credentials to third parties is for certifications, not test results.

OCA Certification Inquiry

Hi,
I am preparing to give OCA certification.
And this may sound to be a stupid question but I have a doubt.
OCA certification as a whole consists of two parts right
1Z0-051 - SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-052 - Oracle DBA Fundamentals I
Are the above two separate certifications?Is it that passing these above certifications only will grant me OCA certification.
If yes then do we have to give them at the same time or there can be gap between them(If gap then how much it would be).
Also could you please let me know the cost of the above two certifications.
Thanks you,
Anshul

OCA certification as a whole consists of two parts rightRight.
Are the above two separate certifications?No. They are separate tests. The two tests together will grant you the Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate certification.
If yes then do we have to give them at the same time or there can be gap between themThey can be taken at widely separated times. There is no time limit beyond the retirement of the exams. You might take 051 tomorrow and 052 three years from now.
Also could you please let me know the cost of the above two certifications.1Z0-051: $125 US
1Z0-052: $195 US

When to take the OCA certification

Hi! I am barely 6 months within the job in the Database Administration field (fresh graduate) and I believe I'm still learning the ropes, I would like to ask when is the best time to take an OCA certification and what are the preparations you suggest I can do.
Oracle Newbie here :)

...and I believe I'm still learning the ropes, I know you still are. I've been working with Oracle for 17 years and I haven't stopped learning yet.
I would like to ask when is the best time to take an OCA certificationThe best time to study for an Oracle certification is today, tomorrow, and whenever you have the time so long as you are working in the field. The best time to not be studying for a certification is when there is something that you need to learn that doesn't yet have an associated certification. Study until you learn that... then go back to studying for a certification.
In the IT field, if you are not learning, then you are becoming obsolete.
...and what are the preparations you suggest I can do.Read the manuals. Read white papers. Check out the Oracle Learning Library. Links to a number of certification-specific study materials are available on oraclecertificationprep.com. You have also commented in the 1Z0-051 thread this evening. The available links for that exam are available at:

There are several different OCA certifications; if you tell us the one you want the choices get clearer; though in general one hopes the OCA candidate has some degree of ability to work it out for themselves; though a bit of confirmation is sometimes understandable as there is a lot of investment involved by some people.

OCA certification and remainder function

Hello, I'm studying for the OCA certification and need help to understand how the remainder function works.
I read that (http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/remainder.php) the remainder(m,n) is calculated as: m - (n * X) where X is the integer nearest m / n.
I ask: why remainder(12.5,5)=2.5 ?
According to me the result should be >>> remainder(12.5,5)=12.5-(5*[the integer nearest 12.5/5])=12.5-(5*3)=-2.5.
Thanks for your replies. Regards.

Actually X = [m/n] = floor(m / n), i.e. the integer nearest m/n rounded down.
So remainder(12.5, 5) = 12.5 - 5*2 = 2.5You sure about that?
SQL> select 12.6/5, floor(12.6/5) from dual;
    12.6/5 FLOOR(12.6/5)
      2.52             2
SQL> select 12.6-(5*2) from dual;
12.6-(5*2)
       2.6
SQL> select remainder(12.6,5) from dual;
REMAINDER(12.6,5)
             -2.4
SQL>Looks like the rounding is a little odd. Typically rounding goes upwards when it get's to .5 of a number, but remainder takes .5 downwards and anything above that upwards...
SQL> select remainder(12.50000000000001,5) from dual;
REMAINDER(12.50000000000001,5)
                          -2.5
SQL>It does seem a little odd behaviour.
Me, I just prefer using MOD(m,n), cos then I know what I'm getting. ;)

OCA certification(developer)

Hi,
I m new to Oracle
But i know the concepts of it and m willing to write OCA certification.
Can u please guide me in writing the exam like giving tips,etc

Hello,
if you want to get them legally you have to pay for it of course.
To get the OCA certificate you need to learn and pass the exam.
To get OCP you need to pass the exam, attend one of the approved courses and fill in an internet form.
OCM - even more sophisticated, hehe, two courses and master exam.
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141
We can't post you questions, 'cause it's forbidden - before the exam you sign a form on which there's written you won't tell the questions to anybody (you can loose certificate).
You can also get a trial exams. For example for 10gOCP:
http://www.transcender.com/product.aspx?product%5Fid=Cert%2D1Z0%2D043&
http://www.selftestsoftware.com/product.aspx?product%5Fid=1Z0%2D043&
You're lead there from oracle certifications site.
Sybex books are very good, BTW.
Cheers,
A.

OCA Online Certification Query

I want to give the 'SQL 11g Fundamentals I' online as a non-proctored exam and want to know about its authenticity from certification point of view. Is it ok to give this paper online? Or will i have to give another proctored exam for the same paper again later?

Or will i have to give another proctored exam for the same paper again later?From a certification point of view there is no difference, but online is open to abuse, however it in itself does not lead to a certification.
In general if people can get to a test center I think that is better; for reasons i have given in posts some way back i can't have time to seek out currently ( essentially no temptation to cheat, experience of test center for later more high value exams, no issues of distractions or connectivity issues that may be your fault). But those having to make a 400 mile trip to a test center would typically go for online.
