Regards,
ManojI am confused to. 1z0-047 is an SQL exam.
In essence there is no time limiit, however all certifications will eventually be retired as they reach end of life.
Oracle will try to give 3 months notices of retirements ... from a practical point of view 10g DBA and 11g DBA certifications paths will very likely be good for more than a couple of years from now.

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.

Oracle DB11g OCA certification not yet recieved

Hi Xaheer,
Thanks for the response.
Address given is right. I have already received some communications from oracle like invoice in the same address.
its been more than 7 days i mailed '[email protected]'.
it would be better if i can know the status?
thanks,
IrshadAt the end of thread {thread:ID=2172277} Certification Forum Moderator indicated that there seems to have been a delay in success kits recently.
This probably results in ocp-fulfillment_ww being swamped with emails (I believe ocp fulfillment is in Delhi and I suspect they will feel like they are in the monsoon season deluged with emails from the rest of India).
Oracle could hire more poeple to answer the emails quicker and increase the exam costs.
It also happens they when Oracle says success kit shipped its likely most people think most people mean the success kit has been posted. I suspect it actually means an order has been placed to the printers/assemblers to generate a success kit (Letter, certificate, credit card); and it probably takes a little while for a batch to be assembled and sent out.
You are very close to the 6/8 week limit that Oracle Target for succss kit delivery, and most likely it will arrive in the next couple of weeks. However of course sometimes post goes missing. The Certification Forum Moderator will probably reply on a couple of days on this one.

Study material for Oracle 10g OCA certification

Hi every one.
My Name is Ash living in Edmonton Canada.
Currently, I am trying to prepare to take the OCA exam. My study material is "OCA 10g Administration 1 Study Guide by Chip DaWes, Bob Bryta, Joseph C.Johnson, Mathew Welshan". I am not sure if this is the right study material. Could any body please give me a feed back, how I can prepare for the exam? Also I would to know if there a local oracle group in Edmonton vicinity

Hello Ash,
I am also enrolled in an OCA course in the beginning of June 08, and I have used that, the Oracle Database 10g : Administration Workshop 1, and purchased the pass4sure CD.
I recommend against the pass4sure, only because the PDF's had some sort of security lock, and I was unable to open them, even though I legitimately purchased the product.
Good luck!
John

Oracle 10G OCA certification details?

Hi,
I would like to get the below details regarding 10g OCA?
1) Total papers to become an OCA?
2) wat are the papers ?
3) Cost of each papers ? (in $)
4) where can I find Dumps? If you friends can send me dumps at my gmail Id (nahar.navin@gmail ID)...
I am new to this forum, so any advise will help me. :)
Looking forward for help from you people.
Thanks in advance,
Navin

Asking for dumpsAnd remember that cheaters who are caught will lose their certification and perhaps lose their chance at any certification in the industry. Using Brain Dumps is considered cheating. Using Gunners is considered cheating. Passing an exam based on purely memorized material without understanding the material is as bad as cheating in the long run.

Oracle Database OCA Certification 11g or 12c ?

Hi Guys,
I'm Solaris System Engineer with around 10 yr of exp. , I wish to work as Oracle DBA. So, I've started learning SQL and Oracle.
I need your help to decide which certification version will be useful ?
Suggestion are welcome.
Thanks

My rule of thumb is the higher the better. So on that basis go for 12c rather than 11g. And your certification will remain active for longer.
However to get to DBA OCP level you will need to submit an approved authorised training course at some point. So its best to plan for that early. If you get your training paid for no problem. If you have to have cheap 11g WDP training nearby or you already have a course which is accepted for 11g then that is valid reasons to to go for 11g.
Anyway if you study for your SQL exam first it's not a decision you have to make right away.
The are my personal opinions only.
.... Its also worth mentioning the 1z0-0[56]3 exam for OCP is a lot about backups ..... and from your background to get into DBA work that could be a critical dealbreaker.
.... And its also worth mentioning one or two of the exams satisfying the 12c approved list are 2 day courses and therefore (relatively) cheaper.

Oracle9i/Oracle 10g OCA certification

I have worked on Oracle 9i database and i have basic knowledge about Sql commands and i am planning to go for Oracle 10g Certification does it make any difference if i do not take ORACLE 9i Certification and directly go on to do my Oracle 10g Certification .
Help Me

You are very much eligible for writing Oracle 10g OCP, even if you have experience in Oracle 9i. What you can do is, read the Oracle 10g New Features, and then you will have both Oracle 9i & 10g knowledge.
Best of luck.

Preperation for Oracle 10g OCA exams

Hi all,
I am interested in finding out what exam prep guides helped you out the most for Oracle 10g OCA certification exams. Also what test exams helped you out the most for the 10g OCA exams?
Got exams coming up next week, so please help!!!
Thanks!
null

Believe me, just for the certification sake you wanna be OCA?
I have come across of people who simply read test exam question, go to the testing centers and do pass the exams. What they really loosing here with this approch is that no confidence of their skills, not reading Oracle docs and testing the same, and when they face interview they had to find really some difficult question where there won't be any multiple choice list. This make the interviewrs or the concern person feeling that the OCA/P has really no strength.
I would rather keep myslef reading the docs and doing the R&D before I appear for the exam.
As you said, you don't want to spend much money for getting OCA, its like wasting your money completing an OCA, if you don't answer interviewer questions and didn't get the job.
I am not discouraging you, rather, trying to put you on some confidence ROAD.

Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

Hi all,
I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
Hope u guys answer me earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
That said, if it matters
- What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
- What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?

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).

How to get Oracle 11g OCA, OCM, OCP certification?

Hi,
This is my first post! Please pardon my ignorance. I want to get Oracle 11g OCA, OCM, OCP certifications done. How do I go about it? How much does it cost to get these certifications? Could you please suggest a website/url where I can get more information about it.
Thank you,
Tracy

The Oracle Certification Program site should answer your questions.
Assuming you are trying to get certified on the DBA track (there are many different certification tracks, I'm assuming when you say 11g that you mean to indicate that you're interested in the DBA track), you can see the progression of the exams and the options you have on this page.

Certification for Oracle AS10g OCA-OCP

To all,
Right now I am looking at review materials for taking up the exam for OCA, but I think the topics covered were for the older version of Oracle AS10g(9.0.4).
I noticed that there is a lot of difference, directory structure and log files between ver 9.0.4. and the latest version that OracleAS has. (i.e. OracleAS 10.1.3.1)
So would you recommend taking the the certification for OracleAS or wait until Oracle comes up with a latest exam that applies for the latest versions?
regards,
Anton

Hi Anton,
I have recently passed the OCA AS10g exam. I didn't find much difference in exam. Hope you are referring to OracleAS 10g OCA Exam Guide (by Sam Alapati).
BTW I didn't find any material for OCP AS10g, did you get something for that?
Regards,
Preet

Advice on Oracle DBA Associate (OCA) Certification

Hi, All
i'm a newbie to Oracle. I was given a task of passing Cetrtification Exam 1z0-042 for
Oracle DBA (OCA - Oracle Certified Associate)
which is the lowest certification level for an Oracle DBA.
My Q: what Edition of Oracle database should I use in my preparation for the Exam: Oracle Express Edition OR Oracle Standard (enterprise?) Edition?
I started to use E-learning materials from Oracle and I see that most of the examples are given referencing Oracle Enterprise manager, which is not the part of Oracle Express Edition [if i'm wrong pls correct me]
Thank you in advance for your help

For DBA learning, you'll want to use Enterprise Edition with all the bells and whistles (partitioning, RAC, bitmap indexes, you name it). Its free to download for this sort of purpose.
Check out www.dizwell.com for articles on installing Enterprise Edition (through VMWare or directly) on various platforms.

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.
