ORACLE 10G- 1Z0-042 PRACTISE TESTS

Hi All,
Does anyone know if pass-guarantee.com practise tests for Oracle 10g 1Z0-042 is a good preparation tool for the above exams?
If it is , why is Oracle not recommending them?
Surprisingly though I am told some of their questions appear verbatim on the real exams.
Why don't they accept any other method of payment other than Major Credit Cards?
Selftest software has still not yet released their OCA. That is why I am curious to find other good vendors.2005 is soon comming to an end.
Thanks

I had a quick look at the site of pass-guarantee.com and I have to say that I'd rather throw my money into the sewer than spending one penny with them. What a lousy website. No matter how good there exams might be - if the storefront looks as bad as this I run, not walk, away.

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 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.

exam is very easy if u r fully prepared and have some real exp as a oracle dba(1-2 yr).

Preperation for 1Z0-042 exam

Hi,
Recently i cleared my first exam 1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals ... now i am trying to study for 1Z0-042 (Oracle Database 10g: Administration I ) , so just wanted to know if this book from sybex i.e. (OCP: Oracle 10g Certification Kit (1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043)) good enough to prepare for the exam, refer to below url
[http://www.amazon.com/OCP-Oracle-Certification-1Z0-042-1Z0-043/dp/0782143695#noop|Book at Amazon site ]
or is there any other better book ... as far as my exp. with oracle goes, i have very basic admin knowledge of Oracle , but on the job i am learning these days more n more, so thinking to learn more and attempt for certification.
Please suggest me a good book for 1Z0-042 & 1Z0-043

Hi Biddleboy,
Thanks for the url, i read the same completely. Although i appreciate this guy's honesty in expressing his views but unfortunately he does not talk much on especially which book he exactly referred. He did mention one of the technique which he used i.e. Flash cards creation
So appreciate if you or someone could guide me on the book for 1Z0-042 and 1Z0-043
Regards
LearnerI personally thought the statement in that post:
The various prep guides were a mixed bag. The Sybex one was reasonably good and was my main guide, with the Oracle as a supplement. Indicated he used the Sybex book as a main guide with the Oracle (Press) one as a supplement. Reasonably clear. The other interesting concept is to in fact use both. (ISBN-13: 978-0782143676 + ISBN-13: 978-0072257908 )Are you sure of these isbn numbers, i tried searching on amazon and came with diff. isbn no.
You have specified : ISBN-13: 978-0782143676
where as i found ISBN - 0-7821-4367-9 ( first & the last digit differs )

Help needed Reg: 1Z0-042 certification Exam in Chennai

Hi I am in Chennai, want to give certification exam for 10g 1z0-042. I enquired at many training centers like NIIT, SQL Star Plus etc for Study material and sample questions. But there is no such service they are offering. Can anyone please help me regarding this.

Running VB6 on Itanium Server to Connect Oracle 10g workaround

Hello, It might help someother in the future, so I am writting it here. It took our one week to find that walkaround solution.
Platform:
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Itanium + Oracle 10g R2 Itanium Server
Code written in Visual Basic 6.0 + VC++6.0 (MFC, heavily ATL)
Database access are done thru OLE DB.
Problem:
32 bit applications are not able to connect to Oracle 10g. A vbs test application can connect to 64 bit oracle itanium server, but the same code in vb6 cannot connect to oracle.
Error message is -> 'Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.'
We found that means an 32 bit application cannot access to 64 bit oracle data providers for ole db!
Solution:
We have installed 32 bit Oracle 8.1.7 client on Itanium server. And We have created TNS definitions within Oracle 8.1.7 oracle\network\admin directory manually (you have to do that by hand) when we run TNSPING <OUR-TNS> it started to work.
Out vb6 test application started to run correctly after these.
I hope this will help somebody, since nobody helped us to save time.

The essbase server name is ts119licalnn, it is shown under essbase servers in EAS.
By not using the default Essbase node 'EssbaseCluster-1', it has revealed the port number EAS uses to connect to essbase, in this instance, 1443.
The problem was that I did not have the correct port number, is there an easier way of finding the correct port number?
Cheers,

Preparation for Oracle 10g OCA and OCP exams

Hi all,
I am studying for my first Oracle 10g OCA exam. Thus far, I have the Transcender exam prep software and book from Oracle Press for the OCA/OCP exams with Oracle 10g. With a test Oracle 10g database to practice on while I study, am I on the right path?
Thanks

Use the http://education.oracle.com OR http://otn.oracle.com as your portal - you'll see the Certification link on either one. From the Certification page you will be able to drill down to the objectives and requirements of the exam. I suggest you use that as a checklist, as the various books and sample exams have been known to include mistakes or miss items.
In addition, you should be familiar with the first few chapters of the Oracle Concepts manual and also, preferably, the first few chapters of the DB Admin Guide - both available from http://tahiti.oracle.com
A great motto while learning is "trust no one - verify everything"

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.

Oracle prescribes their own training! However one assumes they have some endorsement of Oracle Press Book (ISBN-13: 978-0072257908). (Oracle Database 10g OCP Certification All-In-One Exam Guide (Osborne Oracle Press Series) (Paperback)). Remember the topics have changed slightly since this was printed. There is a Sybex book as well, searching this forum will find it (if you cant find it question yourself if you should be studying for exam), or a reputablable online seller eg amazon.
