Oracle 11g database certification

Hi to all,
I am an Oracle database 10g OCA certified. I got my certification in 2008; Sadly, I was really busy with many projects during the last 2 years so No time to pass my OCP 10g database exam.
My question is ; is it better (in time, and money):
1- pass and upgrade my OCA 10g to OCA 11G and then pass my OCP 11G?
2- pass my OCP 10G database exam and then do the upgrade exam of OCP 11G?
Thanks a lot,

A few points:
1) There is a Certification forum that discusses exactly these questions;
2) There is no 'OCA Upgrade' exam, so the 11g OCA is a complete exam from scratch;
3) OCP 10g + OCP 11g(ug) is 2 exams, OCA 11g + OCP 11g is 2 exams so same price;
4) OCP 10g + OCP 11g(ug) is 2 'pro' certs, OCA 11g + OCP 11g is 1 'pro' cert.
However, the upgrade exam does stretch you into areas not normally seen by OCPs in practise. You end up being a guru, of sorts.

  • Oracle 11g Client Certification Matrix

    hi all,
    Can someone point me to Oracle 11g client certification matrix? I was trying to install it on Windows Server 2008R2, but looks like this platform is unsupported. If I manually verify the options the installer thinks are unsafe, will I create an unsupported environment?
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm looking for a certification matrix for oracle 11g database. I want to find out what OS's are supported by the different versions of 11g.
    I've checked the oracle website but I cannot find it. Is there a document anywhere?
    thanks,

    Hi;
    The best answer to check certification matrix which is avaliable at metalink. If you do not have metalink account than mention what is your OS, so we can look for you and can update issue here

  • Oca 11g database certification for application developer

    do i need oca 9i certification for getting 11g database certification for application developer not for DBA

    The problems start when people are imprecise about the certification they are seeking ... the list is here ....
    [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141]
    If you notice there is no mention of '11g oca' or '9i oca' in the list.
    There is mention of:
    - Oracle 11g DBA OCA
    - Oracle9i DBA OCA
    - Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA
    And one can drill down links to see the requirements for these certifcations:
    for example for a - Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA a pass in one of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051 (or 1z0-001) ) plus a pass in one of (1z0-144 or 1z0-147) is required.
    There is a post from mediaguy (that goes to a blog that is currently unavailable at the time of this post ... but will proably be fixed in a day or two) that I feel has a chance of being relevant also (note i have not read it yet). {thread:id=1049842}

  • What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

    I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
    My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
    So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
    Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
    I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
    So I want to ask these 2 questions :
    1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
    2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
    Thanks alot.

    I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
    As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

  • What are the privileges required for explain plan in Oracle 11g database

    I am facing the problem in doing a explain plan for a view in Oracle 11g database. When I select from the view like this:
    select * from zonewisearpu
    It does a select on the view but when I give explain plan like
    explain plan for
    select * from zonewisearpu
    I get the error like insufficient privileges.
    Please let me know if things are getting missed out as I guess system level privileges are required to execute this.
    I hope, my question is clear.
    It’s a humble request to revert urgently if possible as I need to complete a task and do not know the way out.
    Regards

    975148 wrote:
    Thanks for your reply. I have found out that an explain plan is possible on the user's own objects and is not possible on the granted objects from a different schema. For eg, if I do a explain plan on a view querying on tables from a different view, it would not allow the explain plan to proceed. This could mean that explain plan needs different privileges than just a select.
    Requesting for a revert to this.
    Here is a simple test case that I have perfomed
    SQL> create user test1 identified by test1;
    User created.
    SQL> create user test2 identified by test1;
    User created.
    SQL> grant connect, resource to test1,test2;
    Grant succeeded.
    SQL> create table test1.tab1 as select * from v$session;
    Table created.
    SQL> connect test2/test1
    Conencted.
    SQL> show user
    USER is "TEST2"
    SQL>
    SQL> explain plan for
      2  select sid,serial#,status,username from test1.tab1 where username<> '';
    Explained.
    SQL>
    So, as can be seen I am able to do a explain plan from user test2 for tables belong to user test1.
    As far as privileges are concerned, following is the list
    SQL> select * from dba_role_privs where grantee in ('TEST1','TEST2') order by 1;

  • How to monitor oracle 11g database sessions on Windows 2008 server?

    Hi Experts
    How to monitor the Oracle 11g database sessions on Windows 2008 server (other than SQL Developer tool), which procedure or query is taking more time with Java application.

    Recently i found this tool- myorasql on the net to monitor the performence of database, easy to setup and check the performence.  i never tested it but seems impresive.  It is free and i think it would be use ful to you.

    You can also use Quest - Toad or sqlplus if you are very good at sql commands and all dictionary tables or OEM/EM grid if it is configured .

  • Oracle 11g Database Configuration Assistant Hangs At 45% During 1st Install

    Platform: Windows Vista 64 Bit Version
    Downloaded: Oracle 11g Database 64 Bit
    Service Pack 1
    Greetings to all my Oracle Seniors. I have been attempting in vain to install the Oracle 11g database software package fully. I was able to complete the initial installation and made it to the second recommended action which was the Database Configuration Assistant operation. After 3 attempts, the progress bar stalled at 45%. I tried to look at the log file cfgtoologs (cloneDBCreation, and CloneRmanRestore), but it said that I didn't have permission. My pre-check cleared OK on everything. So, please direct me as to how to correct this issue.
    Thanks
    Preston
    System Integrator

    Well, that is not much of an option right now. I discovered that I have to reinstall the XP Pro OS after attempting the 11g installation 4 times and the install always stalled at 69% during the initial installation. I did have Windows Service Pack 3 installed on the system. I down graded and added 1 G of additional memory and checked the pre-check with no problem. But, the install continued to stall at 69%. So, and, yet, here we are.
    Now in regards to the metalink notes, I am new to the forum, so I don't know my way around quite yet. Isn't the metalink the paid suppport option? If so, I don't have that access.

    thx but how i can mask data with above give environment?What does "mask data" mean to you and what is the environment you are referring to?
    Telling us that you are using 11.1 helps. But it is far from a complete description of the environment. What edition of the database are you using? What options are installed? What Enterprise Manager packs are licensed? Is any of this changable? Could you license another option for the database or another pack for Enterprise Manager if that was necessary?
    What does it mean to you to "mask data"? Do you want to store the data on disk and then mask the data in the presentation layer when certain people query it (i.e. store the patient's social security number in the database but only present ***-**- and the last 4 digits to certain sets of employees)? Do you want to hide entire fields from certain people? Do you want to change the data stored in the database when you are refreshing a lower environment with production data? If so, do you need and/or want this process to be either determinisitic or reversable or both?

  • Is it possible to perform network data encryption between Oracle 11g databases without the advance security option?

    Is it possible to perform network data encryption between Oracle 11g databases without the advance security option?
    We are not licensed for the Oracle Advanced Security Option and I have been tasked to use Oracle Network Data Encryption in order to encryption network traffic between Oracle instances that reside on remote servers. From what I have read and my prior understanding this is not possible without ASO. Can someone confirm or disprove my research, thanks.

    Hi, Srini Chavali-Oracle
    As for http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/advanced-security/advanced-security-ds-12c-1898873.pdf?ssSourceSiteId… ASO is mentioned as TDE and Redacting Sensitive Data to Display. Network encryption is excluded.
    As for Network Encryption - Oracle FAQ (of course this is not Oracle official) "Since June 2013, Net Encryption is now licensed with Oracle Enterprise Edition and doesn't require Oracle Advanced Security Option." Could you clarify this? Thanks.

  • Oracle 11g database installation

    Hello,
    I just want to install the oracle 11g database system in my Archlinux. I've looked the wiki but it's a little bit old.
    So has someone tried these days installing it in Arch? How is it going? And the AUR script works?
    Another question is how mush size it will be when installed?
    Thanks!

    I have successfully installed Oracle 11g R2 using the instructions in the Dutch article on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Or … erlands%29 (Google translate is useful).
    I had an issue with the db console, but dropping and recreating the repository sorted that out: http://www.bestremotedba.com/how-to-dro … er-in-10g/

  • 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.
