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.

How do I migrate views from MS SQL 2008 to Oracle 11g through SQL Developer

Is there any way to migrate the views from MS SQL 2008 to Oracle 11g through SQL Developer? Please give me some detail steps. Thanks for your help.

Hi Turloch,
When I use migrate to oracle, I got a problem, the migrate tool create a new schema for me in my case (AZTECA_KSMMS), it migrates all the stuffs under that schema (AZTECA_KSMMS). However my application need the all the Oracle data under schema AZTECA instead of AZTECA_KSMMS. Is there any way to specify specific schema (AZTECA) for target oracle database? Schema remapping is available:
First Capture (separately) then during right click convert on the captured model there is a Specify the conversion options with a Object Naming tab where the schema (and other) name changes are editable.
I have not used this recently.
Also during the migration process, when I choose repository, there is a check box for truncate to reset repository to empty state, Do I need to check that truncate Check Box so the repository will be cleared from last migration?The repository can hold multple migration attempts. Check truncate to get rid of previous attempts information. This cleans up the repository - not the destination database.
There are also online database and offline database options during the migration process, what are the difference between these two choices? After I migrated to Oracle, all my views has a red cross icon next to it. Does that mean the view migration is failed or not? Please give me your comments. Thanks for your help.offline: for big (amount of data) databases with simple data types,
uses bcp + files + scripts + sqlldr.
online: for small (amount of data) databases (easier),
uses (Java) jdbc.
The view is likely to be broken - recompiling it may help.
The Oracle schema is created using a .sql file - see under generated in the directory you gave originally in the wizard. There is a .out file that contains the result of running this script including any errors. During conversion there are also likely to be warnings displayed on the UI.
There may be a single issue that is causing multiple issues - if viewa depends on functionb, and functionb is broken, viewa will also fail.

DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g with SQL Developer 3.0

Hi,
I started migrating my DB2 8.1 to Oracle 11g, with SQL Developer 3.0
Basically, I need to migrate TABLES.
I followed these steps:
1) I created a new Oracle database, tablespaces, users, etc.
2) Then, I created both (DB2 and Oracle) connections into SQL Developer 3.0. All works fine.
3) I start capturing one table with the "Copy to Oracle" feature. Done with no errors.
But when I compare the table structure, I see the following problems in Oracle:
a) All fields are NULLABLE = YES. SQL Developer show this field property correctly in DB2: NULLABLE = NO, but not migrated the same!
SOLUTION: All I want is that SQL Developer simply migrating the same value who I have in the DB2. But how?
b) In DB2 I have one field property called COLUM DEFAULT. In Oracle this property is called DATA_DEFAULT. The SQL Developer show this field property correctly for the DB2 tables (for example: 0.0, ' ', etc), but don't migrated the same value! All fields are configured to DATA_DEFAULT = NULL.
SOLUTION: I think this occurs because NULLABLE is migrated with the value YES. Well, all I need is the same above...
NOTE: I tested the SWISSQL DATA MIGRATION software, and it works fine. All tables, field properties and data are migrated sucessfull. But this program is trial version!
Well, I think all of this are BUGS into SQL Developer.
Please, anyone to help me?
Regards,
Ylram

You listed a bunch of things but you didn't say what steps you actually performed and what the result was.
Did you 'Compile'the procedure? until you compile the procedure you can't debug it.
I just created a new procedure and when I select the body it displays in the 'Code' window on the right. But the 'Debug' icon is not enabled because the procedure was not compiled for debug.
When I compile it for debug the 'Debug' icon is now enabled.

Regarding 11g OCA and OCP exams

Hi,
I have 10g OCA. Now i am planning to write 11g OCA and OCP. Do i need to write 11g OCA or can i upgrade my 10g OCA to 11g.
Can any one please let me know how to prepare for 11g OCA and OCP. any web links or any text books do i need to follow in order to get good score in both certifications

There is no upgrade path for the OCA certification. You'd need to take the 11g OCA exams. Assuming we're talking about the DBA track (there are many different tracks), you should have passed one of the SQL exams when you got your 10g OCA so you probably only need to take one more exam for the 11g OCA.
All of Oracle's documentation is online at http://tahiti.oracle.com. You should be able to find more than enough information about all the exam topics there.

Error connecting oracle 11g through SQL Developer

i am using SQL Developer to connect to oracle 11g which is installed to another machine in same network
means i am using a client machine to get connected to oracle installed to host machine through SQL Developer
iam getting this error
network adapter could not establish the connection

iam not understanding what is problem
please somebody help

I would say it's vendor code 17002 (not 170002). And such a message is thrown by SQL Developer , unfortunately very generic for any kind of connection problems.
Start sqlplus and try to connect, very likely you get a better error message.
Recently I had such a connection problem and the reason was - No Listener.

How to connect from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
Is it possible to connect from Oracle 11g on AIX to SQL Server 2008 R2? If so, what is the preferred method?
SQL Server has the original table. From Oracle 11g, we want to access data which is in SQL Server real time.

The Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL) needs a separate license but the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) is included in your RDBMS license. You only need to provide the third party ODBC driver needed by DG4ODBC.

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"

Oracle 11g OLAP & SQL

Hi All
Our company is in the process of doing a POC warehouse where we are using Oracle OLAP extensively for summary management. I have been tasked with porting all our existing reports (Cognos) from using an Informix backend to start using Oracle. The OLAP team has created some cube views for me but Im struggling to get my around how Im going to use them for reporting purposes.
Example
1) Im using the following sql (abbreviated) to get my data:
select
v_product.product_description.
v_product.level_name,
v_sales.sales,
v_sales.calc_measure
from v_product, v_sales, v_location, v_time
where ... all the joins....
v_product.level_name in ('DEPARTMENT', 'CLASS')
and v_location.level_name = 'TOTAL'
and v_time.level_name = 'TOTAL'
2) This brings back data that looks like:
product_description level_name sales calc_measure
MEAT DEPARTMENT 232323 23.56
POULTRY DEPARTMENT 43444 35.23
BEEF CLASS 232323 23.56
CHICKEN CLASS 67455 35.23
LAMB CLASS 73444 23.56
PORK CLASS 55555 35.23
3) I need to create a list report thats grouped by department and for each department shows all the classes but off the data above is very difficult. I cannot just select the all the class values and then do the aggregation in the report as there is a calculated measure so I need to select the value for that level from the cube view. Is it possible in one sql statement or will I need more?
Thanks for any ideas

Dave thanks for your reply. Please excuse my poor example this was my first day using cube views and I cannot login to my work setup from home so going by memory alone.
To answer your question
1. We are using 11g AW
2. I don't remember the exact cube view names but not relevant to my question (I think)
3. Alas the oracle forums don't support much formatting else I would have provided an ascii example. I have uploaded the sample report output here http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/angusgoosemiller/sample.gif
Better Example
1. From what I can gather if your query more that one level in the same dimension from a cube view you get the results denormalized as rows. So effectively for my report I what the department and class levels from the product hierarchy where class is a child of department and some relevant measures one of which is a calculated measure. If I select this from the cube view I am getting results in the form:
DEPARTMENT LEVEL ... row values
DEPARTMENT LEVEL ... row values
CLASS LEVEL ... row values
CLASS LEVEL ... row values
2) My report is a list report that is grouped by department and for each department all the class records are displayed with the measures. There must also be a department total for every department level and a grand total for the report. If the calculated measure was not included I could just return all the class records as the there is a department attribute defined that is also in the cube view and calculate all the department values dynamically in the report. However due to the calculated measure and probably as a best practice from a performance/redundancy perspective I only want to select from the cube view in its aggregated form like is currently happening.
3) From a report design perspective this provides some challenges as relationally hierarchy levels are normally modeled as columns and we use to process calculated measures dynamically in the report. Going forward we would like all the calculations etc happening in the OLAP engine.
4) So basically the way I see it I need the following from the cube:
4.1) The department records
4.2) The class records
4.3) the department total records
4.4) the grand total record for all departments
Can I get that in one SQL statement in such a manner that I can produce a report? How would an oracle based reporting solution get the data, via sql or directly from the cube via the olap api.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate any advice!
Cheers
Angus

SSMA Console - Migrating Oracle 11g to SQL 2012

Hi there!
I have two questions related to migrating data from Oracle to SQL.
1) I have an Oracle database with several schemas. At the time of the connection SSMA loads all objects for all schemas presented in Oracle, which takes 1 hour to finish. Is there a way at the time of the connection to limit it to load only
the schema I want to work?
2) In case I want to extract, for example, 2 tables only. How do I prepare the script below to accept another table name?
I tried using a comma and repeating the command "$OracleSchemaName$.MySecondTable" but, didn't work.
<migrate-data object-name="$OracleSchemaName$.MyFirstTable"
                  object-type="Tables"
                  write-summary-report-to="$SummaryReports$"
                  report-errors="true"
                  verbose="true" />
Thanks.
Marcio

Hi Malisaqin:
Thanks for replying.
I've been through all articles related with SSMA but couldn't find any explanation for my questions.
For my second question I had to repeat the same node for as many tables I have. I'm still doing some tests with another variations to see if I can get it working.
The link you sent is about using the UI and not the Console application.
Thanks,

If the database has force logging on, will SQL Loader in direct mode bypass the writing of redo logs ?
Is there a way to run SQL Loader in direct mode that will create redo logs that can be applied by Data Guard to the backup database ?

Studying for Oracle 11g Performance and Tuning exam - 1Z0-054

Hello all,
I want to attend to this exam and I'm looking for interesting and usefull studying path. Sure manuals on tahiti are needed.
Neither sefltestsoftware not Testking has released a proficiency test for this exam. I was only able to find a test from Braindumps here (http://www.exam4test.net/1Z1-054) but not sure this is a serious material.
Any hints about this material and / or any other suggestions?
Thanks
Stefano

Hi Stefano
Seems that our friends from Certguard aren't sure that this a legal provider, but the look and feel would say to avoid that site.
Try the http://www.certguard.com/braindump-quiz.asp it matches very well to the site or?
Besides that while looking on the domain i found that
Domains being linked from exam4test.com
* Traffic rank 252963. test-inside.com
* Traffic rank 940584. exam4test.net
and those sites aren't clean.

Role default

Can any one help me to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance

Those parameters probably aren't correct.
Is that 11g on your machine? Try to specify the real IP instead. And sure the listener is up?
Also sure about the SID and port?
Hope that helps,
