Oracle 12c guides

Respected Associates and Professionals
I am OCP 11g with working experience as DBA and Trainer, I want to go now to 12c database. However I am looking for materials (guides) that I can learn Oracle Database 12c from the scratch despite of my well understanding of 11g. I m very excited about features such multitenant architecture, I want to be very confident when I start attending my clients. Plz advice me
Regards. Sadock

Third-party 12c books will start appearing rapidly over the next few months. Oracle has already started putting out whitepapers and other technical docs on it that are available at the Oracle Learning Library and OTN. As I find these, I link to those that are relevant to certification exams from my website. Currently only the 1Z0-062 exam has much material there, but I will soon start adding links for 1Z0-060 and 1Z0-063.

Same SQLs different in two versions of Oracle 12c RDF Developer's Guide

There are two versions of Oracle 12c RDF Developer's Guide, one has the SQL insert as
INSERT INTO articles_rdf_data VALUES (2,
SDO_RDF_TRIPLE_S ('articles','http://nature.example.com/Article1',
'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator',
'Jane Smith'));
the other one has the change highlighted:
INSERT INTO articles_rdf_data VALUES (2,
SDO_RDF_TRIPLE_S ('articles','<http://nature.example.com/Article1>',
'<http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator>',
'"Jane Smith"'));
Which one is correct?
Thanks.

The second one is correct. It is from the latest version of the user guide.

Errors in 1z0-051 and 1z0-061 Official Oracle exam guides

What can we do about errors in the official Oracle exam guides.
I am doing the 1z0-061 (Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals).
The 051 and 061 exams are exactly the same.
051 is written by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass and the 061 is written by Ramklass, but the thing is, both books have the same content word for word.
I found these errors in the books:
(1.) In chapter 08 (Using subqueries to solve problems) in both books it says "A subquery can be used to select rows for insertion but not in a VALUES clause of an INSERT statement".
But this is wrong. You CAN use a subquery in a VALUES clause: This will work ->
INSERT INTO values_test (f1) VALUES ((SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL));
However you have to have the 2 brackets in red.
(2.)
Chapter 2: Self test question 9
The following character literal expression is selected from the DUAL table: SELECT 'Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring' FROM DUAL; (Choose the result that is returned.)
A. An error would be returned due to the presence of two adjacent quotes
B. Coda's favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
C. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
D. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring'
The books says the correct answer is B. But this is wrong.
Correct answer is C, since the "" are 2 double quotes and they will appear as it is.
Even if "", is actually 4 single quotes the output then will be Coda''s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
which has 2 single quotes.
I wrote to the author (emai [email protected]) but got no reply.
How can we let Oracle certification know that there are errors in these books. This can affect the exam and can mean the difference between passing and failing.

>The book cover says "Oracle Press", meaning Official Oracle.
No -- the name does not mean that. 'Oracle Press' is a division of the McGraw-Hill publishing company that specializes in writing books for the Oracle suite of products. Oracle has close ties with the publisher and often supplies information to the authors that is not publicly available. However, Oracle is not responsible for the content of the books.
>If not, then what ARE the Official Oracle guides?
The only thing that you could call an 'Official' Oracle guide would be student guides developed by Oracle University for one of their courses. This content is supplied to attendees of the courses. The material is copyrighted and should not be available on the Web.

Maximum number of services for Oracle 12c

can someone please give me a hint where I can find the limitations for number of services on Oracle 12c?
In the reference guide I found: maximum number of services per instance = 115
But that cannot be true because you can have up to 252 pluggable databases per database and each one is associated with a dedicated service.
If done some trials and currently I'm at 556 services. But I cannot find a document with the exact maximum.

Hi Friend,
Two Types containers are available in Oracle Database 12c
1. The ROOT container - - > This is first container and mandatory container.
2. Pluggable Database Container - - - > This is the container for application
So, Limit is - - > 253 PDBs in a One Container Database (CDB) it includes the SEED also and Services are 512 in a Container Database (CDB).
Check the following query to know the number of services
Select name, pdb from cdb_services;
Hope it helps...
Thanks

Scott schema not included in Oracle 12c?

I just downloaded Oracle 12c however I noticed that there's no scott.sql in the oracle directories.. (/rdbms/admin/scott.sql)
Tried downloading scott.sql and add but it wasn't added successfully as I checked for scott username from dba_users as said in this guide: Oracle Training - Oracle Video Tutorial | Installing the SCOTT schema | Oracle Tutorials - YouTube
Is there anyway to add it?
I also needed the other tables EMP, DEPT, etc.. for my final project.
Thank you!

That is not an official Oracle video, so the content is questionable.
I have not installed 12c personally, but this link may be helpful - Contents

What is the best source to learn and advice to get Oracle 12c (OCA) certificate???

Hi there,
I hope all are running good.
Actually, I'm a new in a Oracle career but I know all concepts of Databases and SQL.
I'm planning to take a Oracle 12c (1Z0-061) (SQL Fundamentals) exam to achieve 12c OCA certificate but I'm bit confused in what source is best to learn it by self and what are tips to pass those all exam to lead me OCA certificate. Please, kindly provide your valuable opinions. Look forward to hearing your replies.
Thanks

The Oracle Press exam guide for 1Z0-061 is written, though of course there is all sorts of production stuff still to go. The 1Z0-062 guide (a lot longer!) is done except for the last two chapters. So both should be out in the near future. I know this because my buddy Roopesh is writing 1Z0-061, and I'm writing 1Z0-062. Bob Bryla's 1Z0-063 guide is bit later, the exam isn't in beta yet.
As Philippe says, the OCA is not simple this time. Of course I can't reveal the exam content, but I think I can say that Oracle Uni is raising the standard with 12c .

Could you please help on this? How to start the work on oracle 12c database as I have worked on Oracle 11g with the SCOTT user and connection name ORCL.It was working fine. But SCOTT user is not present in 12c. Is there any other USER in 12c with the default tables like EMP table in 11g in the SCOTT USER schema?
Please suggest, what to do?
Thanks In Advance!!

ORACLE 12c RAC installation

Hello ,
I'm trying to install oracle 12c cluster.
I have a question about OCR and VOTING disks
which Disk is shared and which one is local ?
if both of them are shared, which ASM DG is created by Grid installer ? OCR or Voting ! and how to store both of Voting and OCR on sperated ASM disk groups.
regards , Dia

OCR and Voting disks are shared.
You may put them on a separate DG (my preferences) or on one DG with data.
This may be helpful -- https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/CWSOL/storage.htm#CWSOL0003, https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/CWLIN/storage.htm, Oracle 12c RAC On your laptop Step by Step Implementation Guide 1.0, ORACLE-BASE - Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1) RAC On Oracle Linux 6 Using VirtualBox.

Oracle 12c workspace creation

Hi all!
How can I create APEX workspace referencing to local user (Oracle 12c)? APEX_040200, ANONYMOUS, XDB, APEX_PUBLIC_USER is comon users by default, but HR and so on are local. What should i do?

Hi Andrey,
To assist in resolving your issue, could you please provide some additional information in relation to your installation. As part of your 12c configuration, and with APEX 4.2 installed in your container database, how have you configured your new pluggable database (PDB) i.e. using EPG or APEX Listener or Oracle HTTP Server, as outlined in the 4.2. Installation Guide for 12c? The reason I ask is because, if you're using EPG, for example, each PDB will have a distinct port number and you'd need to ensure that the URL you're using to access the APEX Administration Services is the correct one.
My colleague, Jason Straub, has posted a number of blog postings relating to APEX and 12c, as well as a link to a chapter in the Installation Guide for 4.2 with 12c, which you might find helpful.
Regards,
Hilary

Need Oracle 12c whitepaper recommendation for upgrade assessment

Hi: Good morning!
This is not an urgent request, but appreciate your recommendation! I need documents about Oracle 12c (our os is IBM AIX power system, 6.1, 64 bit), because we are planning upgrade current oracle database 11.2.0.4 to 12c, we need a thorough assessment to 12c since 12c introduced many innovative, new features, major component changes, as well as impact to java application. The document I have so far is-
1. database upgrade guide
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/preup.htm#UPGRD002
2. Deprecated API (oracle database JDBC Java API Reference)
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/JAJDB/deprecated-list.html
3. Tom Kytes Top 12 new features for Oracle 12c (from web).
There are many things to look for. I want to know the major things I should focus in new features & impact to java application.
what document can provide me the info!
thank you very much in advance!

Hi all:
Can anyone gives me advice after upgrade from 11.2.0.4 database to 12c database, which 'core-DB new features' impact to Java application more, and that we should focus on assessment?
There are too many new & innovative features introduced in 12c. Should I convert our single instance database (on non-cluster server) to 'CDB/PDB' during upgrade? Is it a 'Must-to-do' or not? We have a physical standby DB, how to do with the standby?
Oracle Documents I reviewed are: 'Oracle 12c database document', 'Oracle 12c Java Developer's Guide'. I recommend this to our developers based on 'Oracle 12c Java Developer's Guide':
Oracle JVM ( JDK6, JDK7 support in 12)
[note:need to check jvm components for application: library manager, compiler, interpreter, class loader, server-side JDBC internal driver, server-side SQLJ, translator, system classes; Java stored procedure, SQLJ, JDBC, etc]
2. Oracle Memory Space management      (         garbage collection)
3. Multithreading
4. Footprinting
5. Dynamic class loading
6. JNDI class support
7. Auditing for Java ( alert/execute/audit/grant is enabled in auditing)
8. Support for logging
9. Support for customizing default java.security resource
10. Improved for debugging
However, I may lost myself in core-DB new features for:
1. advanced analytics features
2. OLAP features
3. Partitioning enhance
4. Performance for zero effort
5. Compression and Archiving features (depends on application tables design)
6. Database Overall
   - Integrate With Operating System Processor Groups
   - Oracle Data Pump Support
   - Multitenant Architecture (Not sure)
   - PDBs Backup and Recovery (Not sure)
   - PDBs Point-in-Time Recovery (Not sure)
   - PDBs Resource Plans (Not sure)
   - Utilities
7. High Availability
   - Application Continuity
   - Transaction Guard
   - Logical Replication
   - Global Data Services
   - Online Operations
   - Oracle Data Guard Enhancements (Depends on our standby design)
8. Manageability
   - PGA Size Limit
   - Resource Manager Runaway Query Management
   - Spot ADDM
9. General
   - DBMS_QOPATCH
10. Performance
11. Security enhance
12. Improve Security Manageability, Administration and Integration
    - Database vault
Is my above suggestion (text in red-color) correct?
Thank you very much!

Connect as: normal with Oracle 12c and Toad 12 FAILS.

Connect as: normal with Oracle 12c and Toad 12 FAILS.
I've been looked at forums, blogs and wikies but I couldn't found why my new user, that I created before, can't connect as NORMAL but as SYSDBA it can.
I don't know why this occurs.
My intention is create a user/schema in a local DB to have my own db.
I can create a new user but when I go to connect to this new schema I only connect as SYSDBA, this is a big trouble because I can "see" object's DBA and I don't want this, I want create my own new schema db and not share name's object or name's tables with DBA.
For example, object JOB exists as SYSDBA and I can't create a new table with this name.
Please, help me.
Thanks very much for read me.
