Oracle 8i or 9i Certification

Hi people,
I want to become OCP however I am not sure wether to invest in books baout 9i or stick to the books I have for 8i. For the OCP 4 modules need to be taken with SQL being the first one.
Could you please let me know if there is any difference between the SQL for 9i and 8i ? and if there is any difference between the 8i and 9i modules needed to become OCP ?
Thanks

There's a big difference between the 8i and 9i exams. The 8i are all multiple choice exams, and so is the 9i OCP upgrade. The pure 9i exams include "proctored" exams, i.e. hands-on demonstrations of competency are required, instead of just memorising answers. I think this makes the 9i certification more valuable, but it may make it harder to pass - it certainly cannot be finessed through exam technique.
As for your first question: I think anybody who can't find out the differences between 8i and 9i SQL for themselves ought to be barred from taking a cycling proficiency certificate, let alone an Oracle one. :P
Good luck, APC

Oracle WebLogic Portal 10g Certification

Hello,
Oracle provides instructor led training only for Oracle WebLogic Portal 10g. I'm wondering, where can i buy self study CD or kit for Oracle WebLogic Portal 10g Certification?
Thanks

Hello,
I have found certification for "Oracle Weblogic Portal 10g Developer" in the oracle university site. The latest version of BEA weblogic being 10.3 and we are currently working on the same, I would like to know whether there is certification exam for Weblogic Portal 10.3 Developer.A assume you have found:

Which is the relevant exam. You can double change by going down the list of ceriifcation exams:
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=42]
My understanding is that for developers often releases are broadly similar and therefore the effort in updating the exam is simply unsustainable. For say Oracle DBA exams the situation may be different as their may be signifcant changes/enhancements between releases that are important to be aware of to manager the database effectively.
Please be aware I am not massively familiar with weblogic and myy anwer is not authorative.

What is the validity of Oracle SQL 1ZO-007 certification?

Hi,
I have done Oracle SQL 1ZO-007 certification in May 2006. However, I could not write the next level, PL/SQL 1ZO-047. Now I am planning to write it.
My doubt is whether my SQL certification is till valid so that upon clearing 1ZO-047 I can get OCA.
Also, is there an alternate way of getting developer's path OCA.
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Natraj

Don't worry. Its valid for ever
And please post your Certification related questions in Certification topic. May be there you can find more information

Source for oracle 9i Forms developer certification

Hi,
Someone told me that oracle 10g & 11 g are mainly for those interested in database administration. But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
Thanks & regards

Hi,
Someone told me that oracle 10g & 11 g are mainly for those interested in database administration. Wrong.
I could write an essay, but some of my views are:
I am sure the Oracle would regard databases Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g as later versions of the Oracle Database that are generally upwards compatible with 9i but also with newer and better features.
Because there are significant(ish) adminstration differences in these database versions there is emphasis of these database administration certifications.
On the developer size yes PL/SQL has also improved, but the requirement for a newer certifiaction exam (at OCP level) was perhaps not quite so pressing:
This seems to be addressed version of the pl/sql exam, 1z0-144 (in beta), but from history even after 1z0-144 is fully released most forums vistors will go for 1z0-147 rather than 1z0-144 (see 1z0-007 versus 1z0-051 posts).
Also note that newer tools versions may not be closely coupled to newer database versions.
But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
I suspect from a developers point of view oracle 9i forms developer is so similar to oracle 10g forms developer there is not much need/demand for a oracle 10g forms developer certification. (I would expect more emphasis to be put on producing an application express certifiaction anyway)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
Not impossible but hard.
Oracle Recommended course woudl be: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getlppage?page_id=212&path=FMDT]
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
- And courses:
- Oracle have some self study CDROMs : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getSearchResults?p_output_style=T&p_search_category_id=1278&p_search_format=2]
- There may be some fair/good courses arround. In india I think, butt am not sure, sql_star are an authorised partner and give forms training. Beware of unauthorised training.
- In terms of books
There are probably more bad forms books than good ones, and most are going out of print (consider second hand). Some sites like amazon have reviews.
- Websites:
- If you see or are given any websites at a miinimum check the URL through [http://www.certguard.com]
- The one site I know of is [http://www.iselfschooling.com]. Its not got a RED at certguard, and its not got a full green either. Theres a few lessons you can get for free. For learning forms definitely no problems. If going straight for a certification then may be bad. But I believe its more training orientated than dump orientated and I believe their using original materials (if anyone knows different please let me know and certguard know and I'm have for this post to be edited or deleted).

Being good in Excel probably won't help much in the Oracle database domain IMO . How did you come to the decision that you want to do an OCP (DBA?) ? If that's taken because someone said that DBA job is a very cool job , well, than you should give a serious reconsideration because choosing something just because someone else is saying is good probably won't be something that you would be able to pull for a long duration. Anyways, the best bet would be to attend a SQL course and see if you do understand it and using it, how well you interact with the database. My suggestion would be to do the SQL course and then opt for the Financial application courses from Oracle which probably would suit better for your profile than opting for OCP/OCA. The choice , of course remains with you. Have a read of the Concepts guide at http://tahiti.oracle.com as well.

Oracle 11i System Administrator Certification

Hi,
Please advice which book or pdf doc would be appropriate for "Oracle 11i System Administrator Certification"?
Please also advice if any question bank for practice.
ANy experience sharing would be great.
Thanks

Both Transcender and SelfTestSoftware are the official and authorized providers of certification practice exams. If you could not find any practice material in their websites you can use "Oracle 11i System Administrator Fundamentals for 11i10 Self Study CD Course (Netg Oracle)" as an alternative. Self-Study CD-ROMs are an excellent tool to help you prepare for your exam. SSCDs reinforce the course material and allow you to focus on sections that you need to review. Note: the SSCDs do not count towards your course requirements for certification and should be used as a study aid only.

Oracle E-Business Suite Certification on Linux x86-64

Hello all,
I have some questions about certification for Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 on Linux x86-64.
I have two 64-bit servers and intend to do a split configuration.
From the certification (Certify/View Certifications by Product/E-Business Suite/E-Business Suite 11i and Earlier/Platform Selection: Database Tier Only) I understand the following:
I must have the Application Tier running on Linux-x86 and the Database Tier may be either on Linux-x86 or Linux-x86-64.
Is this correct?
Should I install RHES4 for 32bit on the Application Server and RHES4 for 64bit on de Database Server?
or
Should I install RHES4 for 64bit on both servers and install the 32bit Applications software on the Application Server?
How should I ask for the software I need? From the E-Delivery web site I don't have the 64bit option for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2.
Is EBS allways for 32bit no matter the OS ?
Thank you very much.
Catalina.

I must have the Application Tier running on Linux-x86

Linux-x86-64.

or

Application Server?
Re: Oracle Application 11.5.10.2 installation on Linux AMD 64
How should I ask for the software I need? From the
E-Delivery web site I don't have the 64bit option for
Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2.
Is EBS allways for 32bit no matter the OS ?It is always 32-bit but it could comes in 64-bit for the database part. You would find such a media for Solaris for example "Oracle® Applications 11i Release 10.2 for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 32-bit) with Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit) Oracle® Database" but not for Linux Intel 64-bit.
Just get the media for Linux x86, install it, then consider having Oracle 10g 64-bit on the database tier.

Oracle 11g , Administrator OCM certification

Hi,
I have completed OCP certification in the developers track by clearing in the following exams : 1Z0-007 , 1Z0-147 and 1Z0-146.
I wish to become an OCM in DBA track for Oracle 11g.
Going by the steps mentioned in the Oracle certification website, I saw that the path to become an OCM would be as :
1> OCA : Clearing 1Z0-007 / 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 exams.
2> OCP : Clearing a certified hands on course followed by clearing 1Z0-053 exam and submitting a form as proof of clearing hands on training.
3> OCM : Clearing 2 of the certified courses , appearing for the OCM exam , submitting a form as proof for clearing the certified courses and submitting the required application kit.
Since, I have already cleared the exam 1Z0-007 , do I have to clear it again as part of becoming an OCA or will the previous clearing of this exam suffice ?
also , do I have to clear 1Z0-051 exam.
Please note , I have cleared 1Z0-007 around February 2010.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Haider

...I saw that the path to become an OCM would be as...The steps you have listed are correct.
Since, I have already cleared the exam 1Z0-007 , do I have to clear it again...No, the one exam will serve for both certification tracks. Exam results do not expire.

Oracle 9i Or 10G Certification

Hi,
I am a Associate Software QA Engineer who is doing QA in
DataWare housing tool. I get the exposure to Oracle8i,9i,10g. But it is not extensive DBA exposure, It is more of testers exposure. But I like to move in to DBA track. Which certification path should I choose. I have already studied for SQL exam paper (Oracle9i). But ,since Oracle 10G is around the corner, I am Confused what to choose ? Please give your advice.
Yours,
Rasika Karunathilaka

If you want to save money, there is a work around. The class for example will cost at least $1500 if you are in the United States. You may want to get certified in Oracle 8i (5 exams) and go on an upgrade path to 9i(1 exam) and 10g (1 exam). A total of 7 exams will cost you $875 in the United States. If you want to get certified in 9i and then take the upgrade path to 10g it will cost you $500 + $1500 + $125 = $2125 in the United States. Note that Oracle is retiring 8i exams at the end of this year.

Oracle 10g OCI Client Certification

we are in process of 10g RAC Certification and Customer Aksed
Would it be correct to assume that the Oracle RAC 10g Certification will include the 10g OCI client certification? I believe this will be necessary for an application to connect to the cluster.
Can any one help to answer this?
