Oracle 9i DBA OCP Books

Dear,
OCP Oracle9i DBA Certification Boxed Set (Hardcover)
by Jason Couchman (Author), Rama Velpuri (Author), Charles Pack (Author), Sudheer Marisetti (Author)
Is the above mentioned book a good one. Can also sugest others please.
Regards

As Paul said, the Sybex book and selftestsoftware.com are your best bets.
The sybex book is "OCA / OCP: Introduction to Oracle 9i SQL Study Guide" by Chip Dawes. See Amazon.com
You should be able to find this book and other books on Oracle 9i very cheap as Used books at Amazon.com
Get the practice test for exam 1Z0-007 from http://www.selftestsoftware.com/ which is that standard.
I would also read as much as you can of the Oracle 9i documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com/

Oracle 10G DBA OCP - for whom has Oracle 7 OCP

I am Oracle 7 certified and plan to have Oracle 10G certified by taking 1Z0-042 (dba 1) and 1Z0-043 (dba2 and workshop).
1. I remember I have taken SQL and PL/SQL when I was certified Oracle 7. Do I still need to one of the
1Z0-001 Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL (retired)
or
1Z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL®
or
1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert
or
1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals
2. can i find out from Oracle that my SQL/PLsql passed in oracle 7 OCP was 1Z0-001?
3. Can I take 1Z0-043 first since I took the class and plan to study 1Z0-042 on my own?
4. How many questions and the duration for the exam 1Z0-043 exactly? Oracle site indicated 92 questions form 90 minutes (it was 120 minutes last year), which is pretty short time for a person whose major language is not english.

Oracle Application DBA certifcation

I am currently studying to become Oracle Application server 10g certified. I have read this book so far: "Oracle Application Server 10g Administration" by John Germany and Burlson. It was a good starting for me - even thou it is a little hard to digest all in just one read. I had to read it twice to get a grip on in. Now that I am much more farmaliar with OAS 10g, I am looking forward to reading "OCA Oracle Application Server 10g Administrator Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-311)" to complete my reading for the Exam.
On a special note, I am currently OCA & OCP 10g certified, what do I need to do, in addition to what I am already doing to get ready for the Application Server 10g certification?

I think the key reference is: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=158. If you continue to 10g OAS OCP you will need to attend a specialist course; but it is not a requirement for 10g OAS OCA.
Thank you for the info. What I gathered from the above link is that since I am an OCP, I don't need the training. All I will need is to become OCA for OAS and I can take my OCP for OAS 10G when I have enough experience to take the exam.For these OAS OCA/OCP Certifications whether or not you are a DBA OCP has no influence.
For OAS OCA there is no required training for that certication.
However to obtain OAS OCP it is a pre-prequisite you has submitted and had verified you have attended one of the applied courses.
Obiovusly the relevant exams must also be passed.
Edited by: bigdelboy on 18-May-2010 15:10 Albert has kindly pointed out an error in this answer; for which I would like to thank him. (This is a very silly bigdelboy answer). There is indeed a third option on the link which allows a DBA OCP to complete OAS OCP Certification without taking any further course

Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

Hi all,
I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
Hope u guys answer me earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
That said, if it matters
- What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
- What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?

Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g DBA

Hi.This is Tejaswi.
I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

Hello Tejaswi,
The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
By Jonathan Gennick
Publisher : O'Reilly
ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
Oracle SQL by Example
By Alice Rischert
Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
HTH,
John.

Oracle 9i database OCP exams? when is it expiring?

i have my final performance tuning paper left for my 9i database OCP certification.

will it oracle expire this pretty soon? any clues anyone?
thanks

thanksA big clue is that Oracle have not annouced it's retirement yet and therefore you have at least 3 months minimum (unless there are extra-ordinary circumstances which is most unlikely).
See {thread:id=910656}
In particular on that thread there's details of how to subscribe to the Oracle Certification E-Magazine where retirements will be annouced.
As for the actual retirement date, that is up to Oracle.
However as far as I am aware from one reference 9i runs into indefinite Sustaining Support as of August 1, 2010; and the exam retirement may have some indirect linkages to that date, though it is pure speculation on my part. 9i is no longer available for download from OTN, so the end may be relative soon.
Against that it is as far as I aware 9i is still used by the WDP program.
I personally think it would be a good idea for oracle to withdraw the 9i DBA OCA exams before the 9i DBA OCP to avoid people getting stuck half way through the program. Or perhaps to give an early annoucement of retirement date for this particular programme. The retirement may also affect people who have spent money on hands on courses.
So I suppose if you wish to base your certifications on out of date products and dont get through the certifications promptly and lose out then that is isn't what would be expected of an OCA or OCP. (I am not talking about you here as you obviously seem to be progressing through the 9i exams and I can well imagine someone not being able to put effort into studying for one at particular points in time as you have work or family or sport or holiday or domestic or partying or romancing things may need to be done .... but it obviously remains sensible to keep an eye on things so you dont miss the boat with retired exams). There is a valid point in this but this paragraph does not say the thing I want to say in the way I want to say it.
Personally I'm at least :
99.5% certain you would be able to take your exam in March 2010;
90% certain you would be able to take your exam in June 2010;
90% certain you will NOT be able to take your exam in 2012
99% certain you will NOT be able to take your exam in 2013
(If any of the above reads stupidly please accept my apologies ... it has good points but i am now a little too tired to check it for whooopsies).

Path to Oracle 12c Database OCP

Any path to Oracle 12c Database OCP from 11g OCA? If so, which exam number?
Thanks!

Hemant K Chitale wrote:
Even if you were to go from 11g OCA to 11g OCP, you need to provide Oracle evidence of attending at least 1 of the qualifying Instructor-Led Training classes.
Hemant K Chitale
Reading the original posters answer i read the likely senario was that he already had 11g DBA OCP eligible training but did not have 12c DBA OCP eligible training; and felt it would unlikely to be in budget. ( Of course some of the 12c DBA OCP eligible training is a two day course .... approximately less than half the cost of 5 day courses ... sould that help).
And 1z0-053 + 1z0-060 is an alternative to 1z0-067 from his situation.
Therefore 12c DBA OCP should not be beyond his grasp ( assuming he can pass the exam(s)).

Guidance to become a Oracle 10g DBA

Hai...
I m a lecturer in an Engineering college.I want to change my job as i m interested in DBA. So i have joined a course in Oracle 10g DBA through Oracle University,which will be starting on 25th june.Can anyone guide me how to go abt it, so dat i can prepare well for interviews n place myself in a gud company.Also plz let me knw which has gud scope,DBA or Data warehousing.

Hi,
My list of Oracle DBA job skills include the following:
Excellent communication skills - The Oracle professional is the central technical guru for the Oracle shop. He or she must be able to explain Oracle concepts clearly to all developers and programmers accessing the Oracle database. In many shops, the Oracle DBA is also a manager and is required to have excellent communication skills for participating in strategic planning and database architectural reviews.
Formal education – Many employers require Oracle professionals to have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or information systems. For advanced positions such as an Oracle DBA, many employers prefer a master’s degree in computer science or a master’s in business administration (MBA).
Real-world experience - This requirement is the catch-22 for newbie’s who possess only an OCP certificate. A common complaint of people who have OCP certificates but no job experience is that they cannot get experience without the OCP, and they cannot get a job without experience. This is especially true in a tight job market.
Knowledge of database theory - In addition to mastering the technical details required for the OCP exams, the successful Oracle professional must have an understanding of database and data warehouse design. This includes intimate knowledge of data normalization theory and knowledge of star schema design, as well as object-oriented modeling with Unified Modeling Language (UML) and knowledge of other database design methodologies such as CORBA and J2EE.
Here is my list of DBA job skills:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_dba_job_skills.htm
Here are notes on becoming a DBA:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_how_to_become_an_oracle_dba.htm
Can anyone guide me how to go abt it, so dat i can prepare well for interviews n place myself in a gud company.First n foremost, show dat you have gud communications skills.
Hope this helps. . .

Can I attend Oracle 10g DBA course & attempt DBA Certification for 11g

Hi,
I am already OCP-PLSQL and want to attempt OCP-DBA stream. I enquired at various oracle education centers and came to know that all are conducting courses for Oracle-10g.
So can I attend Oracle 10g DBA course (Mandatory Course) and attempt DBA Certification for 11g. (1ZO-052 and 1ZO-053)
Thanks,
Vikrant Patil

Thanks,
Vikrant PatilYou can do these thing, and Oracle will take your money for it, but you will receive neither 11g DBA OCP certication nor 10g DBA OCP Certification at the end of it. So it isnt what you would ant to do.
Oracle Unviersity would provide the 11g DBA training courses ... No problem.
however I suspect what you term oracle education centers are probaby institutes offering WDP Courses at 10g DBA (on the cheap). See http://workforce.oracle.com
If you do 10g training then that will only be valid for 10g DBA OCP Certification .. so you would need to take 1z0-042 and 1z0-043 (I guess you already have an SQL Exam pass). Then 1z0-050 can upgrade it to 11g DBA OCP.
(Note that it does not affect you, but the converse is typically true .... version X+1 training will often be acceptable for a version X certification.)

Oracle 10g dba...

i have cleared sql and pl/sql module in oracle 9i and became OCA.now i want to get OCP. if i do oracle 10g workshop 1 and workshop 2 for OCP(10g).does this combination compatible to be an OCP in ORACLE 10g.

If you hold a 9i DBA OCA, you will need to go on to obtain your 9i DBA OCP. You cannot go directly from 9i DBA OCA to 10g DBA OCP.
Option 1 (in no particular order):
- Already holds 9i DBA OCA (please check your account at certview.oracle.com to confirm that you hold this certification)
- Pass exam 1Z0-032
- Pass exam 1Z0-033
- Complete one of the approved training classes for 9i DBA OCP (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#1)
- Submit the Course Submission Form at www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to provide your course details for verification
This will get you to 9i DBA OCP
- Pass exam 1Z0-040 to upgrade from 9i DBA OCP to 10g DBA OCP
Option 2: If you don't want to pursue 9i DBA OCP and want to go directly to 10g DBA OCP, you'll need to follow the path below:
- Pass one of the following 3 exams: 1Z0-007, 1Z0-051, 1Z0-047
- Pass exam 1Z0-042
This will get you to 10g DBA OCA
- Pass exam 043
- Complete one of the approved training classes for 10g DBA OCP (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#3)
- Submit the Course Submission Form at www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to provide your course details for verification
This will get you to 10g DBA OCP

10g DBA OCP apparently available under WDP

I had not realised DBA 10g was available under WDP (workforce) however this post {thread:id=1029756} indicated that it is.
This post seems to confirm it: [https://workforce.oracle.com/wdp_curr.html] (I can only access this page via google, not from the workforce web site, at least in the UK). This page indicates last updated in 2007.
I have previously, on many occasions, indicated I believe only 9i DBA OCP was available under Workforce Development program. This was apparently incorrect, though no-one seems to have bothered to correct me.
Obviously WDP 10g DBA OCP training is probably extremely cost effective compared to an Oracle University Course for those who it suits.
This also may be why some WDP 9i DBA OCA appear to be discontinuing (this is effectively from indirect posts from some institutions).
I think I have also said in previous posts my thought was the cessation of WDP 9i DBA courses would be a necessary pre-requiresite to the retirement of 9i DBA OCA related exams.
My apologies if I have misled people.

It will better to continue 9i certification and then upgrade to 10i in your present situation.
as for as concern you says that
Release Notes, Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise Edition for Apple Mac OS X Version 10.2 Jaguar is strictly a developer release, and does not support database options such as Real Application Clusters, JavaVM, and other "advanced database features."
I think it will support the database option. Oracle experts can give better answer this.

And Certification Paths / applications is currently here:

If you click on for example the Oracle 11i Applications Database Administrator link it currently goes here:
[Oracle 11i Applications Database Administrator]
And it indicates the exams required. Aslo as you are not a Database Administrator OCP you will have to attend (or have attended) an approved hands on course to get the certificate.
Alternative you might be more interested in [Oracle E-Business Suite R12 System Administrator Certified Expert] which may not have similar pre-requisites
