Oracle 9i OCA done ..wat next??

hi all
i had recently completed Oracle 9i OCP training in one of Oracle 9i training partners and also completed OCA (SQL (007) and Funda I (031)).
I am currently searching for a job as a Jr. Oracle DBA somewhere in Mumbai or any part of India
Could you plz guide me as to what i should do next? i mean should i continue with OCP in 9i itself (by appearing for funda II and PT) or do I have an option to upgrade directly to 10g?
I am confused

Could you plz guide me as to what i should do next? i mean should i continue with OCP in 9i itself (by appearing for funda II and PT) or do I have an option to upgrade directly to 10g?You cannot upgrade to 10g unless you are an OCP.
Set for (Oracle9i Database: Fundamentals II, 1Z0-032) and (Oracle9i Database: Performance Tuning, 1Z0-033) + Submit the Hands On Course Requirement Form to get the Oracle9i OCP, then you can upgrade to 10g OCP.

  • Preperation for Oracle 10g OCA exams

    Hi all,

    >>
    Believe me, just for the certification sake you wanna be OCA?
    I have come across of people who simply read test exam question, go to the testing centers and do pass the exams. What they really loosing here with this approch is that no confidence of their skills, not reading Oracle docs and testing the same, and when they face interview they had to find really some difficult question where there won't be any multiple choice list. This make the interviewrs or the concern person feeling that the OCA/P has really no strength.
    I would rather keep myslef reading the docs and doing the R&D before I appear for the exam.
    As you said, you don't want to spend much money for getting OCA, its like wasting your money completing an OCA, if you don't answer interviewer questions and didn't get the job.
    I am not discouraging you, rather, trying to put you on some confidence ROAD.

    If you're going to Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco next week and would like to connect to share BPM experiences, drop by booth 3324 in Moscone West. Would really enjoy getting to meet you.

    You may want to tell more than "us" or "we" because there would be a lot of people at OOW and it's not going to be easy to find someone just by the description "us" .

  • 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.

  • Study Material - Oracle 9i - OCA Exams

    I am a software developer. I would like to attempt OCA exams in next 3 months. I have a bit work experience in Oracle 9i. But i would like to prepare myself for OCA exam papers.
    So, could someone please suggest me the way forward.
    If you have any study materials for preparation, please send me the materials to my official id - [email protected]
    Thanks
    Ilangkumaran.

    Which exam(s)?
    Assuming you mean 9i Database, path and exam topics (click an exam link e.g. 1Z0-031) can be found on the OU site:
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=49
    Have you planned on taking courses? The official course material matches the exam topics (or if it's the other way around). If not, then the Concepts guide (which is a must read anyway) from the docu library goes through all the basics. That coupled with a lab database that yourself have installed and created, you'll have a nice study environment. Download's here.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Any suggestion?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    The problem is database connection to almost all schemas:

  • Certification for Oracle AS10g OCA-OCP

    To all,
    Right now I am looking at review materials for taking up the exam for OCA, but I think the topics covered were for the older version of Oracle AS10g(9.0.4).
    I noticed that there is a lot of difference, directory structure and log files between ver 9.0.4. and the latest version that OracleAS has. (i.e. OracleAS 10.1.3.1)
    So would you recommend taking the the certification for OracleAS or wait until Oracle comes up with a latest exam that applies for the latest versions?
    regards,
    Anton

    Hi Anton,
    I have recently passed the OCA AS10g exam. I didn't find much difference in exam. Hope you are referring to OracleAS 10g OCA Exam Guide (by Sam Alapati).
    BTW I didn't find any material for OCP AS10g, did you get something for that?
    Regards,
    Preet

  • Oracle 10G OCA exam

    hi anyone took oracle 10G OCA 1z0-042 exam?
    Just want to ask for some advice and guide regarding the exam.
    Is the OCA 1z0-042 exam questions more on situational, pl/sql commands or the concepts?

    Hi JrOraDBA,
    I think what Hub is trying to say is that Testking is a braindump company and using them is considered cheating; and you can lose your certifications when you're caught using them. You sound like an honest person and you're right to want to spend your money wisely, it is your future you're trying to secure; correct? ;)
    Before you jump into any training, study guides, mock exams, or anything of the sort, it would be best for you to verify that the websites you use are not going to put your certifications at risk. Here are some links that will help you:
    http://www.CertGuard.com/Search.asp?Site=testking.com

  • 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 10g Admin-I is done, what next?

    Hi,
    I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL. Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?
    Plz suggest.
    Regards

    Your question is not really clear. I'm going to take some guesses at what you mean and what you are asking
    I have completed Oracle 10g Admin I & SQL.I'm guessing that by this you mean that you have passed two Oracle certification exams, presumably:
    *1Z0-007     Introduction to Oracle9i SQL*
    and
    *1Z0-042     Oracle Database 10g: Administration I*     
    Can i take Oracle 11g Admin II I'm assuming that you are asking if you can take the following exam:
    *1Z0-053     Oracle Database 11g: Administration II*
    This exam is on a different track than 1Z0-042. The two cannot be combined for any certification.
    or i just have to completed Oracle 10g Admin II (Instructer Lead) exam To complete the Oracle 10G certification, you must pass the following exam:
    *1Z0-043     Oracle Database 10g: Administration II*
    The exam itself is not instructor-lead, so I don't know what you mean by that. In addition to passing the test, you must attend instructor-lead training. The courses valid for the 10G track can be found here:
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=244#2
    and the go for an upgrade to 11g ?Once you have your 10G certification, you can upgrade to having an 11G OCP certification by passing the following exam:
    *1Z0-050     Oracle Database 11g: New Features for Administrators*

    Address given is right. I have already received some communications from oracle like invoice in the same address.

    it would be better if i can know the status?
    thanks,
    IrshadAt the end of thread {thread:ID=2172277} Certification Forum Moderator indicated that there seems to have been a delay in success kits recently.
    This probably results in ocp-fulfillment_ww being swamped with emails (I believe ocp fulfillment is in Delhi and I suspect they will feel like they are in the monsoon season deluged with emails from the rest of India).
    Oracle could hire more poeple to answer the emails quicker and increase the exam costs.
    It also happens they when Oracle says success kit shipped its likely most people think most people mean the success kit has been posted. I suspect it actually means an order has been placed to the printers/assemblers to generate a success kit (Letter, certificate, credit card); and it probably takes a little while for a batch to be assembled and sent out.
    You are very close to the 6/8 week limit that Oracle Target for succss kit delivery, and most likely it will arrive in the next couple of weeks. However of course sometimes post goes missing. The Certification Forum Moderator will probably reply on a couple of days on this one.
