Oracle 9i OCA/OCP Exam

Hi,
I just want to know that is it compulsory to study in any prometric centre for appearing in all exams of 9i/10G? Someone told me that, i will not eligible to appear in exam, until and unless i am not student of any prometric centre. Is it right?
I am sorry, i do'nt know; whether i should post this query here or not?
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regrds

Sir, Thanks you so much. I checked the link provided by you and there is nothing mentioned like "a person must be a student of prometric / oracle authorized centre, for eligible in 9i oca/ocp exam". It means, if i prepare myself and study the oracle, i am eligible to appear in the exam (no need to be student of prometric / oracle authorized, bocz this condition is no where mentioned).
Thanks & Regards

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?

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?

Preet

Which version OCA,OCP Exam is Better Right now,10g or 11g??

Hello sir,
I am Hardik Jethava,I am from India.
I want to know which Oracle version OCA and OCP certification is better to pursue according to market trend whether it is better to pursue for 10g or 11g?
Please help someone guide me.
So,that i can start preparation for that exams.

I want to know which Oracle version OCA and OCP certification is better to pursue according to market trend whether it is better to pursue for 10g or 11g?IMHO, 11g is better. taking latest release certification will be helpful to you( for your career). so take OCA & OCP of 11g(only one exam).
also learn 10g features.
if you would like to do 10g, first take 10g OCA and OCP certification then you can upgrade your certification to 11g.

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

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).

Oracle 10g OCA/OCP - There is a one-way path?

Hello.
I' m planning to undergo the 1z0-042/1z0-043 exams.
1)Following the suggested path I have to undergo FIRST one of the [1z0-007, 1z0-47,1z0-51] exams and THEN the 1z0-042 to obtain OCA.
Is it possible in the other way? (FIRST 1z0-042 and THEN one of the [1z0-007, 1z0-47,1z0-51]
2)In the same way,is it possible after OCA, FIRST get through the 1z0-043 exam and THEN follow and complete [One of the instructor-led online o in-class courses] and Complete the course submission form to obtain OCP?
3)Is possible to undergo FIRST 1z0-042 THEN 1z0-043 and AFTER the 1z0-047 + follow and complete [One of the instructor-led online o in-class courses] and Complete the course submission form to obtain OCP?
The components are the same.What differs is the order.
Thanks

Paolo FilippiGenerally you can do any exams/courses you like in whatever order you like (There are exceptions ... i think certain Jaa certifications have certain order pre-requisites ... usually arround written assignments).
HOWEVER, you will not recieve any certifications until you meet all the pre-requisites for that certiication:
Thus if you first pass 1z0-043 .... you will receive no certifications as you have not fulfilled all prerequsites for any certification.
If you thn passed 1z0-042 .... you will still receive no certifications as you have still not fulfilled all pre-requsites for any certification.
If you then attended an accreditted course satisifiying the 10 DBA OCP and then submitted and had it validated you will still receive no certifications as you have still not fulfilled all pre-requsites for any certification.
If you then passed 1z0-047 would at that receive the following certifications close to simulataneously as you have fulfiled pre-requisites
:: SQL OCE, 10g DBA OCA, 10g DBA OCP. (The 10g DBA OCA is sort of irrelevant at this point).
Conversely Steve Zodiac:
- Passed 1z0-047 and was awarded SQL OCE as he had fulfilled all pre-requisites
- Passed 1z0-042 and was awarded 10g DBA OCA as he had fulfilled all pre-requisites
-- Attended a course relevant to 10g DBA OCP and got it validated.
- Passed 1z0-043 and was awarded 10g DBA OCA as he had fulfilled all pre-requisites
:: The difference will Seve Zodiac is he got interim certification awards quicker.
Incidently i recommend people study for 1z0-051 rather than taking 1z0-047 directly as the latter is mor difficult ( And specially if anyne has attempted to put the SQL exam last ;) )
The exam order 1z0-051 - 1z0-042 and 1z0-043 should certainly be preferable for most people, but there are exceptions.

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"

Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

Preperation for Oracle 10g OCA exams

Hi all,
I am interested in finding out what exam prep guides helped you out the most for Oracle 10g OCA certification exams. Also what test exams helped you out the most for the 10g OCA exams?
Got exams coming up next week, so please help!!!
Thanks!

>>
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.
