Oracle ceritification OCA - developer track

Hello,
Iam planning to prepare for the exam IZO_007 ( introduction to Oracle9i: SQL) and IZO-147 (Program with PL/SQL).
but i heard that oracle 9i software will not be using in future. so,oracle10g is most important.
please advice me which exam should i take oracle 9i or oracle 10g.
and also please let me know which books i have to study and which practice tests are useful.
I will be very thankful to you.
regards

I am an OCA Developer & DBA and I dont think Oracle will stop supporting 9i very soon. However, since ur just starting to take it 10g looks like a better option.

Oracle 11g certification in Developer track

I would like to go for Oracle 11g certification in Developer track. I've already given 1Z0-051 paper.
Is OCA 11g certification in Developer track now available. And if it is not currently available, I believe when it is going to be released the first paper is going to the be same (1Z0-051) and I could give the second paper and get the certification.
Please advise.

Could you please explain what is the difference between beta exam and the normal one.Q) What is the difference between a Beta exam and a production exam?
A) Beta exams are used by Oracle to test new exam questions with the participation of a live audience. Data gathered during beta testing are used to select the best questions for the production exam, and to eliminate questions that are ambiguous, too easy or too difficult, or are unhelpful in evaluating participants' knowledge level. Beta exams are offered at a discounted price; and candidates usually have either 3 or 3.5 hours to complete the exam, and may see 175 - 220 questions. For more details on how beta exams differ from the production version, visit the Oracle Certification Beta Exam Information web page.

I see that 1Z0-146 is the final paper for OCP (Advanced PL/SQL programmer). Can I not get a OCA certification in 11g?You can get the "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" certificate if you pass (1Z0-001 or 1Z0-007 or 1Z0-047 or 1Z0-051) + 1Z0-147 exam.

Can I do OCA in DBA and Developer Track?

I have cleared 1Z0-007 and 1Z0-031 recently and that earns me a OCA in DBA Track. Now, I would like to do another OCA in Developer Track. So, will just 1Z0-147 be sufficient as I have already cleared 1Z0-007?
Also, is there any Hands-On requirement for Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Certified Professional?
Thanks and Regards,

Query Regarding the Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA

Hi All
I am planning to go for the certification "Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA "
But I am not sure what is value of this certification in market.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
Amit

My view is this: The more you can put on your resume, usually the better. By itself, its not worth anything. Combined with several years of experience, it could make a difference. If you go for a job and have 5 years of experience and a certification, and the other candidate just has 5 years, as long as you both interview well, I'd say you have a slightly better shot because you have that extra thing on your resume.
You need to look at it in that respect - but its not a magic key to get you any job. Of course different countries may be different in how they view certiciations.

Oracle Certification : Developer Track

Hi all,
I completed OCP Forms developer ( 1ZO-007,1ZO-147 & 1ZO - 141 ) exams.I've a doubt that whether there is any 10g specific different exams for the Forms developer OCP ?? If so , pls let me know the exam codes too..
Expecting an immediate reply..
Thanks in advance....

Hi Preethy,
From your earlier reponse I understand that the Forms and PL/SQL developer certifications are not specific to a version in the way the DBA certification is..Correct for 9i, 10g, and 11g (but NOT for Developer 6i).
If my understanding is correct, then for the Oracle PL/SQL developer certifications (OCA/OCP), can I prepare with _{color:#0000ff}9i{color}_ SQL & PL/SQL topics/books for the exams 1Z0-001/1Z0-007/1Z0-047 & 1Z0-147 & 1Z0-146 (as the changes across the Oracle versions are at the database front & not related to PL/SQL as such)? Could you please confirm this for me?It should be OK to use this reference. However, I would recommend you refer to the exams links and make sure you cover ALL the topics under "Exam Topics" section (especially new features) before appearing for the exam.
Regards

HI
I would like to ask if i want to go for forms and report development then for OCA only which exams i need to pass.
Hopefully exploration of the above link would be beneficial in answering this for yourself.
There is no certification exam for Reports.
Forms Certification is obtained by achieving PL/SQL OCA and taking a relevant forms exam to achieve Forms OCP.
>
and what if i selects 9i (1Z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL® ) or 10g (1Z0-147 Program with PL/SQL) versions to go for exams.
So Please mention clearly the benefit of giving exams for a new version like 11g.
What follows should be taken as IMHO. It is your time/money/expense to choose as you will.
If you take older version exams then you have not demonstrated initiative to to study using more modern exams with more relevant topics taking on board more recent features.
Hopefully as Pearson has is already identified one Oracle DBMS 12c exam (1z1-060) in its offerings (not currenty bookable I may add); and as 12c RDBMS is on the soon to be in production in 2013; and because of the indicator of ISBN-13: 978-0071820288 ....... 1z0-147 and 1z0-007 should finally be retired in 2013, IMHO not before time.
( 1z0-147 is more 9i (or 8i) than 10g ... in fact possibly inappropriate for 10g )
Thanks

Using common exam to achieve certification for OCA ( Developer + DBA )

Hi,
i have given a Oracle 9i : Introduction to Oracle 9i ( 1Z0-007) exam which is one of the two mandatory exams for OCA ( Developer ) . So my questions is .. once i complete my OCA ( Developer ) can i directly give (1Z0-031) to get an OCA (Dba) Certification or i would have to give the exam again ?
Thanx,
Abhishek

The exam (1z0-007) is a prerequisite exam for OCA (Developer or DBA Track). In your case, you have already passed the 1z0-007 exam, so you are very much eligible for writing the exam (1z0-031) without taking the exam (1z0-007) again to fulfill the prerequisite for the OCA – DBA track exams. Moreover, candidates may not retake a passed exam at any time. But, while registering for 1z0-031 exam, you have to show your passing details of the exam 1z0-007 to the parametric center.
Best of luck.

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.

Good day,
I received my OCA several years ago (in 2004) and just now finally have the motivation to continue on towards OCP. I'm a developer and I would be pursuing PL/SQL Developer certification. I'm wondering if there is a timline in which my OCA is "too old" and I would need to re-test? or am I good to continue and prepare for the 1Z0-146 exam?
I'm taking the new <u>Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL</u> to refresh my knowledge of some of the features of PL/SQL that I haven't had the opportunity to use; and then intend to take the Advanced PL/SQL class as part of my preparation.
I just don't want to have to start over with the tests. I'm not a big fan of CBT's so if I can avoid a re-take, I'd like that.
Thanks,
Don.In Oracle exams/certifications once gained remain forever. So your certification wont be 'too old'.
However you must ensure it is a PL/SQL developer OCA (gained via 1z0-147 + an SQL exam) or it may not be a valid pre-requisite for the PL/SQL OCP. (Viz a DBA OCA would not satisfy, nor would a 1z0-101 as far as i am aware).
In general http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155 is authorative.
