Thanks

Hi Rose18
Have you consulted the following link ?
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=&lang=&p_exam_id=1Z0_146
Oracle Recommended Training and Preparation is Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL
It seems that no book and/or samples questions are available at the moment for that exam.
Hope this help you.

No Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer OCP in June UK Training Leaflet?

Oracle have out of the kindness of it's heart :x (and desire to avail of bigdelboy's gbp ;\ ) sent bigdelboy an Oracle (UK/Eire) Training Courses June-October 2009.
This training course leaflet also references certifications.
Now interestingly there is no reference to the Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional on this :(
There is mention of the following 4 training courses wrt certs:
Oracle AS 10g : portal - build corporate portals
Oracle AS 10g : portal - build build portlets with PL/SQL
Oracle forms developer 10g: build internal applications
Oracle Reports Developer 10g: build reports
And looking at this bigdelboy also noticed ?:| .....
... to top it all, as of the time of this post the Oracle PL/SQL developer and forms Page currently at:
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=155]
seems to be showing incorrect info ...
It shows Advanced Pl/SQL developer OCP being obtainable by:
1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-147+1z0-144 (1z0-144 is not shown explicitly but the link points to it).
rather than what bigdelboy suspects is correct.
1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-144(or 1z0-147)+1z0-146
Anyway bigdelboy wonders if mediaguy has been a little slow on the announcements or has bigdelboy totally misunderstood :D

Hello, core Tech Delivery Manager for UK here - Claire
Noticed your comments re new printed schedule - just to say Dates here correct at going to print, but things change as we go.
For exmaple - We also have a new partner in Ireland who's training dates can be found on IE education website on http://education.oracle.com, not on printed schedule.
New dates and courses come out all year (new Oracle 11g Weblogic middle tier courses will be next to hit the shelves, followed by 11gR2 New Features for Administrators etc)...so it is always best to use Printed schedule as a guide only, and it should entice you to our UK website for OU, to check latest dates, locations and prices, most of which should match ok...but there will be a lot more on website. You can also call +0845 777 7711.
You are right the PLSQL OCP is not on the printed schedule - I am glad they have added this though - the exam is currently in Beta from what I understand, but regardless I took the decision given the limited amount of space and huge variety of middleware offerings, to include more learning paths such as Java Developer, Web Admin and App Developer (you will see APLS listed as a course there, and I ensured it was one of the main listed unfer the DB&Lang section.)
We now teach 11g version of Advanced PLSQL.
Forms , Reports and Portal still have Customer Demand in UK and IE hence their inclusion too - not all companies have upgraded to latest Oracle technology yet, which is why we still run a lot of 10g based DB courses in parallel to 11g - most customers plan to upgrade from 9i/10g straight to 11gR2.
Hence, it is wise to include courses that will sell, not just the latest courses ..which could alienate potential customers of OU !
You are totally right about the exams though - I notice it should be 1z0-051(or friends)+1z0-144(or 1z0-147)+1z0-146 as you say below, so I have emailed marketing et al to see if Global will change the website (which is centrally controlled from US).
Do let us know anything else you can report, Id be happy to help if I can...though I wont leave my phone number on here if that's ok!

Study Guide for Advanced PL/SQL (1z0-146)

Hi all,
I am planning to take the Advanced PL/SQL (1z0-146) exam, but I do not know what stugy guide I can use in order to prepare for the exam.
Does anybody know which study guide I should use?
Thank you in advance,

Good morning Annelise,
You might want to take a look at [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9361197�]this posting. There is a list of items the poster used to study for the 1Z0-146 exam.

IZO-146 11G ADVANCED PL/SQL

PLEASE SUGGEST SOME BOOKS TO PREPARE FOR OCP
I.E IZO-146 11G ADVANCED PL/SQL..
PLEASE GIVE SOME RELEVANT BOOK NAMES WHERE ALL THE TOPICS ARE PRESENT
THANK YOU ALL

Steve Feuerstein's book, Oracle PL/SQL Programming is probably the best one out there.
Make sure you get the 5th edition, which covers Oracle 11g release 2.
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-PL-SQL-Programming-Versions/dp/0596514468
There's also an Oracle Press book...
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Database-Programming-Osborne-ORACLE/dp/0071494456
I have passed the 1z0-146 test, and although I had brief access to both of these books, neither one of them constituted my main study.
I first bought a practice test from uCertify because at the time it was the only one available. Later, I also bought the one from SelfTest Software (now Kaplan).
http://www.selftestsoftware.com/product.aspx?product_id=1Z0-146
I do have one hesitation about recommending SelfTest Software: Their references to online websites where you could study and learn more included some illegal materials. I won't say any more about that, because I don't know who'll be reading, and if they hate that kind of thing as much as I do... Anyway, I did tell them at SelfTest Software about this, and don't know if they did anything about it.
I found Oracle-Base.com to be helpful also. Especially relevant would be these pages:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/PlsqlNewFeaturesAndEnhancements_11gR1.php
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/PlsqlEnhancements10g.php

Why I've choosed Oracle Certifications over SQL Server's : Highly Specified

Since doing my Internship on SQL Analysis/Optimization on both Oracle and SQL Server as we support both for our Products, I wanted to target a relevant certification to enforce my experience and as a consequence my CV.
I was in hesitation on choosing between an SQL Server certification or an Oracle Database Certification.
Instinctly I would have gone for SQL server for the following reasons
1. As I'm new and totally unexperienced it feels much easier and appealling to me
2. It is more simple and thus easier than Oracle
3. I've Experienced it more - since the first weeks as introductive, while Oracle was and is a more misty field
But the basic reason I decided to head towards Oracle was Simple : Highly Specified Certification.
In my placemnt, I primarly analyse and optimize preset API SQL Statements. So what I learn and do, is SQL and SQL optimization techniques.
And on Oracle I can be provided certifications specifically for this. SQL Expert, PL/SQL, SQL Tuning.
On the other side, Microsoft hasn't such a thing at all, with the only Certification available being MCSA.
To get the MCSA certification I need 3 different Exams 1 Querying 2 Administering 3 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Sector on which I dont have a clue. So a logic +"Either Everything or Nothing"+ No thank you sir I wont take.
At the best I can take just the 1.Querying BUT
1. It combines SQL, T-SQL, Optimization in one Exam. But I dont work much with T-SQL, I would prefer an exam just on SQL or Optimization. AND
2. Its not even considered a full Certification
While in Oracle I can (if I'll make it and find time for their bigger extend) take a Certification on SQL, and a Certification on Tunning which are the exact fields of my Placement.
And if i suceed I can extend to PL/SQL, but until then I dont have to bother for PL/SQL which I dont use much.
I dont care if I need separate payments and procedures, since I can organise Studies & Exercise one field at a time, than having to care for both PLUS a field I dont actually use much.
And then there is also the positive that you will gain certification for the Top and mos advanced DBMS. And that its not only about that Oracle Devs are less and thus maybe more easy to get hired but also that "if you learn the Difficult(Oracle), then if you have to learn the Easy (SQL Server) it would be easier possible, than the opposite"
So Oracle Certs have in my case that positive Frame
1. Specified Certifications Mirroring Exactly your Sectors
2. Helps self-organisation your Study-Learning Distincting each sector
3. No1 DBMS, more promitment,
4. As more difficult, it will be surely easier to transfer to SQL Server if there will be need afterwards , than the opposite
While SQL Server Certifications on the opposite have a negative Frame
1. Only Full Certification is MCSA for the Entire SQL Serve Set, things I dont know
2. Only an Exam 1.Querying is possible, which is Not A full Certification
3. Mischiefs 3 fields to 1 SQL, Optimizing, T-SQL in one for which I dont operate all on the same level and will fragment the study organisation (no educative logic at all)
4. SQL Server is Easier than Oracle. Being 22 yet, if need comes up it will be harder to transfer to Oracle. The opposite will be easier i think.
Well under these circumstances for my situation, to set on Oracle Path I think it was more than clearly better.
It outpasses even the needing of X4 funds for the same knowledge (SQL+Tuning+PL/SQL)

It might seem easier on the surface, a point and click interface might be easier acessible for some, but both are complex product suits and neither database engine/platform has a small or "easy" feature set.
My view is sort of the opposite of yours (of course, it might be a natural view from a long experience with databases and data systems); Oracle DBAs have to be good at what they do, when on the other hand almost anyone can fool themselves thinking they are MSSS DBAs (clicking around in a "explorer" like interface, how hard can it be?). But in reality, it will takes ten's of years of learning and doing on each platform and their applications to be really great at it.
3. I've Experienced it more - since the first weeks as introductive, while Oracle was and is a more misty fieldSeems like this is the key - you'll only really learn when you dive in and try, fail and try again... (different thresholds on learning curve/steps may vary).
On the other side, Microsoft hasn't such a thing at all, with the only Certification available being MCSA.You seem to have completely missed the Pro, Master and even Architect levels. Also, for the more "specified", there's implementor, db developer, BI developer tracks with TS and ITP exams/certifications.
For your case you may want to compare with MCITP Developer track, which has a certificate after each exam (TS, then ITP).
Remember that MS has a different certification layout. There may be 3 or even 5 steps (exams) before you'll get certified on some level, where as you might need 1 or 2 exams completed to get a Oracle Database cert.
To get the MCSA certification I need 3 different Exams 1 Querying 2 Administering 3 Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012See previous points :)
At the best I can take just the 1.Querying BUT
1. It combines SQL, T-SQL, Optimization in one Exam. But I dont work much with T-SQL, I would prefer an exam just on SQL or Optimization. AND
2. Its not even considered a full Certification Again, look at and compare with Querying/Development and Designing Database Solutions.
Depending on your outset and "point of view" on things, on the road ahead you could choose to not be blind to "the other side" (whichever one) but learn to discern and apply, reinforcing knowledge from whatever aspect you'll learn and see and know. Be open and open to re-learning stuff. If you don't take things too literally, sql and performance and scalability matters exists on both platforms. You might be able to learn e.g troubleshooting and optimization, not O* troubleshooting and optimization. Also this is a wast area, about performance, becuase you'll need to know systems, how systems fit toghether and maybe more importantly how the users use the system, how they think they use the system, getting to know them and how to hear and control their expectations (yes, you'll be amazed in ten or twenty yers from now how much "psychology" this really is about).
The (hopefully long) road towards/before exams and certification is what you should put your mind and effort to. As with most other aspects of life; there are no quick fixes - that is just how we "ignore" things we not really want to invest in.
>
While in Oracle I can (if I'll make it and find time for their bigger extend) take a Certification on SQL, and a Certification on Tunning which are the exact fields of my Placement.Yes, and for you and your outset that might be a good place to start. But consider actually learning SQL and learning tuning (which will take years) not just "take a certification".
And if i suceed I can extend to PL/SQL, but until then I dont have to bother for PL/SQL which I dont use much.This might be a sign of "narrow tracking" too early. Learning a little PL/SQL or whatever skills will help in ways you do not yet know. Read what EdStevens has written on the forums on the topic of studying (learning systems from having a major within music).
It outpasses even the needing of X4 funds for the same knowledge (SQL+Tuning+PL/SQL)Knowledge does not come from taking exams (if you don't mean the "I know how to do multiple choice tests"-kind of knowledge).
Perhaps it is better in the long run if you study and experience and do the things you like to do, and let the certificates come later on when the time is right.

How to use advanced PL/SQL concepts in oracle forms/reports

Hi all,
Can any one suggest me how to use the advanced PL/SQL Concepts(nested tables,PAA,Varrays,Objects...) in Oracle forms.
Actually i Created a Table having column of Varray datatype. now i want to create a item in oracle forms on this field. can any one suggest me the way to do this.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hello,
Have a look at this one:
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/tutoforms10g/tutoforms10g.htm
particularly the chapter about block that contain a collection (2.3.3). The sample is built around a nested table but you have the idea to adapt it to work with a varray.
Kind regards,
Alex

Query regarding Oracle certification for Admin path

hi I have the below certifications under my belt :- 1. Oracle Certified PL/SQL Developer Associate 2. Oracle Certified PL/SQL Developer Professional I would like to give Oracle Database 11g administration Associate certification. For which I can see I need to give 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 exams. So my question is whther I need to give Z051 exam??Keeping in mind I have OCP level path cleared for PL/SQL developer track. Thanks in advance..

How can i get confirmation on this officially?
Go to the FAQ:
https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=82
Search for 'SQL Fundamentals'. One of the questions will be: "How long can I use a passed exam to earn a certification? Do exam results expire?"
The answer is: "Exam results do not expire, but certifications retire, and this affects whether or not your older exam result will help you earn a certification.
If a specific exam meets a requirement in a current certification path, it does not matter when you passed the exam. For example, if you took SQL exam #1Z0-001 in 1997, you can still use it to meet the SQL requirement for a current Oracle Database certification."
If you don't trust that -- the forum moderator, Brandye, may come along in a day or so to confirm what I said. However, there is no doubt. The question comes up fairly often. For that matter, I wrote a blog post about it over a year ago (although this would still not be 'official', of course):

Which Oracle Certification Should I Start With

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on which Oracle certification I should start with. Let me first tell you about me and my business goals. I an new to the SQL world but have a firm grasp of the RDBMS. I have also worked as a Business Analyst for a company that is doing an Oracle upgrade including the EBS. I have had to do some very basic queries. My business goal is to improve my Oracle database skills.
I would like to add Business (Data) Analyst to my job description some day. I would like to be both a Business Analyst and a Business Data Analyst. I have been asked to work as a jr. DBA in the past, and would like to continue to pursue those options. Currently, my work seems to evolve around Oracle as opposed to the other businesses out there.
Given this information, which certification would you recommend I start with. Please let me know if you require additional information. This is my long term business goal so I will take as much time as needed to get it done. I was thinking I should start with *1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals I* (11g). Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

If you get to Business Analyst than you can go wiht ebs certification

But dont forget those subjects are different from eachother and need different skills to become senior on those subjects

Thanks in advance.From the information you have given the:
Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:PLSQL )
Would seem to be a suitable target certification.
I would suggest this is best achieved via study for the 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 exams. In general most people would consider studying for 1z0-051 (SQL) first.
matthew ... who regularly posts here .... has a comprehensive set of certification safe certificaiton resources for these exam here: http://www.oraclecertificationprep.com/apex/f?p=OCPSG:Exams:0::NO::::
There is no mandatory training for this certification, but oracle do recommend certain courses if you need them. As you have a some SQL knowledge you might wish to purchase the book by Watson for 1z0-051 as a low cost introduction. Also browse the website at http://certification.oracle.com
