Oracle Certification : Help needed

Hi friends !
I want to prepare for Oracle certification. But I am in dilemma as there are two versions of Oracle : 9i and 10g for which the certification exams exists.
10g is the latest one and I think it will be better to prepare for it. But in my project we are using 9i and I wud b able to do all the practice on it.
Moreover 10g has only one paper for OCA whereas for 9i I need to clear 2 exams for OCA.
Can anybody tell me the differences between the two ?
And will all 10g commands necessary for certification run on 9i platform ?
Plz suggest which one should I go for !!

If you just want the OCP title then do 10G. If you want to be a better DBA, do the 9i OCP and then upgrade to 10G. I am 10G OCP and I could clearly see that the level of detail of the 9i study material is far superior to that of the 10G study material.
For 10G OCP they seem to assume that the database will tune itself and that you can backup and recover your database but clicking around in Enterprise Manager. This is all good in theory but if those tools fail then you still need to know what to do to get your database working.

CERTIFICATION HELP NEEDED

HI ,
I an Interested in get Oracle certification i have my Oracle 8i knowledge and is interested in getting Oracle 9i certification Developer level can any body tell me how may paper it contains and can provide me link with contain the details for these exems
Manu

I am just a beginner, but I can answer this question.
Start here:
http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/index.html?starthere.html
You should be able to find an OCP candidate guide that is very
helpful. When using the Oracle web site, getting the
information you need (as opposed to the advertising that Oracle
wants to feed you) is very difficult. Be patient. You might
find more help on some of the other forums.
The fact that your question has not been answered in over
a month is sad. Apparently the Oracle community is afraid
of new competition.

Basis certification help needed

Hi All
I am new to these forums.
I am a fresher in Basis Admin and just finished my online training course. Now I want to practice on my own. My 3 questions:
1- Can you suggest me any good website to get licensed SAP access for cheap?
2- What exam do I have to take for Basis Admin certification?
3- What is the material for this exam and where do I get it from?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks All
Adi

Hi adnan,
First of all I haven't cleared my cert. as of now. Hopefully, almighty willing, I will try to before this year end. And about the study material C_TADM51_70, I dont quite get you, because as of now its a 5 week course, i.e. TADM_10, part 1 & 2 ( week1 & week 2), TADM_12, PART 1 & 2 (WEEK3 & WEEK 4), finally tadm51 ( Oracle administration on netweaver 7.00, the fifth & final week). For all the said things, you need a good hands on practice through knowledge of sap technical administration for clearing this 5 week course. Its only in bangalore, that too after paying the fees you will be told dates & venue for exam. the dates of exam and venue are bound to be of higher frequency in bangalore, with just 2-3 exam dates a year in pune & Delhi.
Also, you cant be sure that you will be giving the exam whenever you want to. its up to the dates on which the SAP decides on pre-analysis manner and gives out the exam pattern and dates for different venues worldwide, including India. In this case you may want to give the exam next week, but, if you pay your fees, only then you may be sent the list of dates and venues. The dates displayed may be starting earliest from next fifteen days onwards, so you cant be sure about it.
As far as the SAP N.W. 7.00 trial version being free, there is nothig free that sap gives as all its softwares are downloaded from marketplace using proper loginids & pwd's after a paying up for the license by any firm. But some Unscruplous employees leak it out without company's prior permission to install and use it for personal benefits. This is breach of conduct & should never ever be mentioned as you may be banned from this wonderful website altogether.
Exam fees has also been increased by Rs.11,000/-, i.e, it stands now at Rs.38,600/-, inclusive of taxes from may 1st 2010 onwards.
My advise is you first get a job and give the certification within 2-3 years time, as the material you have mentioned is seriously outdated and is of no use for the exam. Else join the course ( basis is taught only in SAP INDIA PRIVATE LTD, DOMLUR, BANGALORE, and nowhere else in India in any authorised Institute/SAP partner). This is one of the most important point as I myself had to conduct an enquiry calling all the authorised SAP education centres in India. Thats the best I can tell you. Also, you have to give the exam within 4 months time starting from the day you made your exam fee payment, whether by training or relevant job experience,
Thanks & regards,

if you need to have the sum of invoice related to each customer then may also need to check for the

Oracle Certification Help ?

For Oracle Certified Associate DBA certification there are two exams to pass (1Z0-051 & 1Z0-052).
Similarly, for Oracle Certified Associate Developer certification there are also two exams (1Z0-051 & 1Z0-144),
So my question is that I have passed 1Z0-051 exam and my prime goal is for DBA track,
but I was thinking if I go for developer track also along with DBA track then I have to give 1Z0-051 separately for developer track or by giving three exams (1Z-051, 1Z0-052 & 1Z0-144) I can get 2 certifications for developer as well as DBA track.
please suggest.

Starting with Oracle Lite, help needed

Hi everybody,
I have a desktop application written in Java which connects to a Oracle 10g database and I want to use the same application on ultramobile devices under WinXP. These devices will use the application offline and then will synchronize with the DB.
As far as I know, I need Oracle Database Lite on mobile devices for getting database snapshots and track offline changes. I want to know if I need to install the Mobile Server for managing data synchronization between mobile devices and DB.
Do I need to develop a web-app for managing data synchronization or there is a easier way to sinchronize in this case using only the desktop application?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my poor English.

You want to look at Win32 applications. There are APIs in multiple programming languages that utilize the Oracle Lite Sync API to sync, or you can just use the mSync tool.

Oracle Tutor Help Needed

Hi
We need help creating desktop manuals and workflows with Oracle Tutor.
Does anyone know any consultants who might also be technical writers who can help out in our New York office?
Much Appreciated,

Our company recently switched over to Tutor to handle our courseware and manual output. We successfully integrated Tutor output to application help. Overall I was quite satisfied with the work our consultant provided and I would recommend them - we reduced support costs by 30% with their help. I believe they are also in NYC. I don't have their full info on my laptop here but I have their lead's personal email - [email protected] .
Let me know how things work out.

Will Oracle pl/sql certification help me get IT job

Hello guys,
I have completed my B.tech in Computer Science, I am confused a bit , Can i get a job after getting certified in Oracle Associate Pl/sql developer

You may get a job after without achieving Pl/sql developer OCA
You may fail to get a job after achieving Pl/sql developer OCA
You may fail to get a job after without achieving Pl/sql developer OCA
There are several factors involved in getting a job. And there are several ways a job may be obtained. But usually there are there stages:
- Stage Zero: A company but has a job to offer.
- And you need to be aware of it. - A friend may tell you, or an agency may tell you. And it must suit you for location and remuneration etc.
- Stage one: An interview is obtained with the company.
- Stage two: The job is offered to you rather than anyone else and you find it acceptable.
So ... to your question:
"Can i get a job after getting certified in Oracle Associate Pl/sql developer?"
Well .... there is only three possible answers ... yes, no, and maybe; and maybe is probably the only correct answer, and most people will have worked this out, which means the question may have not been the best question to have asked.
(( That said I now read the title of the thread and it says: Re: Will Oracle pl/sql certification help me get IT job)
I have been known on occasion to have been given a question by a boss.
And I have answered him:
"You have given me the wrong question
The question you should have answer me is this.
And the answer I will give you is this."
And the boss goes away happy
So you you a better question would have been:
How much will an OCA PL/SQL certification increase my chances of getting a job?
Mind you even that question won't help you get a much better answer.
For a proportion of jobs where PL/SQL is relevant that will help (for those where it is not it might be occasionally be a problem), for people with identical CV's it sometimes might help get to interview stage. But there are other factors as well. For instance if I was thinking of giving you a job on the basis of your post I might for example:
- Not be impressed with an "Hello Guys" greeting ( though this is a forum so that isn't relevant here).
- Not be impressed with you being confused.
- etc.
You probably need to get a good appreciation of the job market in your locality; and the numbers of applicants for each job. Which jobs you can apply for, what is your skillset and knowing youself as well.
Sometimes an ITIL certification may be a better differentiator for some positions in business. But it will depend on the job you can think you can get.

Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

Hey,
Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
Simon

I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

Help needed to loadjava apache poi jars into oracle database.

Help needed to loadjava apache poi jars into oracle database. Many classes left unresolved. (Poi 3.7, database 11.1.0.7). Please share your experience!
