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.

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.

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.

1Z0-051 Oracle Certification - OCA

Hi. I am in a fix and so need your help.
I am planning to give 1Z0-051 Oracle Certification exam(Oracle Database 11g- SQL fundamentals). However, I will be unable to give my 1Z0-052 exam(Oracle Database 11g- Administration-I) at this time. So, if I give only 1Z0-051 exam, then will it carry some weightage in my resume? Also, if I pass the 1Z0-051 exam, then how should I put it in my resume? That I am a Oracle Certified individual?

That I am a Oracle Certified individual?If you pass the 1z0-051 you may put that in your resumé.
(If you need proof of this copy the report from the test center ... you cannot really get from of this from Oracle. Certview will publish certifcations, not exam passes). If you take this online there is no proof it was you you actually took the exam).
However you are not Oracle certified and must not put that in your resume ... you may only put it in your resumé when you have proof from Oracle you have been awarded a Certification.
The weight of this exam pass, and indeed any exam pass or certification, can depend on the reader(s) of the resumé; and the nature of job you are applying for; and the strength of the other candidates for the job. Suppose an employer was looking for CV's for a DBA job. Assuming the HR/agencies let the CV's through they might get (in practice a higher number of DBA OCPs might be expected):
Person with a 1z0-051 pass and degree and no experience.
5 with 9i DBA OCP, most with MA degrees, with no experience
10g DBA OCA obtained 3 years ago with no experience.
Apparently experienced DBA with no formal qualifications and no degree.
Now the first and last candidates have a high probability of being what they say they are, but the first wuld be no good if an experienced DBA was needed. It would be necessary at interview to be careful to check the others had the experience level claimed due to certifications being obtained though cheating and fraud. Its also worth noting DBA OCA does not cover backups / restores in depth.
However if what was needed was someone to query database results as a result of some tests the first candidate might acutally be the most suitable .. assuming he has studied the 1z0-051 carefully. The 10g OCA might not have done SQL ... the experienced DBA might feel that was not a suitable job for him, and the 9i DBA OCPs may have rushed (or cheated) their way through 1z0-007 as quickly as possible and would not be interested / capablle of this work.
(Please note this article is biased against 9i DBA OCP ... at one point my understanding is there was a particularly high level of cheating/fraud against this certification and some poor training from some WDP institutions ... which is a pity for those achieving the certification through due work and good training).

Which is the best Oracle certification for a programmer

Hi,
I have been doing web development in java for about 2 years now. I already have a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science but I want to stay competitive and am considering an Oracle Certification. The problem is that I am having trouble deciding which one to pursue. I am trying to keep emerging technologies in mind and I know that cloud computing and mobile devices are taking over. But I still know that there are many other companies out there that aren't ready for all that. I have found certifications such as:
Oracle Certified Professional Java Programmer
Oracle Certified Professional, Java EE 5 Web Component Developer
Oracle Certified Professional, Java EE 5 Business Component Developer
Oracle Certified Professional, Java EE 5 Web Services Developer
Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect
Oracle Certified Expert,Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 JavaServer Pages and
Servlet Developer
Personally, I think that "Oracle Certified Master, Java EE 5 Enterprise Architect" looks the most attractive because it seems to wrap everything into one. But the prep time and costs for this are both pretty high. Does anyone have any good information or experience that can help me make a better decision?
Thanks a bunch!

But I also doubt whether the question raised was clear enough for the person to be answered! - just my two cents ....Even if my question was not clear enough (which it was), i would expect someone applying for a senior position such as technical architect position to ask clarifying questions. My point from the beginning was, you absolutely are not qualified to become a technical architect with just a certification. Here is how the interview went
Me - How do you find out what your browser is submitting to the server from a purely client perspective?
Candidate - I will put the receiving server in debug mode and print out values.
Me - What if you don't have access to that server?
Candidate - Well, its my server.
Me - Okaay, you open your browser and go to CNN.com and click on a link, how do you find out details about that request?
Candidate - You can't.
Me - So you are saying you can't inspect what your browser is sending in http requests?
Candidate - yeah....i guess.
Me - Have you heard of tools such as wireshark, firebug, httpfox, http analyzer, tcpmon etc
Candidate - No, never heard of it.
I ended the interview after that.Hmm. Probably this guy didn't know what he was talking about, but still I wouldn't necessarily demand from someone applying for an architect position to know the gritty details of development; that's too low level for someone who should be focusing on the big picture. I'd rather have someone that knows how to design and guide people to build maintainable systems in stead of someone that knows how to sniff packets.
But then again you'd have to define what the architect role in this case exactly means. For all I know it is actually a senior developer position with a slightly better ring to the title ;)

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):

Your statements may be ambiguous, I cannot be sure what you mean by 'fundamentals exams'.
There is a developer track for those interested in PL/SQL developer, is that what you are looking for?

I've now read on your subject what you meant by fundamentals +(if all else fails read the original posters question)+.. ie 9i DBA OCA and 9i DBA OCP .... no for you forget those and and follow the link to the Pl/SQL developer track ....

Exam order is not important, but you dont get certificates unless pre-requisites all met. The is an interesting cheap beta exam arround at present if you are up for it ... 1z0-144

Thanks and Regards
Dhivya MI am still not fully sure I understand whether you are seeking training or how to register for the exam.
To see where you can take the exam goto: http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle/locate/
To register to schedule and sit the exam goto http://www.pearsonvue.com/Oracle/
To locate the certification you are wishing to obtain and the exams required for it: https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=141
http://certiifcation.oracle.com is a valuable resource. Be sure you have fully read everything relevant under 'getting started' and also 'support - faq'
If you are seeking training:-
1) See education.oracle.com for Oracle University Training.
2) You might find the Workforce development program give more cost effective training: https://workforce.oracle.com/pls/wdp/new_home.main . Please note that I believe their website can be misleading; especially for some countries.
Please note that certain (typically higher) Certifications require a course attendance from an appropriate institution. Particularly If you are not going through Oracle University ensure that your certification course requirements will mean the certification requirements, and if in any doubt do not rely upon the course providers word.

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

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.

Oracle certification knowledge

Hi All,
I am working as an Oracle DBA from last 8 months and planning to write Oracle Certification on 11g (OCA & OCP etc). please guide me What Is process and are there any books or Material available for this certification courses.
Thanks in advance.

... this is mandatory to achieve your OCP credential because without attending at least one module's training from OU ... IF I may, this is really an unfortunate requirement:
1) I passed my OCA11g. Given the economic situations, my company is "dragging" its legs in sending me to the required training from OU because of the costs it involves.
2) Plus, OU hardly ever comes to my state (probably due to low demand). So, if my company were to send me to the training, it'll have to be out of state, which means more expenses. Which unfortunately also means lower chances of me ever making it to the training classes; and consequently, me ever getting my OCP certifications.
I haven't given up on Oracle or anything like that YET; because we're still using Oracle at my workplace. However, since we also use MSSQL (used for the 3rd party applications that doesn't connect to Oracle), I have moved on to prepare for my MSSQL 70-432 exams and will probably continue on with the MCDBA path.
Given the economic situations, it's damn hard for companies to cough up 3000 for the class and 1-2 k more for out of state travel to attend the class. I'm not at all happy with this requirement.There are two things that might help to cut costs, but they probably wont.
- (1) Remember online (LVC) courses will satisfy the requirement.
- (2) Some of the satisfying courses course are 3 day (though you probably shoudn't take most of these until you have passed your 1z0-053 or reached that standard) ... and these are cheaper.
