Documentation for 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

Hi,
Could any one provide the URL for the documentation for the below certificaiton. Please provide the URL for documentation and not the sysllabus.
*1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert*
Regards

I'm not sure what you mean by the URL to the documentation. Oracle doesn't have documentation that's specifically about the test, but they do have a few SQL books/documentation here:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
The content of the test is listed here:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_047
You may also want this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Database-Expert-Exam-Guide/dp/0071614214
and possibly this practice test:

Questions about 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert

I am planning to take this exam and I have several questions:
1) I am using Steve O'Hearn's 'SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide' book and this states the following about SQL functions:
"Be sure to review the Oracle Database SQL Language Reference Manual and review the lengthy description of all of the SQL functions before taking the exam"
In trial tests it seemed that book's information was enough, but how about real exam? Is it necessary to study something in addition to this book information? You can answer regarding other exam objectives as well, if there is something that I should read from some other materials.
2) The book states that I can add not null constraint to column that has null values, if I specify default value. I tried and cannot, I get error. So the book states it wrongly or do I misunderstand something?
3) The book states that I cannot drop a NOT NULL constraint, but I can get the job done using: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name NULL;
I tried and I can execute: alter table table_name drop constraint nameofnotnullconstraint;
4) To use external tables, is only read grant on the directory necessary or also write?
5) I understood from the book that to flashback table (e.g to before drop) I need to have row movement enabled on the table. But I tried and I can make this flashback operation to table that does not have row movement enabled. How can this be explained!
Big thanks in advance!

#1) well, the manual is free; find here the SQL Language Reference - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.all_books#index-SQL
#2 & 3) If you proved it yourself, that settles it!
#4) Here's a good article about external tables: http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=512
I noted this paragraph in it, which might answer your question:
In addition to the standard read-write Oracle directory that we need for our external table, we also need an additional executable directory object for the preprocessor. This directory defines the location of the executables used by the preprocessor (we will be using gzip below). As far as Oracle is concerned, an executable directory is one that has EXECUTE privileges granted on it (this is an 11g feature specifically to support the preprocessor).
#5) don't know

More Oracle Database SQL Expert [1Z0-047] study guides in pipeline?

Hi
Are there more study resources (other than official Oracle book and Oracle Certification Prep summary) in pipeline or on market?

Are there more study resources (other than official Oracle book and Oracle Certification Prep summary) in pipeline or on market?The Oracle Press series isn't really 'from' Oracle, but rather is from McGraw Hill, so 'official' is a strong word to use. I know that Oracle provides some materials to the authors, but not the extent or type. There are very few authors/publishers that compete with Oracle Press in writing Oracle certification books. The three tests required for the DBA OCP (SQL, DBA1, DBA2) will normally generate competing books from Sybex and sometimes Packt. Beyond those tests, however, unless Oracle Press writes a certification guide, normally no one else does (and if Oracle Press writes a guide, then especially no one else does). This lack of certification materials for Oracle tests is a large portion of the reason I started writing my guides. Even then, one of the primary reasons why I designed them as a series of study guides rather than full-blown soup-to-nuts manuals is to avoid 'competing' with Oracle Press. I'd lose that fight, so I avoid it.
What I'm getting at (in a very roundabout way), is that I consider it very unlikely that another publisher will come out with a manual for 1Z0-047. The exam has been in production since early 2008 and the Oracle Press book has been out since late 2009. I don't think anyone is writing another one.

Is it possible to get ....OCA and Oracle certified SQL expert ...together ?

Hie there everyone ...
i have a little question puzzling me ...
just today i passed my , Oracle DataBase 10g Administration I --- ( 1Z0-042 ) ... on my way for OCA certification.
But now , as it required another exam to get certificate and this is my question ...
Which Exam is more preferred for this ?? ... at present oracle is offering 4 exams ...
1. 1z0-001 ... introduction to oracle: Sql and Pl/Sql
2. 1z0-007 ... Introduction to oracle 9i ( i like 10g more so , i prefer to not to go backwards )
3. 1z0-047 ... Oracle DB SQL expert ( my choice )
4. 1z0-051 ... Oracle DB 11g : SQL fundamentals
now when i was looking at these options , i come to know that , if i give exam 1Z0-047 ... i can get individual certificate as ORACLE DB Certified SQL EXPERT ...
SO , my question is ... if i go for 1Z0-047 , will i get 2 certificates ?? i means , as i have already cleared 2 exams for OCA_ ... and another for passing this 1Z0-047 as a ORACLE DB CERTIFIED SQL EXPERT ??_
can i hit two birds with one stone ??
please if someone can answer/confirm it asap ... so i can give that exam in next weekend ( i've already prepared for it ) ...
thanks in advance for any help ...

if i go for this 047 exam then will i be an OCE or OCA??
if PASS(1z0-047) then Awarded SQL Certified Expert OCE;
But DIFFICULTY(1z0-047) > MAX(DIFFICULTY(1z0-051,1z0-007)) !
But Cost(1z0-047) > Cost(1z0-051,1z0-007) -- But not by much
and pls tell me what is the basic difference between all the exam options we have to become an OCA, particularly between exams 051 and 047 ?
since i am working in forms 6i , reports and pl/sql which exam would be better for me? and ya i am already working as a developer so have practical knowledge in sql so preapring for the courses would'nt be much a difficulty for me.
so pls suggest me which exam would suit me the best. thanksI your other post as well and nearly was to make this suggestion to you the you look at PL/SQL Developer Certifications. Because they match your current experience they will always help you in moving jobs.
You can also find studying for them will help your current work.
I would suggest 1z0-051 first. It ensures your up to some 11g features and will but you can learn new things on the way. It also gets you used to taking a prometric exam. It can be done online, you if you search other posts I give some reasons why I think this is not so good for most people. Others might argue 1z0-007 is an easier exam to take as you may be familiar with all constructs.
Some people plump straight for 1z0-047. You have to know a fair bit about analytic functions for this so its not trivial. But you do get a certificate for passing the exam, and as Jack shows it can be done. But its a harder exam.
PL/SQL OCA ought to be well within your grasp too. You have the choice of 1z0-147 or 1z0-144 (current in beta as 1z0-144, a long exam, but currently very cheap). From other posts you will see I dont think highly of 1z0-147, and quite frankly you wont learn a lt studying for it. 1z0-144 is the more recent exam and has more interesting topics and I think I'd advise who to aim for that (and if you take the beta exam you get some respect for me from trying it!). But certainly take one other exam at a prometric center before taking a beta!

IZ0-144 PL/SQL certification Study material

Hi,
Can somebody guide me as to where I could find the pdf format study material for IZ0-144 exam?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
KNR
PS: What I meant is legitimate version.
Edited by: KNR on Mar 19, 2010 9:02 AM

While I don't think there is a hard copy version of this material, the 'Oracle PL/SQL Language Reference for 11gR2' is downloadable in PDF form and is a good place to learn from or use as a reference. It can be downloaded at :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e17126.pdf
However, it is not specifically written for the certification, nor is the certification based off of this PDF document. Therefore, it may or may not cover all the exam objectives and those that are covered may be discussed in insufficient, or possibly excessive, detail. It's best to double check the exam objectives and use this PDF only as a learning tool and not an authoritative study guide.
As I am also studying for this exam, I keep a copy of this on my laptop for when I have a little free time but I don't have a book or wireless internet connection available. Hope that helps.
-Joey
P.S. Quick note about a statement made by the prior poster (or****) before it causes any confusion. He said...
"That being said to gain Oracle Certification you have to have taken the Oracle Certified course."
That is not quite true. While the Oracle course materials may be the best study guides available, there is no Oracle Certified course required for the OCA or OCP level PL/SQL (Advanced) Developer certifications.

1z0-451 Oracle SOA Foundation Practitioner Study Material

Hi
Apart from Oracle University study courses, is there any study material outside i can refer to and pass Oracle SOA Foundation Practitioner certification?
I mean that just reading "Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Build Composite Applications" books and attending this training will be sufficient to pass this exam? or I need to read some other books as well?
Please suggest

This one looks easier:

I wonder how come both of them lead to the same pool! (Oracle Certified Associate)
ThanksAs you say 1z0-051 is an easier exam and covers sufficent SQL for most people. There are Oracle Press and Sybex Books covering this exam. Its actually slightly cheaper and can be done online, though I tend to advise against doing it online unless you have a particular reason for this (eg you like on the Arran Islands where there isnt a test center or something).
1z0-047 (although I believe 10g based) covers advanced topics like analytic functions. It does cover get you an SQL certified expert (OCE) for passing it. (Thats why this exam cannot be done online and is a little more expensive). There is also less material directly available to most people to cover the topics on it.
I almost always tend to recommend people thinking of taking 1z0-047 to take 1z0-051 first to get experience. But I have seen people on this forum directly study ffor 1z0-047 and pass it.
For a numnber (all?) of the DBA and PL/SQL an SQL exam in addition to a DBA or PLSQL OCA level exam is require for OCA ...
eg
DBA-10g-OCA : One of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051) and 1z0-042
DBA-11g-OCA : One of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051) and 1z0-052
PLSQL-OCA : One of (1z0-007 or 1z0-047 or 1z0-051) and one of (1z0-147 or 1z0-144)

Regarding SQL Expert certification (1ZO - 047) 12c validated

Hi ,
I am planning to take up 1ZO - 047(Oracle Database SQL Expert) certification in this month . Need some suggestions from people (Preferably who have taken up this exam after September 15th 2014) for clearing the exam and also some references like good books and sites that can help me achieve the same.

I can do little better than to refer you to Matthew's resources here:
Oracle Certification Prep: Exam details and preparation resources for 1Z0-047
and update here:
http://certmag.com/oracles-sql-expert-exam-slated-facelift-sept-15/
You are already aware of the updated topics post September 2014. You should newly introduced topics ( and there is really only a handful ) will not be in e.g. O'Hearn's book and you ill need to study these and practice from oracle documention; Quality oracle blogs; Oracle Learning Library etc.
he additional topics probably come in two categories: features present in 11g but not previously present on the exam. And features introduced with 12c.
While the exam description reads: This exam has been validated against Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Database 11g Release 2, and Oracle Database 12c Release 1 given 12c features are tested this should now rad This exam has been validated against Oracle Database 12c Release 1. ( Not 10g / 11g ).

Migrating from SQL Server to Oracle - Emulating SQL Server databases

I want to offer Oracle connectivity from an ADO.NET application that was developed for SQL Server. The application accesses multiple databases, each having the same schema but each storing different data that is confidential to the users of each database. I’ve been reading up on Oracle but have not yet found a way to group tables, views, etc. in a way that would emulate the ‘databases’ of SQL Server.
The application currently uses the SQL ‘CREATE DATABASE’ command to generate each database and then populates each with the appropriate tables. However, CREATE DATABASE appears to work differently with Oracle, creating a new instance rather than a new ‘internal database’. I’m wondering if CREATE TABLESPACE would give me the functionality I’m looking for, if it were subsequently possible to refer to a specific table within a specific tablespace.
I guess it comes down to whether it’s possible to access specific groups of tables, views, etc. within Oracle (e.g. Groups A, B and C, each having relational tables T1, T2 and T3, and be able to access and update data within any specific table, say, B-T2), while also being able to limit access to any of the Groups.
Would ODP.Net offer advantages over the System.Data.OracleClient for this architectural problem?
Any thoughts on how best to proceed would be most welcome. Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

Sorry for the delay closing-out this thread but I work from a rural location and we lost our internet service for the two-weeks prior to the holidays. Now back on-line so let's wrap-up.
Oracle and SQLServer are now both being accessed from my ADO.Net application, so a big thanks to all who've helped me with this first use of the forum. Hopefully these final comments might help someone else in turn...
In migrating from SQLServer to Oracle I initially found it hard to stop thinking about accessing multiple databases on a single dataserver and start thinking more about a single instance of a database that supports muliple users, any one of which can be assigned the same schema. While I had used the SQL CREATE command to produce miltiple databases within SQLServer, it serves a completely different purpose for Oracle, creating an entirely new instance that I did not require.
Other differences that I ran in to included Oracle utilizing 'sequences' to autoincrement identities, whereas SQLServer lets you specify the identify while creating a table (here SQLServer may simplify declaration but Oracle's approach may be more powerful, e.g. if the same identity applies across multiple tables). Also ADO.NET command parameters use an '@' prefix in SQLServer but ':' for Oracle. But by-and-large few changes were required to my SQL to get up and running with Oracle (I found the 'Oracle Database SQL Reference' useful but no substitute for logging into Oracle and just trying each string in the 'SQL Commands' area).
Clearly I'm no database expert and I've barely scratched the surface with Oracle, but after logging in through the 'Database Home Page' I've found Oracle to offer a very 'clean' and logical interface that made it easy to move around the application and get a 'feel' for its organization and what it can do before digging furhter into the documentation. The 'Object Browser' is also a great way to quickly view and edit your various tables, views, sequences, triggers, etc., and ditto your data. In short, I think I'm going to like Oracle.
Thanks again and bye for now.

I am now "Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate"

Hi
after very hard work I am now Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate. I attended courses (Admin I and SQL Fundamentals) 3 years ago. My Oracle knowhow is only the scope OCA 11g and have no Java know-how.
What should I do next?
- 1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert
or
- 1Z0-803 Java SE 7 Programmer I
what is simpler?

I am searching for an easy winI'm not a big proponent of 'easy'. I'm much more a fan of 'worthwhile'. Determining what is 'easy' for you is not easy. It's hard enough figuring out what is easy for me. That said, a fast and dirty rule of thumb for comparing Oracle certifications is:
Easiest
OCA -- Broad range of topics -- shallow depth
OIS -- Narrow range of topics -- moderate depth (Implementation Specialist -- dunno if they really have an accepted acronym)
OCP -- Broad range of topics -- moderate depth
OCE -- Narrow range of topics -- considerable depth
OCM -- Whole different ballgame -- perform or fail
Hardest
Since you are asking about an OCA exam vs an OCE exam, the basic answer is going to be that the OCA exam is easier. That doesn't take into account you. For all I know, you might be mentally allergic to Java and learning it may be the hardest thing you've ever done.

CertView issues, SQL Expert logo not available

I was checking CertView and the logo for the Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert doesn't seem to be available, the link is broken or something to that effect. Also it seems there's some errors as there's duplicated rows.
Anyone else having issues in there?
Edited by: fsitja on Nov 3, 2009 9:43 PM

Hi All,
If you are having issues such as these with CertView, please outline these issues in as much detail as possible and send to [email protected] Please include your Oracle Candidate ID as well as your SSO user name. This way, we will be able to determine if there is an issue candidate by candidate, or if there is a bigger issue that we need to take back to the technical team.
Thanks to everyone for your patience on CertView as we work out unexpected kinks. We are working very diligently to get these issues sorted out and ensure that CertView operates as expected.
Regarding tests at Pearson VUE not showing up in CertView, due to a technical issue, there was a delay in data that was coming to us from Pearson VUE getting uploaded into the database. At this time, we are told that Pearson VUE data up to October 22 should now be included in CertView. The remaining data is still pending. This issue has also affected fulfillment, so if you are expecting a certificate from an exam or exams taken up til now at Pearson VUE, your certificate has been delayed. We expect all kits for certifications completed thru October 22 to be sent by the end of next week. We hope to receive another wave of fulfillment data next week as well to get us caught up.
Please keep in mind that the transition from Prometric to Pearson VUE was a HUGE transition and we are diligently working out the kinks. Also, during this transition, Oracle released CertView which has had its own set of challenges. We understand that both of these projects have also been challenging for our customers and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work thru these issues and strive to make these process better!
