Oracle Developer certification

Hi All:
I am planning on taking Oracle Developer Certification .
Can anyone guide me on choosing between IZ 001 or Iz007.
Which one of the exams would help me for the next level of certification(Programming with Pl/SQL certification).
Also,are there are many certification specific books to select from(Sybex,Oracle Press).Which one of these is a better choice ??
Thanks

Oracle Developer Exam Certification Guide from Oracle Press certainly needs update to cover web based forms. Most of it covers Forms Reports 5.0 , 6i only. Try
"Oracle9i Developer: Developing Web Applications with Forms Builder" - John Palinski. (It also comes with the Oracle 9i Forms CDs) in addition to the "OCP Building Internet Applications I & II Exam Guide" - 100% exam objectives coverage Guides.

Note there is more than one Oracle certification track for developers.
These are documented at: http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/index.html?ocptracks.html
If you're interested in the Java track (since you posted your question in the JDeveloper forum), then select that one from the above site. Each track provides a downloadable "candidate guide" which details the recommended study sources, books, or courses.

Oracle Developer Suite Books

Grant,
Now how you wish...
I was searching books about development in forms 10g (Oracle Developer Suite) and haven't success.
Know you any hint for me?
Regards
Ar

Forms 10g is no different than forms 6i in most of its functionality.
Forms Developer's Handbook by Albert Lulushi for Forms6i is where I learned my Forms stuff.

Source for oracle 9i Forms developer certification

Someone told me that oracle 10g & 11 g are mainly for those interested in database administration. But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??

Thanks & regards

I could write an essay, but some of my views are:
I am sure the Oracle would regard databases Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g as later versions of the Oracle Database that are generally upwards compatible with 9i but also with newer and better features.
Because there are significant(ish) adminstration differences in these database versions there is emphasis of these database administration certifications.
On the developer size yes PL/SQL has also improved, but the requirement for a newer certifiaction exam (at OCP level) was perhaps not quite so pressing:
This seems to be addressed version of the pl/sql exam, 1z0-144 (in beta), but from history even after 1z0-144 is fully released most forums vistors will go for 1z0-147 rather than 1z0-144 (see 1z0-007 versus 1z0-051 posts).
Also note that newer tools versions may not be closely coupled to newer database versions.
But, since i am interested in developers certification i want to go for oracle 9i forms developer certification ( I want to have knowledge about Forms, reports etc)
I suspect from a developers point of view oracle 9i forms developer is so similar to oracle 10g forms developer there is not much need/demand for a oracle 10g forms developer certification. (I would expect more emphasis to be put on producing an application express certifiaction anyway)
Can we learn it without any tutions ??
Not impossible but hard.
Oracle Recommended course woudl be: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getlppage?page_id=212&path=FMDT]
If yes, can you please specify websites or book names??
- And courses:
- Oracle have some self study CDROMs : [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getSearchResults?p_output_style=T&p_search_category_id=1278&p_search_format=2]
- There may be some fair/good courses arround. In india I think, butt am not sure, sql_star are an authorised partner and give forms training. Beware of unauthorised training.
- In terms of books
There are probably more bad forms books than good ones, and most are going out of print (consider second hand). Some sites like amazon have reviews.
- Websites:
- If you see or are given any websites at a miinimum check the URL through [http://www.certguard.com]
- The one site I know of is [http://www.iselfschooling.com]. Its not got a RED at certguard, and its not got a full green either. Theres a few lessons you can get for free. For learning forms definitely no problems. If going straight for a certification then may be bad. But I believe its more training orientated than dump orientated and I believe their using original materials (if anyone knows different please let me know and certguard know and I'm have for this post to be edited or deleted).

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.

Oracle's Certification Benefit?

I have become disappointed in Oracle's own recognition of their Certification programs. I am currently OCP for 7.x,8.0,8i, & 9i, (and taking 10g and '10g on Linux Expert' in about a week.) I have been Oracle certified for almost 10years now.
Even upon completing 8i and 9i, Oracle neglected to send a cheesy Lapel Pin, as they had done in the past. I have visited the OCP website often, to see 'come back to look for more benefits soon' and a discount on Oracle Press Books. (Shopping EBAY often leads to better discounts.) Has anyone ever seen any other benefits (excepting attending OpenWorld?)
Having considered getting a Certified Master credential, I have determined it is cost prohibitive. Without a sponsoring organization, $2000 for a test, plus 2 ILT's, a total of $6k-10k seems excessive. Over the past 10 years, I have already spent upwards of $16k on my own education.
Oracle has not gotten the word out to managers and employers (via their sales reps) that obtaining a Certification from Oracle denotes any confidence from Oracle.
For those of us who have gone through the trouble of Certification, it would be a useful tool (when securing employment) to have some statistics on the numbers of Certified Individuals, ie:
# of OCP's for 7.x
# of OCP's for 8.0
# of OCP's for 8i
# of OCP's for 9i
# of OCP's for 10g
# of OCP'S HAVING BOTH 7.x and 8.0 (etc)
# of 9i Linux Experts
# of 10g Linux Experts
# of 10g RAC Experts
etc
It would also be useful to seperate these stats by Country, as well. At first, this may seem like an outrageous request (especially if all this information is stored in a MS database 8-) ! ) But if you begin to consider all the new features implemented since 7.x, you begin to realize this should be no big deal. I'll bet if Oracle Certification department posted the database names and table specifications, OCP's would come out of the woodwork to write the SQL.

That thread is exactly as applicable today as it was ten years ago... which is not saying a great deal. Generally the people who vehemently insist that IT certifications have no value have an agenda. Either they aren't certified, or failed a test and so must take the tack that the tests are useless and don't assess real-world knowledge. That said, the arguments against certifications generally come in some variant of the following:
- People cheat on the tests and therefore having a certification is not a reliable means of determining knowledge.
- The topics on the tests doesn't cover what you need to know in the real world.
- Employers 'in the know' realize the certifications aren't useful and ignore them.
People who are willing to cheat on the tests are probably also willing to lie about their experience, 'enhance' their resumes, and try to gain enough of a surface veneer of knowledge using 'Oracle Interview Question' books to try to get an interview and skate through it. Certifications didn't create these people and eliminating certifications won't make them go away. Any hiring manager must take due diligence to weed them out during the interview. For that matter, cheating is rampant in the universities these days. My wife taught college-level History and had 1-2 in every class that blatantly cheated on their work. You don't generally see people claiming that this means college degrees have become useless.
I write certification study guides. I know about the information that is asked on these tests. The vast majority of the information that is in the topics is valuable to know. I will grant that upgrade tests tend to be all over the map, and may test you on features that you might personally not use. I will also say that understanding the topics on the certification exams is not enough to be able to perform the activities of a DBA, Developer, etc. However, a test that truly covered all of the information you really need to know for that would be nearly impossible to write, to study for, and to pass. What the tests do provide is a general background in the information that someone working in that field should be cognizant of.
The last point I can state from personal experience is baloney. I have seen certifications provide a positive factor from both sides of the interview table. There is no way that a candidate with an 11G DBA OCP but no experience would be hired over a candidate with no certification but several years of experience. However, they do act to tip the balance in making decisions and they do help when resumes are in the initial sort process for determining who to interview. Even when the hiring DBAs don't give much weight to certifications, they never act as a negative factor. No hiring manager decides not to hire a candidate that's a good fit simply because they have an OCP and the manager feels OCPs don't mean anything.
Outside of the three above points, I can tell you that I am a better programmer and DBA in part because of certifications. I earned several certifications soon after the program started, but then didn't do anything to upgrade for several years. I didn't take the 9i DBA upgrade test until 10G had been out for several years. When I finally studied for the upgrade test, I found several PL/SQL enhancements that answered problems I was experiencing in development. I immediately started writing better code because I went after that certification. If you actually study for the test as you should, then that process will increase your value as an Oracle professional and boost your career prospects. Having the piece of paper and a line for your resume is just icing on the cake.

MYSQL Developer Certification examples

I am looking to take MySQL 5 Developer Certified Professional Exam, Part I | 1Z0-871 but would really like to see an example paper before taking the exam. I know it is recommended to look at topics but pre the Oracle buyout it was relatively simple to find example papers and practise - is this still possible - can anyone point me in the right direction (Oracle cannot!).

http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=208
2) The exam page is here:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=5001&get_params=p_exam_id:1Z0-871&p_org_id=&lang=
- there are no sample questions (pre MySQL sun days the MySQL website used to contain 10 sample question per exam, these have disappeared with the moves to Sun then Oracle.
- It says the exam is validated against 5.0, 5.1, 5.5
3) Matthew Morris gathered a basic set of resources here:
http://www.oraclecertificationprep.com/apex/f?p=OCPSG:EXAM_DETAILS:0::NO::P2_EXAM:1Z0-871
... In particular I suggested he added the "MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide " as I believe it still probably remains the key reference source for these exams. There are a number of questions after each chapter (Reading the review this may only be on the CDROM ... that isn't the case for MySQL DBA Cluster exam book .... but may be for the earlier one ... this is relevant if you buy an electronic edition). If you learn the material first, then see these questions for the first time, they should give you a indictor of exam readiness.
If you seek exam questions on the net I am reasonable sure you will find only braindumps etc ... which are to be avoided ... as they are cheating:
https://blogs.oracle.com/certification/entry/0859_01
My personal opinion (not authorative) is that this exam is unlikely to have changed much from the pre- Oracle/Sun days. The statement on the exam page "This exam has been validated for MySQL 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5" indicates this is essentially remains the MySQL 5.0 but that questions have been checked to ensure they remain valid for 5.1 and 5.5( often affects DBA exams more ... often caused by later versions removing a restriction or odd behavior that was appropriate to test the candidate for on earlier versions). Questions not meeting that critieria will have been modified/removed/replaced. Questions should not be present that rely on 5.1 and 5.1 features.
Edited by: bigdelboy on Feb 4, 2013 2:27 AM ... check checked in the book ... the questions are cdrom only ... from what i now recall they do not have an associated test engine .. PDF work form only. It is possibly they are not chapter related ... only exam related.
