Oracle Documentation Relating to 1Z0-051

Hello,
Just wanted to some input on which Oracle Documentation Books I should be using using in order to prepare for 1Z0-051. At the moment, I am using:
Oracle Database Administrator's Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Oracle Database Concepts 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Howard

I used "*SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)*".
It's a complete exam preparation edited by McGraw Hill - Oracle Press.
Authors: John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass.
I thing it's a good book.

Training for 1z0-051?

Hello all,
I have a requirement by my employer to achieve Oracle Certification. I passed 1z0-052 last week after studying off and on for the last year and a half. Next up is 1z0-051 or 061.
Fortunately my employer is funding a training class for this exam. We have 11g in our environment, so it is the 051/052 track I started on. I noticed on the 051 exam page that the recommended training is no longer offered. I'm planning to take the training class linked from the 061 page (Oracle Database 12c: Introduction to SQL Ed 1.1). Is this adequate/sensible training for the 051 exam? Or should I scrap 051 in favor of 061? I see that either will count towards OCA/OCP.
I am speaking out of honest ignorance here, but it seems that the material covered for 061 is completely applicable to 051. Any sage advice for me? Am I off track in my assessment?
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
-Alan

The 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-061 exams have about a 95% commonality in topics. The 'Introduction' section was added to 1Z0-061 and the 'Creating other schema objects' section that was in 1Z0-051 has been removed in 061. As such, the 061 training should prepare you for the vast majority of the 1Z0-051 exam.
That said -- there is no reason not to simply take the 1Z0-061 exam if that's what you are taking the training for anyway. I generally consider picking one over the other to be largely a toss up. Last week someone had the Oracle Press book for 1Z0-051 and was asking about taking 061. I suggested going with 051 since they had the study materials for it. In your case, the opposite applies, so I would suggest that the 1Z0-061 exam would probably be the (slightly) better choice.

Problem with subqueries ( 1Z0-051 )

Hello, first of all sorry if this post do not belong to here.
I'm studying 1Z0-051 and I have a problem trying to understand why one excersice did by my own is not working.
In the Oracle press book for 1Z0-051 in page 369 there is one excercise that says:
How would you figure out which employees have a manager who Works for a department based in United Kingdom?
The example is as follows ( using HR database ):
select first_name, last_name from employees
where manager_id in
( select employee_id from employees where department_id in
( select department_id from departments where location_id in
( select location_id from locations where country_id='UK')))
order by first_name
I tried to do it by my own and I wrote this query
select first_name, last_name from employees
where manager_id in
( select distinct (manager_id) from employees where department_id in
( select department_id from departments where location_id in
( select location_id from locations where country_id='UK')))
order by first_name
The difference is in line 3, can someone explain me why is not working this way ??
Thanks a lot !!
Regards.

Hi,
-- book
where manager_id in
( select employee_id from employees where department_id in
-- your query
where manager_id in
( select distinct manager_id from employees where department_id in
Both queries work. but there is a different outcome because you ask something else. Remember managers are themselfs also employees. the manager_id reffers to an employee_id.
So in the "book" query you ask for employees having a manager who is in a department etc. etc.
In your query you ask for employees having a manager_id which is the same as the manager_id of other employees who are in an department etc. etc.
This is not the same thing.
The distinct in your query can be left out but does not change the outcome. eg
1 in (1,2,3) is true.
1 in (1,1,2,2,3,3) is also true.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Sir, I need your opinion about some books, I'm planning to prepare both OCA and OCP 11g which require to pass the following exams Exam 1Z0-051 , Exam 1Z0-052 and 1Z0-053
I found three books which I think good for the prep

OCP Oracle Database 11g Administration II Exam Guide (Administration II Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-053))

Link:http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?cat=112&isbn=0071597867&cat=112
Please what do you think ?I dont know what your background is, but you would probably need to organise some training and background as well.
You also need to to attend and get verified Oracle approved training to achieve DBA OCP
.... One step at a time though, and OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) is good value for low investment. But you may need to checkout other training.
The training link mentioned in an earlier post link may or may not be effective, however I do not believe it covers the oracle verified training pre-req to achieve DBA OCP.
Worth checking https://workforce.oracle.com/pls/wdp/new_home.main to see if there is cheap (not always best quality) training available near you.

What is another schema name in oracle 1z0-051 exam ?

hi all
i want to prepare oracle 1z0-051 , i study SQL tutorial (HR schema) , and i have seen some questions. but some of tables is like (sales , customers ,promotion ...ets)
What are the schemas in this exam ? by the way all samples schema install in my database
and thx advace

In the exam you will get the snippet of the code that includes table structure and may be data in some tables in some questions. But every time they are different. so my advice is that you need to understand how to read a table definition and interpret. dont just mug up the things. Go to oracle documentation and read and try get the concept right.
I followed the book 'Oracle 11g- SQL Fundamental Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051)' it nearly covered all the topics and have good examples at the end of the chapter. happy studying.
You cane refer to 'http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/sql/11g-schemamanagement-089869.html'
and 'Managing Schema Objects'

Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I 1Z0-051 Question

i bought the OCA Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) and i am not sure do i have to read the whole book ! or just go through the exam objectives table ? because the book covers lots of topics that's not in the exam and i am kind of tight on time if any one had the book or used it pls help
To make it more clear i have a table in the book that shows each exam topic with page number next to it Like this:
Restricting and Sorting Data
[ ]      Limit the rows that are retrieved by a query Pg:104
[ ]      Sort the rows that are retrieved by a query Pg:136
[ ]      Use ampersand substitution to restrict and sort output at runtime
Using Single-Row Functions to Customize Output
[ ]      Describe various types of functions available in SQL Pg:170
[ ]      Use character, number, and date functions in SELECT statements Pg:177
Edited by: user7804566 on 01-Mar-2009 02:00

Yes indeed. Practice at work (and elsewhere) is the best way to learn and ro reinforce learning.
However, the more you read, the more you will be exposed to ideas and variations. Eventually you will find that many of the books have errors in various places. You will be winning when you are able to read and identify the errors AND explain why they are errors.
The way your original question was written implied that you were after the minimum effort to pass an exam. Your last reply implies a different, and better, attitude.
My suggestion therefore is to concentrate on the actual examples, but as quickly as possible expand to areas of interest. Explore as much as you possibly can, but make it a 'learning exploration' byut asking yourself questions and then investigating what the answer is.
Also note that in Oracle nearly every answer has an exception. The best of the best know this and try very hard to understand when things go according to plan and when (and why) expections occur.

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).

1Z0-051 exam (11gR2) - Oracle Press 11gR1

The pages on the Oracle Web site state that the exam is based on the 11gR2. I am not sure when this changed as I am sure I checked in Nov 10 and it was 11gR1. There is currently no Oracle Press material to cover the most recient release of the database. If I study from the Oracle Press OCA 11g Exam Guide (1Z0-052) am I on safe ground? 11gR2 has some very interesting new features. Will these be included? The exam subject detail doesn't really go down the required level.

Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press).

Hi, I am planning to appear in the 1Z0-051 test. and got the book (OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press). this is an old copy, and does not have the CD with the sample exam.
Are the questions on the exam CD same as at the end of the book, or are those different than those in the book. I don't want to buy the book, if I don't have to.

Saying that you do not want to buy a book does not endear you to the auhors
Nore that I am only a part author of that one, my colleague Roopesh was an equal (or greater) contributor.
I have not gone through the material on the CD, but I was under the impression that it was the same as the printed content. Certainly what I have seen of all the illegal copies that criminals put up on web sites for thieves to download suggests that. THere are other sets of a few hundred questions on the McGraw-Hill website, I think if you can demonstrate that your copy is legal you will have access to them.
Overall, I would make two suggestions. First, do not rely on dummy questions. They are not the real thing (which would be illegal) and all they do is lt you confirm that you have studied the relevant material. There is absolutely no point in repeating them unil you get all right, which is what some people do. Second, do not do that exam at all, it is out of date. Do the 1z0-061 exam insead. Roopesh's book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071820280 is excellent.

Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
The two exams I will be taking are the :
1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams. I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144. I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however. The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle). You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only). I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise. Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements. I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

OCA: 1Z0-047 Oracle DB SQL Export vs. 1Z0-051 11g: SQL Fundamentals I

Hi All
Passed my 1Z0-042 today (now that's a monkey off my back, so off to celebrate with something red, fermented & >12%ABV!), and am now looking at which other exam to take to complete the OCA.
Now for me, this looks like a no-brainer....
1Z0-047 has a much wider topic list (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_047) than that of 1Z0-051 (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_051), and has a pass mark of 66% against 60% for the 11g, and is over 40GBP cheaper (I assume because 1Z0-051 is non-proctered).
Am I missing something really obvious??
Hic!
bt

>
>
>
Also, if I buy the non-proctered exam today (to head off any further nasty future prices rises...grrr...), how long is it valid for i.e. how long do I have before I need to take it online?
I thnk its unlikely (but I could be wrong) the prices will change much again (particularly upwards) for a bit except/unless currency exchange variations. So I wouldn't rush to book. I think online you can book immediately, and for proctored you should normally have slots a few days in advance at most 5 day centres apart from near end of terms and quarters and possibly on fridays or at the end of special offers.
Although the 1z0-051 is 'non-proctored' I believe it can also be taken proctored for the same price. Doing it online has risks of distraction and any connection issues may be your problem. If I did it online I am sure there would be a someone wishing explore the local electricity substation or play with a JCB when I was attempting to take my exam.
