Oracle ocp exams guide ?

i am learning on purhcasing hotcerts.com $85 package for my ocp exams . anyone knows how good are ocp exams of hotcerts ? . please do let me know.

According above line selftestsoftware is better than testking. in my experience.I have had come across many comments that selftestsoftware gives you more accademic question, and and below 10% question may come in the exam. Whereas, testking, gives around 90% of guarantee.

Oracle 9i exam guides

Hello Friends,
can anybody pl. arrange me pdfs of oracle 9i OCA & OCP exams on [email protected]
Thanks and regards

I believe this would be considered cheating.
I suggest you buy the practice tests from selftestsoftware.com or transcender.com or even oracle. Buy the Sybex book for Introduction to SQL 9i. You can find many used books on Oracle 9i cheaply at amazon.com. Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com/ and read oracle 9i documentation.
People who cheat de-value those who have attained their OCA/OCP certification or who are studying for it.

10g OCP Exam Guide Book - Exercise 35-1. Error?

If this is not the correct thread - apologies, feel free to advise me where to post this.
In this exercise, which involves managing users in a consumer group, I think there are a few missing steps, which should involve adding the OLTP, DSS & BATCH groups to the SYSTEM_PLAN, so that when one of the new users logs in, they are added to the necessary group.
Otherwise, they will just go into the OTHER_GROUPS group, as the system_plan does not know / have any reference to these newly created groups.
Thoughts welcome.
Thanks

btThere are two books this could come from Oracle Press or Sybex.
Quite frankly the only thing for you to do is try it out! (Yes I know I should know off the top of my head but I dont). Part of the job of the DBA OCP is learning how to set these things up when there is an ambiguity and you are unsure amd you need to try it out ... it is part of a good certification journey).

Oracle 9i OCA/OCP Exam

Hi,
I just want to know that is it compulsory to study in any prometric centre for appearing in all exams of 9i/10G? Someone told me that, i will not eligible to appear in exam, until and unless i am not student of any prometric centre. Is it right?
I am sorry, i do'nt know; whether i should post this query here or not?
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regrds

Sir, Thanks you so much. I checked the link provided by you and there is nothing mentioned like "a person must be a student of prometric / oracle authorized centre, for eligible in 9i oca/ocp exam". It means, if i prepare myself and study the oracle, i am eligible to appear in the exam (no need to be student of prometric / oracle authorized, bocz this condition is no where mentioned).
Thanks & Regards

Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

Preparation for Oracle 10g OCA and OCP exams

Hi all,
I am studying for my first Oracle 10g OCA exam. Thus far, I have the Transcender exam prep software and book from Oracle Press for the OCA/OCP exams with Oracle 10g. With a test Oracle 10g database to practice on while I study, am I on the right path?
Thanks

Use the http://education.oracle.com OR http://otn.oracle.com as your portal - you'll see the Certification link on either one. From the Certification page you will be able to drill down to the objectives and requirements of the exam. I suggest you use that as a checklist, as the various books and sample exams have been known to include mistakes or miss items.
In addition, you should be familiar with the first few chapters of the Oracle Concepts manual and also, preferably, the first few chapters of the DB Admin Guide - both available from http://tahiti.oracle.com
A great motto while learning is "trust no one - verify everything"

HELP:About the OCP exam with Oracle Reports??

Hello
Can i achieve OCP with SQL exam , PL / SQL exam and oracle 9i reports exam / xml publisher exam
I'm not intrested in giving an oracle forms exam.
I'm working as an oracle reports writer on oracle applications.
Kindly guide me in the right direction with appropriate oracle links etc.
Regards
Fahad Hameed.

You can achieve "PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" by passing "Introduction to Oracle9i SQL 1Z0-007" OR "Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL 1Z0-001" OR "Oracle Database SQL Expert 1Z0-047".
For "Oracle Forms Developer Certified Professional", you need to pass "Oracle Forms: Build Internet Applications 1Z0-141" after getting the "PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" certificate.

Errors in 1z0-051 and 1z0-061 Official Oracle exam guides

What can we do about errors in the official Oracle exam guides.
I am doing the 1z0-061 (Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals).
The 051 and 061 exams are exactly the same.
051 is written by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass and the 061 is written by Ramklass, but the thing is, both books have the same content word for word.
I found these errors in the books:
(1.) In chapter 08 (Using subqueries to solve problems) in both books it says "A subquery can be used to select rows for insertion but not in a VALUES clause of an INSERT statement".
But this is wrong. You CAN use a subquery in a VALUES clause: This will work ->
INSERT INTO values_test (f1) VALUES ((SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL));
However you have to have the 2 brackets in red.
(2.)
Chapter 2: Self test question 9
The following character literal expression is selected from the DUAL table: SELECT 'Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring' FROM DUAL; (Choose the result that is returned.)
A. An error would be returned due to the presence of two adjacent quotes
B. Coda's favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
C. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
D. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring'
The books says the correct answer is B. But this is wrong.
Correct answer is C, since the "" are 2 double quotes and they will appear as it is.
Even if "", is actually 4 single quotes the output then will be Coda''s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
which has 2 single quotes.
I wrote to the author (emai [email protected]) but got no reply.
How can we let Oracle certification know that there are errors in these books. This can affect the exam and can mean the difference between passing and failing.

>The book cover says "Oracle Press", meaning Official Oracle.
No -- the name does not mean that. 'Oracle Press' is a division of the McGraw-Hill publishing company that specializes in writing books for the Oracle suite of products. Oracle has close ties with the publisher and often supplies information to the authors that is not publicly available. However, Oracle is not responsible for the content of the books.
>If not, then what ARE the Official Oracle guides?
The only thing that you could call an 'Official' Oracle guide would be student guides developed by Oracle University for one of their courses. This content is supplied to attendees of the courses. The material is copyrighted and should not be available on the Web.

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.

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 ....

Completed OCA , need study material for OCP exam 1Z0-141

Hi,
As the thread title says.. I have completed my OCA certification for PL/SQL Developer.
Now i am preparing for 1Z0-141 ( Oracle 9i Forms Developer: Build Internet Applications), the problem here is that i couldn't find a book that will help me. Also can you please provide the link to the release which i should download so that i can practise.
Also, do i need to complete any Hands on training for completing the OCP Developer ( Forms ) track, because i dont see anything regarding that published on the certification path ?
Any help in this regard would be appriciated..
Thanks & Regards

The following book is for 1z0-131/1z0-132 but is still probablly useful. However it is difficult and expensive to get hold of and any second hand editions may be without the cdrom:
Oracle Certified Professional: Building Internet Applications I & II Exam Guide: ISBN: 9780072193336
Also:
(Reference: Oracle Certification Program - Oracle Forms: Build Internet Applications (1z0-141) - gives details on exam topics, materials and additional resources)
[http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_141]

OCP Exam documentation

Dear all,
I'm not sure whether this question is supposed to be published here. Please correct me if I am wrong in this question. I was reading the Oracle OCP SQL exam guide, when I faced a wrong "question" and surprisingly an "answer".
Page 139 question number
6: You develop the following SQL statement containing a group expression. Which line in the following select statement, when removed from the statement will correct the error:
SELECT DEPTNO, AVG(SAL) FROM EMP GROUP BY EMPNO;
A.select deptno, avg(sal).
B.from EMP.
C. group by EMPNO
D. There are no errors in this statement, therfore no clauses should be removed.
What is intersting in this question is that the answer is explained descriptive.
(according to ORacle 9 SQL exam Guide the correct answer is C!
Do you think it's right?
First of all can some one tell me what the correct answer is? Since I'm preparing myself for the OCP exam I would want to share this with you guys. Or if someone would know where is the best place to publish things that concerning exam doc mistakes?
Thanks

this question is not valid. just forget it...
The line which generates the error is the line A.
SQL> SELECT DEPTNO, AVG(SAL)
FROM EMP
GROUP BY EMPNO;
SELECT DEPTNO, AVG(SAL)
ERROR at line 1:ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expressionBut the question is not "what does generate the error", but which line would "correct" the statement when removed.
In which case, there is no valid answer.
SQL> SELECT DEPTNO, AVG(SAL)
2 FROM EMP;
SELECT DEPTNO, AVG(SAL)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00937: not a single-group group function
SQL> SELECT DEPTNO, AVG(SAL)
2 GROUP BY EMPNO;
GROUP BY EMPNO
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Newly Added Topics Missing From steve o'hearn Exam Guide (1Z0-047)

Hi,
I am planning to take exam 1Z0-047.
I got to se the exam guide for this,(OCA Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-047)) by Steve o'hearn in market.
But it seems that syllabus of the exam is modified on 15th september 2014; and newly added topics are NOT present in the exam guide.
Below are the objectives and topics I feel are missing from the book.
Restricting and Sorting Data
Use the SQL row limiting clause**
Create queries using the PIVOT and UNPIVOT clause**
Use pattern matching to recognize patterns across multiple rows in a table**
Displaying Data from Multiple Tables
Use the cross_outer_apply_clause**
Using Subqueries to Solve Queries
Create a lateral inline view in a query**
Using DDL Statements to Create and Manage Tables
Truncate tables, and recursively truncate child tables**
Use 12c enhancements to the DEFAULT clause, invisible columns, virtual columns and identity columns in table creation/alteration**
Manipulating Large Data Sets
Use explicit default values in INSERT and UPDATE statements**
We can find material on these topicsover internet(in fact I have actually worked on few of these topics already as part of my job.)
But i prefer referring to book as it helps to understand the scope.
I just joined the oracle forums,and not sure if I am placing this discussion on correct forum/category.
A humble request to advice if it is at wroing place.

I am just thinking what next course should I take ?
Immediate target will be obviously some PL SQL related test like 1Z0-147.
BUT what to do after that ?
In my work experinece so far, I have worked as a developer, senior developer(mainly in maintenace projects , both OLTP and OLAP projects I have worked for.
that is, small as well as relatively big data volumes.Right from simple DB to DW systems of big enterprise corporation where millions of transactions happen and enter into system each day). I have also participated in database designing when I worked on project where database was being designed from scratch. so, I am aiming/aspiring for a role something like Designer or architect roles in the long run.
I'm glad you found my page useful. I actually recommend 1Z0-144 over 1Z0-147. The two exams are equivalent in their results, but I feel 144 is the better exam. Also, 147 was almost retired at one point. OU backed off, but may put it back on the chopping block at any time. I wrote an article explaining why I prefer 144 here:
Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certification: 1Z0-147 or 1Z0-144?
As to the step after that, 1Z0-146 is the obvious one to gain the PL/SQL OCP. 147/144 will only gain the OCA-level cert.
If you want to end up as a designer or architect, eventually you must get into database design, which would argue pursuing the DBA track.
Millions of transactions implies a significant requirement for performance tuning which would argue for the SQL Tuning (1Z0-117) or performance certifications (1Z0-054/1Z0-064).
