Oracle Reference Books

My new job no longer uses Oracle. I have like-new reference books from Oracle Press available on E-bay. (Good way to get good books on the cheap.) If interested, here are the links;

We are not supposed to use this forum for any commercial purpose, other than praising Oracle and exhorting people to buy Larry a new yacht by purchasing more licences, options, upgrades, support, etc :P
I think there's enough clutter on this forum already without encouraging people to post eBay links here as well. If you don't know how to search eBay, there's plenty of advice out there.

I confirm: the C.Antognini's book is the best one and very easy to read it.My personal opinion is that Cristian's book is the one of the best because it is written in the manner that everybody is capable to understand. I am very proud that Cris asked me to be one of the technical reviewers of his book and I really enjoyed reading every chapter. The best chapter by my opinion is his explanation of how one should read the execution plan - I have never seen a better explanation.
I think Millsap's book is not up to date.Why do you think his book is not up to date? The theory written in the book hasn't changed. And also the wait interface is still there and has the same problems/benefits, just more and more events are now implemented. What has really changed is the Oracle database which in release 10 and 11 finally started to use the "response time analysis" for performance analysis (v$active_session_history, AWR, ADDM..). But his book requires more time to study and one should return back several times to re-read some parts and really understand them.
Jonathan's books are excellent but they also require more time to really understand them. His books are not of those ones which you can read while laying in the bed with the flue.

Reference book for Oracle Linux exam 1Z0-402

Hi gurus!
Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?
Thanks
Mokarem

Can you please give me useful reference books which cover the al topics for Oracle Linux Exam 1Z0-402 preparation?By itself, 1Z0-402 does not grant any certification. Presumably you are going for Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate. That certification path also requires passing 1Z0-403. However, you can skip 1Z0-402 if you already have one of several other industry Linux certifications (LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell). My recommendation would be to go for one of these certifications, then skip straight to the 1Z0-403 exam. I suggest that for several reasons:
1. There is a lot more study resources for exams like CompTIAs Linux+ available.
2. The other Linux certifications are better known than Oracle's.
3. Since 1Z0-402 by itself does not grant a certification, going this route gets you two certifications for the price of one.

ORACLE 10g BOOKS

Hi Gurus,
Kindly suggest me few oracle 10g books.
Regards,
Umair

Umair
It depends on your level of oracle knowledge, oracle documentation is getting better release by release. With Oracle by Example series it is getting much easier then past to learn new things about oracle. I suggest first oracle documentation and then:
For general
Oracle 10g complete reference much much better then last 2 editions.
and for specific many are out. Tell specific topic, technology or tool then it will be easy to suggest.

Oracle Spatial book sample application

Hi all,
On Monday I received the Oracle Spatial book and I would like to post a topic about it. First of all I would like to congratulate the authors for their huge effort doing this excellent book. I think it will be very useful to the people that works with Spatial.
Next, my question is about the sample application showed in chapter 12 (SampleApplication.jsp). I run correctly mapviewer in my server and I can do the other examples, nevertheless when I want to start this application I recieve this error message about 'jdbc/spatial10g not found' in my web browser:

I am using Java 2 Runtime Environment version 1.4.2_02 and I think I have correctly configured the shared libraries in the oc4j server (sdoapi.jar, sdonm.jar, ojdbc14.jar, etc.). Anyway, I think I will be missing something but I don't know what.
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me.
Juan M.

Hi Juan
Thanks for purchasing our book, and thanks also for the kind words.
I think I know what that problem is.
The application uses the network API. That API needs a database connection for the initial loading of the network. The connection used is provided by OC4J. This is done in the following code lines in the SampleApplication.jsp:
// Get JDBC database connection
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup("jdbc/"+dataSource.toLowerCase());
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
// Load network
net = NetworkManager.readNetwork(conn, networkName);
In other words, for this to work, you need a datasource defined for OC4J, called "jdbc/spatial10g" (since dataSource is defined by default to be "SPATIAL10G".
To define the datasource, refer to chapter 11, page 499, at the bottom of the page. You need to add the following to your data-sources.xml config file ($OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml):
<data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="spatial10g"
location="jdbc/spatial10gCore"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/spatial10gXA"
ejb-location="jdbc/spatial10g"
connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="spatial"
password="spatial"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl101"
inactivity-timeout="30"
/>
(Adapt the url parameter to match your database definition)
Thanks for pointing out this problem. We will update the errata page (http://www.apress.com/book/errataDisplay.html?bID=315&sID=2374) with clearer instructions.

Oracle Press book gives incorrect information about when you are certiifed

SQL Certified Expert Exam Gudie: ISBN: 978-0-07-161421-4
Page: 12
... and I left (the testing center) a happy and Certified SQL Expert.
THIS IS WRONG.
When you leave the exam you receive a score report indicating you have passed the exam (I beleive subject to review).
BUT
You are not certified until either:
- (1) you receive a success kit from Oracle or
- (2) it is shown on the Oracle Certview Database.
The distinction is really important as until that time you have agreed not to represent yourself as certified.
This should have read something like .....
... and I left (the testing center) happy knowing that in a few weeks time my certification success should be confirmed in the Oracle Certview Database and my Certification success kits should arrive in a few weeks.
I am forever screaming at people on the Oracle Forums not to represent themselves as certified until they get a success kit or see it on Certview and an Oracle Press book goes against this!!!!!!
=:-O
I know this is possibly apparent nit-picking in the case of this certification ... but it isn't. I've never heard of it happening, but the exam score can be revised until its confirmed (not that I've ever seen this happen ... and wold be almost impossible except for cheating). For instance the exam delivery software/configuration could glitch and deliver 1z0-051 questions instead of 1z0-047 invalidating ones result. I know we all know this is impossible but would you be prepared to stake all your worldly goods that this has never happened and will never happen.

Report painter reference book

Hi,
I looking for a step-by-step (details) report painter reference book & link. Any recomendation?
Thank you

You can do a lot of reading on the subject but the readying tends to dry...
Another easy way to learn is to look at a SAP delivered report to see how the rows, columns, and its General Area Selection are defined.
For example, for a cost element/cost centre report, GRR3: display 1STD-001 in library 1VK.
Create a Z* report from copying an existing report, pay attention to the variables, version, and value type (1 = plan, 4 = actual)...
There are enough reports in the report libraries that will "guide" you to define your own.
Best of luck.

Anyone Recommend a Reference Book for Pages?

Specifically, I'm interested in a reference book for the latest version of Pages--just downoaded it from the App Store--for creating books to be exported to epub and viewable in the iBook app. I'm a print book designer of 22 years' experience, so I don't really need a beginners book on Pages unless it really, really covers making book for export to epub.
Preferably something I can read on my iPad in either the iBook app, the Kindle app, or even as a PDF. (A public doman--free--book would be really nice at the moment.
Thank you.

You should also ask in the forum for Pages:

Reference book

Dear abapers!!
Need your advice!!
im planning to take up sap certified development associate (c_taw12_731) certification test so i was wondering whether a previous version reference book is valid to use??
i have 2+ years of ABAP development experience.
im on a saudi arabian residence visa so i can take the test exclusively without training thats confirmed from SAP middleeast.
however i came across a 2005edition reference book & im wondering is it still a valid reference book for the test considering the updates in the technology.
the 2005 reference book has taw10_1, taw10_2, taw10_3.
taw12_1, taw12_2.
if yes, pls advice the topics its missing out compared to the c_taw12_731 syllabus.
please suggest.
Best Regards.

Hi,
You can check the material that is covered at the SAP Training website:
https://training.sap.com/shop/certification/c_taw12_731-sap-certified-development-associate---abap-with-sap-netweaver-73…
ABAP doesn't change much over time, so all the study material you can find will help you prepare.
Try to find as many (realistic) sample questions as you can. They are very good at helping you study
Good luck!
Paul
