Query Regarding the Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA

Hi All
I am planning to go for the certification "Oracle PL/SQL Developer OCA "
But I am not sure what is value of this certification in market.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance
Amit

My view is this: The more you can put on your resume, usually the better. By itself, its not worth anything. Combined with several years of experience, it could make a difference. If you go for a job and have 5 years of experience and a certification, and the other candidate just has 5 years, as long as you both interview well, I'd say you have a slightly better shot because you have that extra thing on your resume.
You need to look at it in that respect - but its not a magic key to get you any job. Of course different countries may be different in how they view certiciations.

  • Install Oracle XE, SQL Developer, and Toad on the same machine?

    I have been trying to install Oracle SQL Developer, Toad, and Oracle Express on my work computer. Installing SQL Developer and Toad was pretty straightforward, and I was able to browse the XE database with SQL Developer. But after installing Toad, problems started. Toad was using Oracle XE's registry settings to locate ORACLE_HOME and oci.dll. So I tried changing the settings for Oracle XE in the registry. Toad now works, but not Oracle XE. And while I was going through this all, I even had a time when I had Toad and oracle xe working, but not SQL Developer. It almost looks like you can choose two of the products, but not all three.
    So, my question to the community at large is "Can it be done?". In what directories do you have each product installed? What environment variables do you have set? Where is your tnsnames.ora? What Oracle registry settings do you have set (namely HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE)?
    I can post my current settings, but I've been through so many iterations that these current settings don't really matter that much.
    Here are the details I am looking for
    Path to sqldeveloper.exe
    Path to oracle.exe (for Oracle XE)
    Environment Variables
    ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_BASE
    TNS_ADMIN
    PATH (just the oracle stuff)
    Registry Settings
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORACLE_BASE
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\TNS_ADMIN
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\OLEDB
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\KEY_XE\ORAMTS_CP_TRACE_DIR

    I don't use toad, but there should be no reason why you can't install all 3. SQL Developer is a very clean install and affects nothing else. It doesn't add to the path, or create any registry entries except for file associations.
    A toad installation should pick up your oracle client (in this case the XE code). I am curious as to why you felt you had to change registry settings. What problem were you trying to fix?
    My recommendation would be to uninstall everything, clean the registry and reinstall in the order XE, Toad, SQL Developer. Test in between installations and seek help for problems as you find them. Bear in mind that this is the forum for SQL Developer. QUestions about Oracle XE would be better answered in the dedicated forum, or in the Installation forum, and questions about Toad in a toad forum.

  • Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate

    I am planning to take the exam for "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate".
    There are 2 exams under this certification. The first exam can be taken from any of these 4- 1Z0-007 or 1Z0-007 or 1Z0-047 or 1Z0-051. The second exam is 1Z0-147. But does any of these 2 exams need a mandatory online/inclass course offered from Oracle?
    I appreciate if anyone who has taken this exam could help me and explain this.

  • Query regarding the data type for fetcing records from multiple ODS tables

    hey guys;
    i have a query regarding the data type for fetcing records from multiple ODS tables.
    if i have 2 table with a same column name then in the datatype under parent row node i cant add 2 nodes with the same name.
    can any one help with some suggestion.

    Hi Mudit,
    One option would be to go as mentioned by Padamja , prefxing the table name to the column name or another would be to use the AS keyoword in your SQL statement.
    AS is used to rename the column name when data is being selected from your DB.
    So, the query  Select ename as empname from emptable will return the data with column name as empname.

  • How to buy vouchers for Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate ?

    I want to become Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate.
    For this, I want to write 1Z0-007 (Introduction to Oracle9i SQL) and
    1Z0-147 (Program with PL/SQL) tests.
    I went through so many posts in the forum, but I didn't get the required answers.
    Kindly reply my queries:
    1) Will clearing the above two tests will make me Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate?
    2) Should I purchase two separate vouchers for those two tests?
    3) Should I give both the tests one by one at the same time or can I give them on different days?
    Please answer my questions. Or atleast guide me where can I get the answers?

    Kindly reply my queries:
    1) Will clearing the above two tests will make me Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate?These exams fulfill the requirements of the certification which should be awarded if you pass the exam. Even if you pass the exams you are not certified until you received confirmation from Oracle via a success kit or Certview that you are certified
    2) Should I purchase two separate vouchers for those two tests?In my opinion there is usually little advantage in buying vouchers; but you may have different situation with your particular situation. Vouchers also may go wrong on people from time to time. Probably the excpetion for vouchers being good is when discounted vouchers are offered as part of training.
    See: http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle
    3) Should I give both the tests one by one at the same time or can I give them on different days?Best practice for ordinary mortals is probably to take exams on different days. However as you are choosing 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 and not the more modern choices of 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 I shall leave that to yourself

    Let take an exapmle if i had created Purchase Order having fields in content tab as 1.Item No. 2.Quantity 3.Unit Proce   4.Total   5. Location.
    While Login in User manager i set these fields only for Purchase order , but when i login from other user and open the similar purchase order the defaults fields are also seen including  above 4 fieds .
    Now my question is how to set the User choice fiels for the particular form that are common to all users.
    Means whenever i login in any user and opens the same document the same fields should be seen....Thanksssss.........

    You have to login with each and every user and do the Form Settings of every forms, so that all the forms look same for all the users.
    This is a manual job and you have do do it with every user login.

  • Query regarding the Node manager configuration(WLS and OAM Managed server)

    Query regarding the Node manager configuration(WLS and OAM Managed server):
    1) In the nodemanager.properties I have added the ListenAddress:myMachineName and ListenPort: 5556
    My setup : One physical Linux machine(myMachineName) has : WLS admin server, managed server(OAM 11G) and nodemanager.No clustered environment.
    2) nodemanager.log has the following exception when I start the oam_server1 using EM(Enterprise Manager11g):

    Default port on which node manager listen for requests is localhost:5556.I have changed it to point to my machine. The port should be of WLS admin server or it should be the managed server port?
    3) I have started the NodeManager using the startNodeManager.sh script.
    4) The admin server port is 7001 and the oam managed server port is 14100.
    Any inputs on what might be wrong in the setup will be helpful.Thanks !

    By using netstat -anp|grep 5556 you can check which process on your machine is using the 5556 port.

  • Where is the oracle.xml.sql.query package?

    Hi,
    I have downloaded the xmlparser_v2_0_2_9.zip. I hoped I have everything to compile the example for retrieving XML document with an sql query. However, the jar file is missing the entire package oracle.xml.sql.query which contains for instance the crucial class OracleXMLQuery. Does anyone know where I could get this package - is it part of another download that I have to do, or can I buy it anywhere? Thanks for your help.

  • Cannot view the tables in SQL developer

    Hi everybody,
    I just installed SQL developer and connected to my oracle DB but I am not able to see the tables..I can execute though any SQL statements...
    I thought of installing Oracle Client but nothig changed... what could be the reason ???

    What do you get by running:
    with tabs as (
    select t.*, rownum rn -- not merge
    from sys.all_tables t
    where owner = :SCHEMA
    ), objs as (
    select o.*, rownum rn -- not merge
    from sys.all_objects o
    where owner = :SCHEMA
    AND O.OBJECT_TYPE = 'TABLE'
    AND O.GENERATED = 'N'
    AND O.OBJECT_NAME NOT IN (SELECT OBJECT_NAME FROM RECYCLEBIN)
    AND O.OBJECT_NAME NOT IN (SELECT MVIEW_NAME FROM SYS.ALL_MVIEWS WHERE :SCHEMA = OWNER)
         AND O.OBJECT_NAME NOT IN (SELECT QUEUE_TABLE from all_queue_tables WHERE :SCHEMA = OWNER)
         AND not ( object_name like 'AQ$_%_G'
    or object_name like 'AQ$_%_H'
    or object_name like 'AQ$_%_I'
    or object_name like 'AQ$_%_S'
    or object_name like 'AQ$_%_T' )
    AND ( user = :SCHEMA or not object_name like 'BIN$%' ) -- user != :SCHEMA --> object_name not like 'BIN$%'
    -- RECYCLEBIN is USER_RECYCLEBIN!
    ) select * from (
    SELECT o.OBJECT_NAME, o.OBJECT_ID ,'' short_name, t.partitioned,t.iot_type, o.OWNER OBJECT_OWNER, o.CREATED, o.LAST_DDL_TIME
    FROM OBJS O , tabs t
    WHERE o.object_name = t.table_name
    union all
    SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_ID , syn.SYNONYM_NAME short_NAME,
    t.partitioned,t.iot_type, SYN.TABLE_OWNER OBJECT_OWNER, o.CREATED, o.LAST_DDL_TIME
    FROM sys.all_objects O, sys.user_synonyms syn,sys.all_tables t
    WHERE syn.table_owner = o.owner
    and syn.TABLE_NAME = o.object_NAME
    and o.object_name = t.table_name
    and :INCLUDE_SYNS = 1
    and :SCHEMA = USER
    This is the underlying query in the latest version 1.5.4 with update 2. So if that works, just install that version. If not, use it to investigate where it fails.
