REG : DBA Certification

Hi All,
Im currently working in Remote desktop management. And have completed 9i OCA last month. Now i want to get into oracle DB administration and would require your advice.
Please suggest me whether i have to continue doing 9i OCP or concentrate on 10G....If 10G how do i go about it. Im still a beginner as far as oracle DB is concerned and require your valuable advice. I really want to get into oracle DB.
Pls advice !
Regards,
Balaji.

I don't think you should drop 9i and go with 10g, as I already mentioned, but I think that the 10g track only has two exams!? Please correct me if i am wrong. This would mean that to get certified on 10g, you would only need to take 2 tests, although you would be retested on things you have already been certified for.
However, if you continue with 9i, you will need to take 3 tests to get to the same level of certification, DBA fundamentals II, performance tuning, then the upgrade from 9i to 10g.
I have passed 3 of the 9i OCP tests and only have 1 left ( i take the test tomorrow, so I'm pretty nervous right now), so for me this would not be an option, to drop 9i and go with 10g, but in your case, it isn't that clear cut and you should weigh up what your goal is. If you need to show potential employers competence with latest versions, and that is the only goal, then go for 10g. If you need the knowledge for a 9i production system then stick with 9i. I would be dubious about taking a track with only 2 exams...looks like Oracle has crammed in the knowledge a bit too much? You probably still have to learn the same stuff, but you are tested on much less, unless they have increased exam time to over 2 hours?

  • Reg Oracle Apps DBA Certification

    Hi,
    I am Certified for DBA on both 9i and 10g. Now I am planning to do Oracle Apps DBA Certification. Is that necessary I need to the Database Funda I and Funda II Exam again. Is that 11i Exam is alone is enough to be Oracle Apps DBA?
    Pls Clarify me.
    Thanks

    Since you are an Oracle 9i & 19g Certified, then you are directly eligible to write the Apps DBA Exam - 1z0-233.
    Pre-requisite for 1Z0-233 exam is that one should have earned Oracle9i and 10g Database Administrator Certified Professionals can achieve an upgrade to the Oracle 11i Applications Database Administrator Certified Professional credential through passing the exam Oracle 11i Install, Patch and Maintain Applications - 1Z0-233.

  • Need infos on Oracle DBA certification exam

    Hi all,
    I want to pass an Oracle 1àg DBA certification exam but i don't know what exam should i have to pass. on 2005 i've already passed teh exam IZ0-001 SQL and PLSL for oracle 9i but now i want to pass an OCA or OCP certification. can some recommand me which exam should pass.
    I mean can i directly pass exam for OCP or i have to pass the OCA exam befvore OCP.
    I want to know if OCA is prerequisite exam to pass OCP.
    Is there a documents or any link which explain that process.
    Thanks.

    Firstly, you must pass anyone of the below exams, they are non-proctored exams and you can take them by online. Take an account from http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle/ and register anyone of the below exams.(Note:Enough only one exam you want)
    1Z0-007Introduction to Oracle9i SQL or
    1Z0-047Oracle Database SQL Expert or
    1Z0-051Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
    And later yo will take "Oracle Database 11g: Administration I 1Z0-052" exam. If you pass this exam you will be an OCA.
    After all you must complete one of the approved instructor-led online or in-class courses. This course is mandatory. After the course is finished you must take
    "Oracle Database 11g: Administration II 1Z0-053" exam.
    And the end you are an OCP, congratulations! :)

  • Can I attend Oracle 10g DBA course & attempt DBA Certification for 11g

    Hi,
    I am already OCP-PLSQL and want to attempt OCP-DBA stream. I enquired at various oracle education centers and came to know that all are conducting courses for Oracle-10g.
    So can I attend Oracle 10g DBA course (Mandatory Course) and attempt DBA Certification for 11g. (1ZO-052 and 1ZO-053)
    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Vikrant PatilYou can do these thing, and Oracle will take your money for it, but you will receive neither 11g DBA OCP certication nor 10g DBA OCP Certification at the end of it. So it isnt what you would ant to do.
    Oracle Unviersity would provide the 11g DBA training courses ... No problem.
    however I suspect what you term oracle education centers are probaby institutes offering WDP Courses at 10g DBA (on the cheap). See http://workforce.oracle.com
    If you do 10g training then that will only be valid for 10g DBA OCP Certification .. so you would need to take 1z0-042 and 1z0-043 (I guess you already have an SQL Exam pass). Then 1z0-050 can upgrade it to 11g DBA OCP.
    (Note that it does not affect you, but the converse is typically true .... version X+1 training will often be acceptable for a version X certification.)

  • 10g DBA Certification Question

    Back in August 2008, I passed the 2 DBA Certification Tests but as part of receiving the OCP certificate, I had to take one more course. Well, I never found a time to be able to take the course to receive the OCP credential. I was wondering if I can still take one of the approved courses and receive the OCP credential still. If so, I will take it this fall.
    I have the OCA credential when I passed the first test. I passed the 2nd test a couple months later. I just never found time to take the class so, I'm hoping I can still do this and receive the credential.
    Any feedback is appreciated.

    ChrisYou may choose a course off of the course list for 10g DBA OCP ..... if these are becoming rare an equivalent 11g DBA may be accepted instead ... check first if you think you have specific case (but not vice versa for those seeking 11g DBA OCP a 10g course would not do).
    You have until the certification expires to submit a course and get it verified.

  • DBA Certification Exam

    Could anyone tell me aout DBA Ceertification Exam. I would like to take it up in the near future. If anyone has sample questions,please post it.Also suggest me some useful sites to prepare for the Exam.
    TIA,
    Oracle user

    You will have to take the following courses and eventually pass exams in each of these. I presume you are thinking of Oracle 8i DBA certification.
    a) Introduction to SQL/PL-SQL
    b) Oracle architecture
    c) Backup and Recovery
    d) Performance and Tuning
    e) Network Administration
    You can either attend Oracle classes or study on your own.

  • Reg: OCP certification.

    i am in application development for the past 6 years, but in
    dbms platform. now i've changed my platform to vb/oracle.
    i am well versed in software design and database design.
    i wants to know how far OCP certification will be helpful for me
    in my career.
    my email and chat id. is [email protected]
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    First of all, you have not mentioned about OCP for what ?
    -- Application developer ?
    -- DBA ??
    -- DBO ??
    If you are changing your front-end other Oracle forms with
    backend Oracle database, you may not consider OCP.
    If you want to concerntrate more on backend, you might think of
    DBA or DBOs. That will be helpful for your career. Good luck...!

  • DBA Certification

    I want to know if there is someone who can tell me the path, some recommendation, about how to be OCP. I bought self-study cd's but I think that it is not to be enough, can someone tell me what test talking about simulation Is the one to be my trainer.

    No, I am not a OCA yet, I know that there are 2
    exams, can you tell me if those exams are difficult.
    how difficult are those tests?Not sure if you mean 2 exams total (10g DBA OCP) or 2 exams before OCA level (9i DBA)... Either way, from certification path pages you could visit the requirements for each exam and go through the Exam topics, to get an overview of what each exam covers.
    Also be sure to use the Documentation when learning about the different areas.
