Retirement of 9i DBA OCA and OCP and associated exams and also 1z0-147

This question hasnt been asked for a while, which I suppose means the numbers doing the followig exams must be diminishing:
1z0-007, 1z0-031, 1z0-032, 1z0-033, 1z0-147
I think there is now a fairly good case for these to be retired, assume that WDP courses for them have ceased; though vouchers may still be in existance.
I particularly wold like to see 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 retired as the far better and more modern equivalent exam 1z0-051 and 1z0-144 exist. IMHO These could probably be done on the normal 3 months noice.
While I think 1z0-031 could be ceasd at relatively short notice, the case for 1z0-032 having a longer period would be more useful, as people could be part way into a 9i DBA OCP and unable to complete in the 3 months.
IMHO it would be best to withdraw 1z0-031 first, or to give an extended retirement date for 1z0-032 and 1z0-033 of at least 6 months.
I guess of all these I would like 1z0-007 and 1z0-147 to be retired. IMHO They should have been put to grass long ago.

Thanks for your comments on these exams. We are actually currently in the middle of a project to evaluate a number of exams to see which ones need to be identified for upcoming retirement. I will pass your comments along to the team conducting this review.
Thanks,

Can a Mac and it's associated iPhone and iPad be authorized for more than 1 Apple ID at the same time?

I want to give my wife and daughters their own Apple ID's and have them purchase stuff using the new one, but I don't want them to lose all of the music and videos they bought using my ID for the last 8 years.
The main reason I want to do this, is so that when iCloud comes out, I heard that the synching feature is going to be keyed to your Apple ID. My wife, and both of my daughters have always just used my ID to buy everything, and I'm affraid all of our Macs and iPhones and iPods will synch together.
If I gave each of them their own ID, and they started buying all of their music on the new ID, could their Macs be authorized for the new ID and mine at the same time? It would still be under the 5 computer limit per account.
Thanks,
Kevin

yes, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple ID's.

This is probably less of an issue than the 9i retirements as there is unlikely to be too many mid track with a lot of exams to pass.
Wrt DBA OCP: The upcoming 1z0-034/1z0-067 also provide an escape route from those on 9i/10g DBA OCA with the 9i/10g exams to DBA OCP retired; however they require the authorized course to be against 11g/12c .... which might be a gotcha for people in that position. ( These OCA upgrade exams set a new precedent .... they probably should help people feel they have not been cut off from a retirement .... and perhaps with the increasing cost of exams that is relevant for some ).

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto. but i cannot update it and or access my photos. Help. thanks.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...

Question about oca and Ocp 10 g dba

Hi all
I want to prepare DBA 10g exam, OCA and ocp .
Can I provide exam 1z0-007 instead of 1z0-051 ?
Thx alot

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be gathering from that article except that it is obsolete. It's from About.com, not Oracle.com and so is not definitive (and even Oracle's website occasionally has errors). In five minutes I could get you ten articles from the Web about Oracle 8i certifications, and they've been retired for years.
How about this for a definitive link. It's from the Oracle site and specifically notes that 1Z0-007 retired on July 31, 2013.

Regarding OCA and OCP certification

I have a Master's degree in computer science and i know the basics of sql and pl/sql and right now i am going to train up on pl/sql. I want to start a career as pl/sql developer and if we do certification it can be some added advantage so i am thinking of that and i am in a confusion some are saying OCA and some are saying OCP and i heard that OCA is for developers and OCP is for DBA's

Don't start a second thread for the same thing. Stick to your original thread...

thnaks and best regards
kashifahmed

Hi,
Get the OCA and OCP certification books. Look on Amazon for them. I used them and passed first time without any issues. All of the material, plus some on the job knowledge, and you will get it done easily. Using other people's notes is most likely going to be unreliable compared to using an official exam book to be honest.

Regarding 11g OCA and OCP exams

Hi,
I have 10g OCA. Now i am planning to write 11g OCA and OCP. Do i need to write 11g OCA or can i upgrade my 10g OCA to 11g.
Can any one please let me know how to prepare for 11g OCA and OCP. any web links or any text books do i need to follow in order to get good score in both certifications

There is no upgrade path for the OCA certification. You'd need to take the 11g OCA exams. Assuming we're talking about the DBA track (there are many different tracks), you should have passed one of the SQL exams when you got your 10g OCA so you probably only need to take one more exam for the 11g OCA.
All of Oracle's documentation is online at http://tahiti.oracle.com. You should be able to find more than enough information about all the exam topics there.

Interview HOT TOPICS( SQL, WS1(oca), WS2(ocp) and RAC)

hii there,
Myself a
OCP + Pursuing RAC certification ( Training Over )
I am at the very important phase of my life . I will be having Interview on Oracle DBA ( as a consultant ) , They demand me knowledge of SQL , WS1 admin(OCA), WS2 admin(OCP) and ALSO RAC.
Now please can u guys suggest me what are the really HOT topics ?
They said Interview will be full Technical and they want a some one to handle their consultancy of their clients.
Thanks in Advance

Your handle is newbieDBA whereas you claimed to be OCP and on the track of RAC certification.
Where's the truth ? To my point of view, you cannot be a newbie and OCP. There's a paradox. At the least.
If you are really what you said you are, then you know the hot topics. If you don't, better to skip the interview.
Good luck,
Nicolas.

OCA and OCP Post-nominal letters

Hi All,
I recently passed OCA and OCP for Java 7. I was wondering if there is an official industry accepted standard to place these qualifications after your name.
I saw Bert Bates, co-author of the Java 7 study guide, placed:
Bert Bates OCA OCP.
Is this convention authorised by Oracle or do we have to specify the product and version that the certification was given to. If the latter is the case, what would be the official post-nominal letters for OCA and OCP for Java 7.
Thanks.

There is no defined standard that I am aware of for that. Certainly none shows in Certview or is easily locatable in the FAQ.
There are standards for displaying the logos -- mainly about the size and color:

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"

Difference between Upgrade to Oracle 11g Exam and the OCP 11g exam

Is there a difference in the Oracle Database 11g exam and OCP 11g exam?
Say for example, i am an OCP 10g and I took the New Features Course for 11g. Then I will upgrade to OCP 11g
or
I will take all the courses for 11g then take OCP (do not worry, money is not an issue in this case)
Is there a difference between the two in terms of the examination?
Will the exams for Upgrade to OCP11g and OCP11g the same?
Which one is harder? or easier?
Thanks. hope to see your feedback

I am sorry. But i din't quite understand the explanation.
Correct me please if i am wrong.
As I understand you:
1. I am on OCP 10g
2. I will need to take the exams (no need to get additional training) that need to be taken to be an OCP 11g which includes the following:
- 1z0-051: Intro to SQL 11g
- 1z0-052: Admin I 11g (if passed then OCA)
- 1z0-053: Admin II 11g (if passed then OCP)
Is this correct?Can I put it this way.
I apologise if i am being explicit here but I am just being able to cover all angles.
If a person is 10g OCP DBA (and has proof of this as a valid certificate from oracle or can see this on their certification status at certview.oracle.com .... I say this because some people with a 1z0-043 exam pass only may incorrectly claim they are a 10g DBA OCP) then the following routes from 10g DBA OCP to 11g DBA OCP are possible:
1) By passing 1z0-050 ... the 11g DBA OCP should be granted with no further requirements other than the 10g DBA OCP
2) By passing 1z0-052 and 1z0-053 ....... HOWEVER .....
..... It is possilble some 10g DBA OCP may not have passed an SQL exam in the past (1z0-051/047/-007/001) and if this is the case one of 1z0-051/1z0-047/1z0-007 will also need to be passed on this route (I would recommend 1z0-051).
( Essentially route (2) is valid for any DBA OCP; there is a 1z0-055 single upgrade exam for 9i DBA OCP's)
It is recommended to find and check your existing certification under certification history (+not exam history ... that doesnt matter for this purpose+) under certview.oracle.com before starting on this route.

Uday0) Warning: Dont publish your Oracle Testing Id. or Prometric Id. on this website, it would be a breach of the NDA you have agreed to.
0.1) Register with certview.oracle.com ... it helps to know where you are at..
1) Identify your Prometric Number that you took your prometric exam under.
2) Identify your Oracle Testing Id. you have under Pearson VUE.
3) If they are the same all is ok.
4) If they are different full details of both will need to goto Pearson VUE requesting a merge. (I haven't recently checked the FAQs for updates on this procedure.
5) Dont try to request a merge while you certview regsitration is in progress.
