Sql 11g -1z0-051

Hi,
I am planning to the 1z0-051 exam.
Can anyone suggest the single row functions that I should focus on.
If posible send the list of functions.
Thanks.
Regards,
Manoj.

This is a great place to start:

All functions are useful.

  • Contents of 1z0-051 exam in all-in-one book?

    Hello everyone,
    I am new at this community and I am thinking off doing de OCA exam. For this reason I have recently bought the "oca/ocp oracle database 11g all-in-one exam guide" but I don't know which part refers to de SQL Fundamentals (1z0-051). It is possble to know what chapters refers to each exam 1Z0-051, 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053 ? Maybe it is a foolish question but I have been looking for the answer unsuccessfully for hours.
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Ferran

    It is really important to find the authorative source for the exam topics:
    Goto:
    http://certification.oracle.com
    .... and look up those exams and their associated topics there. Exam topics can sometimes change after books are published, so it is important to double check on Oracle's Website.
    I've not looked at that combined guide myself, but the first part will realate to the SQL topics of 1z0-051. The switch to the database archecture of part 2 should be obvious. The chapters tend to align well with the topics on the exam website.

  • Could I take 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-047 together?

    Hi, I am currently planning to take a Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate. At first, I plan to take the path of 1Z0-047 + 1Z0-144 which leads to this certification, because the 1Z0-047 itself is also leading to another cert (Oracle SQL Expert cert). So if I take this path, I would end up with two certifications (Oracle SQL Expert cert and PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate)
    However, people keep on telling me that 1Z0-047 is very difficult, saying that 1Z0-051 is much easier if I want to guarantee a PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate.
    So, is it possible that I take all three exams (1Z0-051, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-144)? I am thinking that taking 1Z0-051 as a kind of "practice" because it is an online exam and the exam scope looks easy to me. Also I have some budgets allocated to me so I don't mind spend a little bit extra money to Oracle exams.
    I'm just wondering whether two of them (051, 047) are mutually exclusive in the exam policy or something.

    So, is it possible that I take all three exams (1Z0-051, 1Z0-047, 1Z0-144)?Yes, you may take both 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-047. In fact, I would highly recommend taking 1Z0-051 before taking 1Z0-047. You have heard correctly, 047 is a much more difficult exam and requires a considerably higher level of SQL experience/knowledge. If you look at the study topics for both tests, you'll see that 1Z0-047 includes essentially all of the topics from 1Z0-051, and has another thirty-some topics in addition. Studying for 1Z0-051 is in itself preparation for taking the expert test. I discuss the two exams in an article here:

  • Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I 1Z0-051 Question

    i bought the OCA Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) and i am not sure do i have to read the whole book ! or just go through the exam objectives table ? because the book covers lots of topics that's not in the exam and i am kind of tight on time if any one had the book or used it pls help
    To make it more clear i have a table in the book that shows each exam topic with page number next to it Like this:
    Restricting and Sorting Data
    [ ]      Limit the rows that are retrieved by a query Pg:104
    [ ]      Sort the rows that are retrieved by a query Pg:136
    [ ]      Use ampersand substitution to restrict and sort output at runtime
    Using Single-Row Functions to Customize Output
    [ ]      Describe various types of functions available in SQL Pg:170
    [ ]      Use character, number, and date functions in SELECT statements Pg:177

    Yes indeed. Practice at work (and elsewhere) is the best way to learn and ro reinforce learning.
    However, the more you read, the more you will be exposed to ideas and variations. Eventually you will find that many of the books have errors in various places. You will be winning when you are able to read and identify the errors AND explain why they are errors.
    The way your original question was written implied that you were after the minimum effort to pass an exam. Your last reply implies a different, and better, attitude.
    My suggestion therefore is to concentrate on the actual examples, but as quickly as possible expand to areas of interest. Explore as much as you possibly can, but make it a 'learning exploration' byut asking yourself questions and then investigating what the answer is.
    Also note that in Oracle nearly every answer has an exception. The best of the best know this and try very hard to understand when things go according to plan and when (and why) expections occur.

  • May i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) exam or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051)

    Hi all,
    Please suggest me, may i go for sql expert(1Z0-047) Test or 11g sql fundamentals 1(1Z0-051) Test with
    oracle Administration 1(1Z0-042) Test.
    Which will be the best option.
    Thanks & Regards

    You may use either exam along with the Oracle Administration 1 (1Z0-042) exam if your goal is to get a 10g DBA OCA credential.
    The SQL Expert exam is quite a bit more challenging than the SQL Fundamentals exam. On the other hand, the SQL Expert exam gives you a separate SQL Certified Expert credential. If you can pass it, you should take the SQL Expert exam.

  • OCA: 1Z0-047 Oracle DB SQL Export vs. 1Z0-051 11g: SQL Fundamentals I

    Hi All
    Passed my 1Z0-042 today (now that's a monkey off my back, so off to celebrate with something red, fermented & >12%ABV!), and am now looking at which other exam to take to complete the OCA.
    Now for me, this looks like a no-brainer....
    1Z0-047 has a much wider topic list (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_047) than that of 1Z0-051 (http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_051), and has a pass mark of 66% against 60% for the 11g, and is over 40GBP cheaper (I assume because 1Z0-051 is non-proctered).
    Am I missing something really obvious??
    Hic!
    bt

    >
    >
    >
    Also, if I buy the non-proctered exam today (to head off any further nasty future prices rises...grrr...), how long is it valid for i.e. how long do I have before I need to take it online?
    I thnk its unlikely (but I could be wrong) the prices will change much again (particularly upwards) for a bit except/unless currency exchange variations. So I wouldn't rush to book. I think online you can book immediately, and for proctored you should normally have slots a few days in advance at most 5 day centres apart from near end of terms and quarters and possibly on fridays or at the end of special offers.
    Although the 1z0-051 is 'non-proctored' I believe it can also be taken proctored for the same price. Doing it online has risks of distraction and any connection issues may be your problem. If I did it online I am sure there would be a someone wishing explore the local electricity substation or play with a JCB when I was attempting to take my exam.

  • Does 1Z0-001 fit the requirement of 11g DB OCP requirement (1Z0-051)?

    Dear Sir:
       Hi, I would like to ask 3 questions about the certification requirement of 11g DB OCP.
    Please advice me what do I have to do to prepare the OCP exam, thanks a lot in advance.
    Q1:
    Does 1Z0-001 fit the requirement of 11g DB OCP requirement (pass 1Z0-001 = pass 1Z0-051)?
    AFAIK, 11g DB OCP requires passing 3 exams: 1Z0-051 (SQL), 1Z0-052 (AW1), 1Z0-053 (AW2) and finishing a hand-on course at least.
    I have passed the 1Z0-001 (Introduction to SQL ans PL/SQL) many years ago.
    After searching the discussion in the community, I've found 2 relative:
    https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2526631  It said :"1Z0-001 will satisfy the SQL requirement."
    https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2467872 It said : "I can confirm that the 001 exam will fulfill the SQL exam requirement if it was passed before it retired."
    I was confused on that. Please help me to clear it.
    Do I have to prepare the exam 1Z0-051 since I have passed 1Z0-001 (an retired exam)?
    Q2:
    Please confirm that finishing the SSC (Self-Study Course) DOES NOT apply the "hand-on course requirement ".
    It still need to pay more money for an instructor-led (face-to-face) course, right?
    Q3:
    Can I just finish ONE course "Oracle 11g Database Administrator Workshop II" from an Oracle authorized education center to fit the " hand-on course requirement " ?
    Sorry I have to ask this because the budget consideration.
    Thank you very much!

    A1 -- Yes, if you passed 1Z0-001, you do not need to take 1Z0-051.  When courses are retired, it simply means they are no longer given to *new* students.  Anyone who passed them still retains credit for having done so.
    A2 -- Self Study CDs do not count for the hands-in requirement.  On the approved courses page of OU, it specifically states: "Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification."
    A3 -- Only one course is required for the 11G OCP.  That one is on the approved list and so will be acceptable if the vendor is authorized by OU.

  • 1z0-051: SQL Fundamentals objective inquiry

    Hi,
    first of all I wish if this is the right way/ forum to ask. If not, please accept my apologies, in advance.
    I'm preparing for 1z0-051 Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals 1 exam. My main refrence is :
    OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) Complete Exam Preparation-John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass , from Oracle Press.
    I could find in the book a reference for the objective of the Using DDL Statements to Create and Manage Tables:
    Describe how schema objects work.
    Any help with that objective, please???
    Thank you

    Hell AHS, I just answered your question in the other topic you opened. The info provided in the link Markus Waldorf gave you is too detailed. You don't need to know about CLUSTER, DIMENSION, EXTERNAL PROCEDURES, etc etc.
    I passed the exam not so long ago and the book is enough (along with 5 years using Oracle almost everyday in my case).
    Cheers,

  • Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

    I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
    Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
    The two exams I will be taking are the :
    1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
    1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
    So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
    If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

    Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams.  I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144.  I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however.  The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
    As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle).  You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle).  You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only).  I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise.  Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements.  I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

  • 1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals 1 Exam Guide Problem with loading HR schema

    Hi,
    I’m new to Oracle Databases and have started studying with Oracle Press 11g SQL Fundamentals 1 Exam Guide 1Z0-051.
    The book is good except the problem I have is the HR schema they talk about is made up off seven tables (Countries, Departments, Employees, Job_History, Jobs, Locations and Regions).
    But the HR schema that I get is only made up off 4 tables (Bonus, Dept, Emp, Salgrade).
    Can anyone who has used this book please advise what I’m doing wrong and how I can get the correct Schema please.

    Hi,
    Well I haven't used that book but with whatever little I know , I shall try to attempt the question.
    There was an ancient schema for Human Resource, SCOTT which is haivng 4 tables only. Since 9i, there were an introduction of new schemas like HR ( Human Resource), OE( Order Entry) and so on. So the book is referring to that.
    Now when you create the database using Database Configuration Assistant, there comes an option with a check box, that do you want to create sample schemas or not? If you select that option, you get all these schemas in your db. If not, you only get the old SCOTT schema.
    If you have missed creating these schemas( which I belive is the case) than you need to manually create them. Here is the description for how to create them manually.

  • Is the only 1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals I certification useful/recognised in the international labour market?

    Hi,
    I've been studying for passing the 1Z0-051 "SQL Fundamentals I" exam before taking the 1Z0-144 "Program with PL/SQL" exam and so I wonder if the only (for the moment) "SQL Fundamentals I" certification may be considerated useful/recognised in the international labour market or if it's "only" an intermediate certification for taking the "Program with PL/SQL" exam.
    I ask for that 'cause I wonder if once I'll have taken the "SQL Fundamentals I" certification, this might be added in my curriculum or if it's just an intermediate certification
    Thanks!

    ...The SQL exam 051 or 061 by itself doesn't have value. But the SQL Expert exam 047 is a standalone certification exam.
    I really don't like the statement that the SQL Fundamentals exams have no value.  Passing the exams will not earn a certificate.  That is not the same thing as having no value.  I am in the final stages of hiring an assistant to act as a backup for me.  For several reasons the company decided to hire a recent college graduate with minimal (read almost zip) Oracle knowledge.  I plan to assign them a set of reading material to study and certification exams to prepare for.  I wrote an article detailing the specific steps on Certification Magazine here:
    How to train your assistant: Certification makes the minion - CertMag
    The very first test I will have them work towards is 1Z0-051. If that test 'had no value', why would I bother doing this? The SQL Expert Exam (1Z0-047) earns a certification and so obviously is'the more valuable exam, right? Wrong (at least in my opinion). The SQL Fundamentals exam has a better coverage of the basic SQL elements that I need to be confident my assistant has learned.  After my backup has completed all of the certifications listed in the above article, I may well have him move on to some more advanced exams, including 1Z0-047, among others.  However, much of the SQL Expert exam content is on seldom-used elements of the language.  I don't think I have ever used the ROLLUP, CUBE, or GROUPING SETS operations for real-world work. Likewise I cannot recall having a need for multitable INSERTs. I have never had a need to set a column to UNUSED.  I think I've used regular expressions less than five times in twenty years.  I use CONNECT BY PRIOR more than that, but still seldom enough that I often Google the syntax when I need to write a hierarchical query.
    In short -- why would I bother making them spend time studying aspects of SQL that they almost certainly won't use very often.  I need them to be knowledgeable about the SQL syntax that they will be using on a daily basis.  That's what the SQL Fundamentals exam contains and that is why that exam is more valuable for people just starting out with the Oracle database.

  • Certification topics for 1z0-051

    I am preparing for the SQL fundamental exam 1z0-051. I am following the book :"OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) " by Biju Thomas.
    Question: The exam topics in Oracle's certification website do not indicate subtopics. eg. Group functions is a topic listed but are sub-topics such as ROLLUP and CUBE part of the certification?
    Thanks in advance.

    [amazon link|http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Database-Osborne-ORACLE-Press/dp/0071498508/ref=pd_sim_b_3] is this book enough for iz0-051??
    can you refer a sybex book for this,so that can tally the explanations?...............
    For anyone who has SQL experience, or has studied SQL as part of a WDP, or has a general SQL book already then either of the two books (+ their associated practice test in book and on CDROM should be adequate for 1z0-051:I did not get any testkit CDROM forr 007 even.as i am under WDP for 9i.
    * ISBN-13: 978-0071597869: OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide: Exam 1Z0-051 (Oracle Press)i found 2008 edition in our local market.so ISBN no. did not match.
    * ISBN-13: 978-0470395127: OCA: Oracle Database 11g Administrator Certified Associate Study Guide: (Exams1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052) (Sybex)this book (probably written by Biju Thomas).
    The first is usually cheaper, the second while more expensive also covers 1z0-052. I have seen the first book and it is adequate ; and I know of no reason why the second should not be adequate too. While for the self studying for OCA/OCP 10g/11g candidates i somtimes hint to people they should consider getting both Oracle Press and Sybex books; for this exam i tend to think this is not so necessary for most people.
    wrt the book you referenced:
    * ISBN-13: 978-0071498500: Oracle Database 11g SQL (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)
    This book is designed to cover 11g SQL in general. It is more orientated towards learning and reference. While not tied to an exam it does probably cover most (if not all) topics needed for 1z0-047. Probably most professionals would find it as easy to look up oracle documentation most of the time. I actually have it, mainly because I it was an easy way for me to get a grip on the newer ANSI join forms whcih I am less useful. I cant say its not useful, but certainly some people would find it of limited use and others are quite happy with it.This book still to come in local market(india).
    Thanx.whatever..........but remember this sybex books have very little hands on practice.ie.hardly you will find a query that is left for your practice.All of questions in MCQ basis.
