Training, should I go for 9i or 10g?

Hi All,
I have been using various Open Source RDBMS's for a while and I would like to get some Oracle training under my belt. My question is, should I focus my learning path on 9i or 10g?
I have looked at the education section of Oracle's site and there seems to be books available for 9i (as well as classroom training) while there is only classroom training for 10g. I prefer self study if possible so leaning towords 9i.
I anyone has any advice on which version to get trained up for and the best way to approach it I would be much obliged.
Regards,
Fred.

Fred,
all the basic concepts are same for any version. I suggest you to start with 9i, understand well with internals and other functionality and then yourself can go ahed with 10g by learning new features of 10g. Other people in this list may differ with my opinion. They are welcomed.

    Is SOA Essential training needed for SOA Suite 10g: Services Orchestration? or Should I proceed with Services Orchestration?

    No, essiantials is just a two day high level overview. The 5 day training is in-depth training on the SOA suite. I advice to do 5 day training.

  • Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?

    Hi all,
    I am lil bit confuse to decide about my oracle core dba certification.
    Please help me to know, as per the present requirements of the business organizations.
    ***Should I go for Oracle 10g OCA/OCP or 11g OCA/OCP Certification?***
    Hope u guys answer me earliest.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Most likely, it doesn't matter too much. I doubt that most employers are terribly concerned with what recent version of Oracle you have a certification on.
    That said, if it matters
    - What does your organization use? What are their plans to upgrade? If your company still uses 9.2 primarily and has plans to upgrade to 10.2 this year, you're probably better off with a 10g certification. If your company is already running mostly 11.2, you're probably better off with an 11g certification.
    - What do most employers in your particular part of the world tend to use? What do job postings in your particular part of the world generally list?

  • Can any one guide me in this. I would like to start my certifications in VM Ware. Especially in cloud. I saw there is an exam for the new starters .(VCA). it is enough or should I go for any other Training in MCSA (Server).

    VCA is to make sure that you have a understanding of the general concepts before you go to do a full VCP course.
    I have taken the VCA datacenter and it was very much a case of: What product does what?
    You wouldnt get a job on merit of having a VCA where as you would with the VCP.

  • OS-Authentication  for a Oracle 10g Express Edition

    I want to use OS-Authentication for an Oracle 10g Express Edition. What value must be set in sqlnet.ora ? Where are the possible authentcation modes described ? I only found the description KERBEROS5.
    I tryed the value all, but with all no connect is possible.
    Tanks for help

    >
    Thanks for your link.
    A special username with prefix is needed. This user must be created for external authentication. This user must be known by the OS. Am i right ?
    >Right.
    >
    As i understand, to login with OS-Authentication i need a new windows user. This is not usable, because my users have their login and do not want to use another, when working with the database.
    Is there another way to use OS-Authentication ?As far as I know, this is not possible especially with Oracle XE which has not all features of Entreprise Edition.
    >
    Must the prefix be used in any case ?
    >You can have an empty prefix: you should use OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX init. parameter http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams147.htm#REFRN10152

  • Requirement specification for Oracle 9i & 10g database.

    I had a query as to what are the software & hardware requirements for Oracle 9i & 10g. I know of 9i for Windows only at the moment, it requires around 10MB hard disk space & 256 RAM. So, similarly, i wanted to know for other platforms. I hope, my question is clear.
    Please, help in solving the doubt.
    regards

    i don't think that you should worry about minimum hardware specifications as now a days hardware is very cheap and also the minimum configuration new machines available in market are with p4, 256 mb ram, 80gb hdd, etc.
    But still for knowledge minimum requirements information can be found in any oracle sw installation documentations.

  • Setup FORMS_PATH for Oracle Forms 10g in windows7

    Hi,
    Please kindly advise the regedit path to set the FORMS_PATH variable at windows for Oracle Forms 10g?
    Should it be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ORACLE?
    If yes, is it the unique path? since I cannot create folder for 'ORACLE'.
    Thanks,
    CY

    If you installed the product following the instructions found in MOS Note 559067.1 the registry key will have already been created for you.  It will be a sub to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\<???>
    Find this in your system and look at the contents of each key below "Oracle".  It should be obvious which one belongs to Forms as there will be numerous FORMS_xxxxx entries there.

  • Why Should I go for 11g

    Since my database and application running well for long time and not major problems then why should I go for 11g. Why not stick to 10g more 2 to 4 years.
    Share your ideas....

    Hi there,
    I dont think that it matters on this too much that your applications and db are running ( or not running ) fine ovr a version x so you should migrate to y version.I have seen shops still running on 817 also and there are many who have opted for 11g also. There are alot of factors which effect the decision.I wont recommend anyone at the moment to go for 11g as its the first release and the R1 product is not usualy so stable.If I really wish to upgrade , I shall wait for atleast 11gR2 to come.
    If you are happy with the performance of 10g and are stable than I dont thikn that you have any drastic need for upgrade to 11g any time soon.
    Just my 2 cents....

  • Report should prompt me for parameters, please help.

    Hi All,
    I am using Crystal version 10, So is there any way I can get the behaviour of my parameters as dynamic parameter? I have this requirement because when I am deploying the Report on BO server, and try to open the report from InfoView, it is not prompting me for parameters, rather it is giving me the copy which we had scheduled earlier. To get the fresh data with different parameters, we again need to schedule the report.
    What I want is simple, Whenever user clicks on the report link in infoview, I should be promted for the parameters my report is using.
    Please help..
    Thanks
    -Azhar

    Hi
    It would prompt whenever it's refreshed.
    You can refer to Business View manager guide from [here|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir2/en/xir2_bv_admin_en.pdf ] for detailed information.

  • OIM 9.1.0 install connector for "Oracle Database 10g"

    Hello,
    Is anybody here who succeeded to install the connector for Oracle Database 10g into OIM 9.1.0?
    If yes please give me a hint
    Have a nice day!

    Thanks guys for the quick responses.
    But I have tried both the options for putting the jar in Third Party and also by uploading using the OOTB utility UploadJar.sh.
    But it is giving the same error.
    I have tired rebouncing the server and also Purge cached, but no success.
    Just to mention again, I have tried with all the last 3 postgres JDBC4 driver available on the site (u mentioned).
    So, any other clue?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Final Cut Studio 2. Should I wait for 3? And which new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I'm in need of some advice. I have used Final Cut pro since it's early days having owned 1,3 and 4.5HD. I also used Motion 1 a fair bit. My video editing worked declined in the last 3 years so I didn't upgrade my software and computer as it wasn't necessary. BUT things are getting busy for me again and I have quite a few projects to complete in the next year and motion 1 and FCP 4.5HD just don't make the grade anymore (actually I love 4.5 but motion 1 was always buggy). the 17 isn't out of my budget but in terms of convenience I don't want to go that route again (I now have a 17inch PB from 2004). My questions...
    1. Should I wait for FCS 3? I heard it will be released this OCT. I don't want to have to pay 700bucks foor an upgrade to FCS3 only a few months after I get 2. Is 2 plenty good enough?
    2. Should I get the 15inch 2.66 with dedicated 9600/256mb or 2.8 with dedicated 9600/512 graphics card? I'm thinking the 2.8.
    apart from this point there isn't much difference between the 2 computers (along with L2 cache)

    1) There is no set release date for FCS 3 (sad but true) in fact there is no "official" information anywhere that confirms FCS3's existence ... whatever you've heard or read is pure speculation and basing purchasing decisions on such might be a tad risky. My advice would be that if you need FCS2's functionality right now then buy it now, especially if you are working commercially (ie you're going to get paid for this) ... but if you don't need it yet then common sense would be to bide your time.
    2) Despite your reservations, get the 17" MBP. There are no current 15" MBP's that are a good long term purchase suitable for professional editing work. How long do you expect to use this purchase? 1 or 2, maybe 3 years? or 5 years? Sooner or later you will want or need to connect a bigger, better, faster storage system to your laptop in order to keep up with your editing needs, especially as we hurtle towards affordable Digital Cinema solutions for consumers and pro's alike. NONE of the current 15" laptop lineup for Apple offers ANY suitable form of expansion facility. Sadly they have dropped their "Pro" appeal, at least with respect to Pro video editing needs.

  • What One Specification Should I Look for When Buying Optical 5.1 Speakers for the iMac 27" i7?

    Hi. I have an analog 5.1 (it came from my previous PC setup) now but only the subwoofer works, the controller for its satellite speakers maybe have been busted by the high voltage from the outlet (I've since gotten a nice AVR). If replace it since the late 2009 iMac and Macs in general only do surround sound (5.1 or higher) if it's not analog. I've read somewhere that is should be digital or optical.
    When I look for the specification that'll make this Mac do 5.1 surround, what should I look for in the speaker's specifications. I believe the non-analog 5.1 speakers are way more expensive, I'll probably buy one used but what brand and model can anyone recommend that's not that expensive, iMac/Mac compatible and will be easy to setup (you just plug it in into it's the headphone jack at the back) that'll do 5.1 on Lion and Snow Leopard (I have both installed for backup OSes and experiments). Thank you in advance.

  • HT1766 How long should it take for a icloud back up of about 6.4GB?  It has been running all night and not complete.

    How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB?  I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night?  Thanks         

    That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

  • What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

    I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only.  I have two questions:
    1.  What should I use for the sequence settings?  Should I edit with a HD sequence setting? 
    2.  I am going to scan the pics myself.  What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality?  I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.
