A combination of SAP, MCSE (MSSQL), Oracle certifications. Good or bad idea? Why?
I am a SANDBOX and work on my OCP and MCSE certifications. Will be a combination of SAP, OCP, and MCSE (MSSQL) will be a good idea. It will help me to compete in the International labour market. I need the views of the Professional on this topic.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Faizan Karim
I see jobs quite often seek the Oracle and MSSQL experience combined. People with knowledge of the two often deal with migration from one to the other. Other companies have databases Oracle and MSSQL in place (and commercial reasons to keep) and want to professionals who can manage both.
Mind you, they want people who know databases, rather than people who have a couple of pieces of paper indicating that they passed a test for the two databases. Getting certified is a way to start building a base of knowledge, but the test is not the finish line.

Digital badges are a concept that allows employers to be certain that no one 'X' that says that they hold (for example) Oracle Database Administrator Certified Professional 12 c credential - really holds them there. No 'X' can now fill their LinkedIn profile "Certifications" section with any number of impressive certifications - if they have really them. Digital badges, however, are verified by a collaboration between Acclaim (a service digital badging from Pearson view) and LinkedIn. Someone cannot display a digital badge of a credential given without having actually been verified to hold.
http://certmag.com/Digital-badges-may-help-bridge-certification-credibility-gaps/
In any case - to my knowledge - there is nothing you need to do. Application of digital badges Oracle is in the baby-steps stage and I know they will continue to roll out over the coming months. They should send email to certification holders to allow them to perform the badging process. I think they started with the CMO credentials as a test and increase outside with others.

Well seen.
Certainly on amazon.co.uk there was a bunch of braindump kindle publications in February. It was a link to a url in one of them and certguard.com said braindump site. In general only unpublished reputable publishers on amazon... now here can be a risk people scan a few pages/PDF of the copyright and area to make a quick profit.
https://blogs.Oracle.com/certification/entry/cheating_part_7_what_can_you_a indicates that you can send an email [email protected] (they will not respond normally, but I know they'll take advice.
You can also get the same email Global FAQ... search "fraud".

Looking for recommendations for the best books break the Oracle certification
Aloha everyone.
I am interested in taking partner level Oracle SQL and PL/SQL certification exams. I have tried for 3 months to prepare for the exam.
Please suggest me the best books to crack the following exams:
(Exam 1): Oracle 12 c basic SQL Database (exam code: exam 1Z0-061)
(Review 2): Oracle Database 11 G: program PL/SQL (exam code: exam 1Z0-144).
Thanks in advance.
(Exam 1): Oracle 12 c basic SQL Database (exam code: exam 1Z0-061)
(Review 2): Oracle Database 11 G: program PL/SQL (exam code: exam 1Z0-144).
I maintain a list of equipment, including third party books, for Oracle certifications exploded by review. The links for these two examinations are:
Oracle Certification Preparation: Details of the review and preparation of 1Z0-061 resources
Oracle Certification Preparation: Details of the examination and preparation for 1Z0 - 144 resources
Regarding the recommendations, 1Z0-061 has an Oracle Press book developed for it. They are almost always a good choice. The only books written specifically for 1Z0-144 is the study guide that I wrote. In addition, many people have stated in the past that they used the book of Oracle PL/SQL Programming of Steve Feuerstein.

Ask about Oracle certification for the Admin path
Hi I have the underside of certifications under my belt:-1. Oracle Certified Associate of PL/SQL Developer 2. Oracle PL/SQL Developer certified professional that I would give Oracle Database 11 g administration Associate certification. I see that I need to give exams 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-052 for. So my question is whther I need to give Z051 review? Keeping in mind, I traced level OCP, authorized as a PL/SQL Developer. Thanks in advance...
How can I get confirmation on this officially?
See the FAQ:
https://education.Oracle.com/pls/web_prod-PLQ-dad/db_pages.GetPage?page_id=82
Look for the "SQL Fundamentals". One of the questions will be: "How long can I use an exam to earn a certification? "Exam results expire?"
The answer is: "do not expire the results of exams, but certifications are retiring, and that affects your older test results will help you to get certified or not. "
If a specific review meets a requirement in a current certification path, it does not matter if you have passed the exam. "For example, if you have taken SQL, # 1Z0-001 review in 1997, you can always use it meets the requirement of SQL for Oracle database current certification."
If you do not trust that - the moderator of the forum, Brandye, can come in a day or two to confirm what I said. However, there is no doubt. The question comes up fairly often. In fact, I wrote a blog on this subject for more than a year (although this would not even "official", of course):

How rate/knowledge so ready for the Oracle Certification
Hi, I am interested in an Oracle Certification exam (1Z0-144), but I'm not sure if I'm ready.
Any suggestions on how I could notice me if I am ready for the examination? I have (almost) no idea on what would be the review or what topics would be covered.
Are there sample examination questions that might similiarly appear in the review?
appreciate your answers.
Oracle PL/SQL (and SQL) certifications are not really related to the output of the database as are the DBA certifications. The exam 1Z0-147 was developed during the version 9i, and the exam 1Z0-144 was developed during the release of 11 g. However, a review wins the same certification credentials (i.e. you do not become a 'Oracle 11 g PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate'. The reason is that SQL and PL/SQL undergo massive changes from one version to the other. However, they change slightly from one version to the other, and OU must periodically update information on trial so that it matches the available capacities. I talk about this in the article below. It is specific for reviews of databases SQL, but the basic concepts are the same for reviews of PL/SQL.
Preparation of Oracle Certification: Oracle SQL Fundamentals exams and database versions
Basically However - even if you are using oracle 10g, I recommend that you take 1Z0-144, because it's a review better than 1Z0 - 147. I give my reasoning for it the following article:

Hi there guys.
I did OCP 10 g Certification a few months back... Now, I want to make the Certifications for Oracle Database 10g R2: administering RAC & Oracle E-Business Suite R12. Is there any requirement for these exams? I will have to take courses for these certifications or can I give a review of course student?
Thank you.First of all, there is a Community of Certification where it would be more appropriate.
Second, assuming you're a DBA OCP (there are a lot of different OCP certifications) 10 g, you would not need additional training in the classroom in order to obtain a RAC ECO 10 g certification. There are a ton of different certifications of E-Business Suite so I don't know which particular talk and think. You can go to the website of Oracle certification for Oracle all certification requirements that you are interested in.

Profiles of the Oracle Certification program

"In the form below, presents the data as it appears in your Pearson view profiles and program Certification Oracle."
What is a profile of Oracle Certification program?
I passed 10 Oracle exams given by Prometric. I've never taken a class Oracle nor I took all reviews of the PERSON. Prometric still has an account of my exams, which I can access. Oracle has an account of these reviews so somewhere?

Ofcos, VIEW will get your profile testid and review of Prometric. Don't forget that u must provide the test id, such as SPXXXXXXX / SRXXXXXX, while you are creating a VIEW Oracle account.

Registration with Pearson VIEW Oracle Certification - experiences
* Please note that I already have an account with Pearson VIEW (but obviously wrt another Test program).
* I made VERY sure that I hand by Prometric ID before starting the process.
* on the first attempt through bigdelboy missed the radio button to say that his company was not a partner of oracle, he then allowed by field Oracle ID(Prometric ID) BS as I entered, so I returned it. He then forced me to confirm it on another page.
* Then, I got the following response:
I did about 14 September 2009 13:30 CEST.Testing Programme Information Your request to add Oracle Certification Program has been forwarded to our Testing Programme team. If you provided a valid email address, we will notify you when your request has been processed. This typically occurs within one business day. You can also return to this site and check if Oracle Certification Program has been added to your list of Testing Programmes. Thank you for your interest in Oracle Certification Program!
I will update the thread in the course of things...
-Key points are:
(0) If a recording is in progress with Pearson VIEW for the first time so don't forget your registration information.
(1) ensure a has its former Prometric ID at hand (and never publish it on the web - or disclose to anyone).
(2) there may be a delay by adding the test Oracle on its profile program; and we can't plan reviews until it ends.
-I couldn't imagine that there may be a delay with what happens in the next few weeks,
(3) somehow I feel nervous about this if I have completed a review of Promteric, or had completed a Prometric Exam in the last days.
(4) my Pearon VIEW and Prometric addresses match... This could help my cause.
Please note that this is progressing well so far... I'm really just share my viewpont experience
Published by: bigdelboy on 14-Sep-2009 08:21 - well, I left 3 hours and tried to tether at Pearson for Oracle and it said:
Before you continue, your account must be updated. Please go to add the test program to add the Oracle Certification program to your profile.
Which is the same info, I entered before so I did not need to be reintroduced to it. I'll try again some time later.
PS: - either by the way, I noticed that... [http://www.pearsonvue.com/about/release/09_09_01_oracle.asp]... so my mugshot and covering scribbles will be captured.

-not the choice to use a specific user name. Well, guess this is written down!
Action: Connect, forced change of the password
-password strength is monitored. good thing I have a forte in my rep stardardConcluding observations:
My first name, middle initial and name (for printing in the certificate) have been converted to lowercase, without the possibility to fix this. Personal profile page says I need to contact customer service to fix this. (LOL)
None of my history of test is transferred. The page says it's 'history of Pearson VIEW tests', so I don't know if that still counts.
It's a "first registration" moderately painless with a VIEW. Just took a little time and patience.
Certainly, it feels like screens and traffic were never really completely tested by someone outside the development environment - they 'work', but don't let the taste to have been done by a professional organization with expertise in web-oriented systems. I don't know which will happen in a future release.

Oracle certification path question
Hello, for some time I use php\mysql to create small applications and scripts and I feel that I don't have a correct orientation on the structure of a database.
I want to know how to manage oracle databases and set up the infrastructure, but the question would then become:
certification DBA 11 g offers these fundamentals? Or is there a place to start?

Oracle certifications with no degree in CS
I am totally new to this world and I know career of no two people are the same. I hear about how people who know oracle are in demand. It is true that this world came from instead of a real degree certifications? There the reccomendations? I am interested in database. Let's say I got some certifications oracle instead of graduating from PUT, I was always able to work? I have a Bachelor's degree, but it's in journalism. My apologies if this isn't a forum appropriate for this issue.
A journalism degree is useless.
What you learn in college is useless if you don't find ways to use it. As I mentioned earlier, my own SET degree is much more oriented towards the management of information systems. However, my experience in business revealed useful many times throughout my career. One of the first databases I designed was inspired by a class that I was taking at the time dealing with just in time (JIT) command. It made me realize how flawed was the logistics of the company that I worked with and how that could be fixed. I designed a database allowing the production team to get orders more quickly and the buying team to be warned of shortages until they have caused the production line to close because (for example), there are 100 discs but only 5 wiring harness. My current job has I work a lot with the Department of finance and my experience of accountant to use huge to help me bridge the gap between what the finance team wants and what is possible using the collected data.
In the last years I was relying on my knowledge and written to be able to write my series study guide, as well as articles for various magazines and Web sites. I was specializing in journalism, elements of course dealing effectively writing would likely have been very useful to me in this effort.

What is the time interval between two Oracle certification exams?
Hello world
I'm looking forward to associate level certification in SQL and PL/SQL.
According to a link from the official website of Oracle, I need to spend the next two STAGES to win the Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate Certification. The two steps are:
URL of the location where the screenshots below (measures) is as follows:
There are to options available in two stages , so I chose to give the two following tests:
1 (from step 1) EXAM: 1Z0-061 (database Oracle 12 c: basic SQL)
REVIEW 2 (step 2): 1Z0-144 (Oracle Database 11 G: program PL/SQL)
Now my questions are these:
Question 1: I intend to take the exam 1Z0-061 first (lets say in June), may therefore take the second exam (1Z0-144) at any time after appearing for the first review or is there no specific time frame in which I'm suppose to take the second review?
Question 2: will what type of certification I get if I take only one exam (1Z0-061 or 1Z0-144)? I know Oracle's official website said that in order to get "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate Certification", I need to pass the two exams; but what happens if I chose to give only a single review at the present time? In the case giving a single review, what type of document of certification will I right to (wave speculation: right to half certification Oracle PL/SQL Developer )?
Thanking you.
Best regards
Ankit
Answer 1: He is there no time limit/limit. Finally, I guess Oracle takes his retirement 1Z0-144, but which does not occur for many years. They have not even removed from the earlier incarnation (1Z0-147).
Answer 2: Passing a review in itself does not have a certification or credential. The only "book", you will have is the sheet of test results.

Hello
I finished my "1z0-007" and "1z0 - 042"in 2009.
Now, I plan to do oracle RAC certification, what is the best way to do it, I mean with my existing certification what other proof that I have to do before I write the oracle RAC certififcation?
Thanks in advance.
The precondition for the certification exam of RAC's OCP for the database (a version identical or higher).
Thus, for 1Z0 - 058 (grid and 11g RAC Expert), you must be a g 11 or 12 c OCP.

Columns nvarchar missing when you query a table in MSSQL, Oracle
Hello
I configured a dblink Oracle to MSSQL and when I ask a table, some columns are missing. The missing columns are all MSSQL nvarchar (4000) and dg4odbc trace file, it seems that the gateway database can not handle this type of data or maybe the size of these problematic columns.
I wonder if there is an initialization parameter or any arrangement that might help hs to correctly map a MSSQL nvarchar (4000), knowing that the other columns to nvarchar with a smaller size can be mapped correctly?
From the trace dg4odbc file, I get this error for every nvarchar columns (4000) MSSQL:
Column:10 (title): dtype - 9 (WVARCHAR), prc / scl:4000 / 3, nullbl:1, byte: 8000, sign: 1 radix: 10
Column 10 (TITLE): dtype - 9 (WVARCHAR): this type of data is not supoprted.
I suspect oracle not be able to manage more than 4000 knowing that after some tests on a DEV server, all the columns less than 2000 in size MSSQL nvarchar are returned correctly by a query with Oracle "byte".

Maximum precision of Oracle nvarchar2 is 2000. You have a nvarchar (4000), which is greater than the maximum precision of Oracle and must be mapped to the long data type in Oracle. But that only works when the Oeacle database character set is a set of Unicode characters - otherwise you would lose information. The character set of your database is WE8ISO8859P1, so you would not be able to display all the characters as a result, the column is removed from the selection list.
Which is also described in the manual of DG4ODBC: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/gateways.112/e12070.pdf
See A Appendix Data Type Mapping:
SQL_WLONGVARCHAR ALONG if Oracle DB Character Set = Unicode. Otherwise, it is not supported

68th character of the subject always a whitespace character when the e-mail through Pre
No matter who has noticed the 68th character is ALWAYS a space? It seemlingly inserts a space as the 68th character, even if it must be a non-whitespace character.
