How to proceed after graduating from OCA certification?

Dear community,

Recently I finished preparing my OCA exams and I was hoping to get counsel on how to proceed after two of them. The problem is that there is no database of courses where i live and the only way to enter the world of DBA are having a minimum of 3-4 years of hands on experience. However, do you think I should immediately start working towards my OCP certification after GRADUATING or should I try to move and win a few hands on prior to the certificates way?

"feel free to engage in oracle certification vs real hands on experience, if I lost you there."

Would appreciate any advice or personal opinions!

Thanks in advance!

I wrote several articles on various aspects of this topic:

I just got an Oracle Certification - how can I be hired as a DBA?

Oracle Certification preparation time: I don't know anything about Oracle... but I want to be a DBA.

  • Advice on how to proceed after installing the OS on Hp Pavilion 2010ax g6

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop 2010ax from flipkart.com g6.

    I installed win 7 ultimate laptop and was stuck there.

    I didn't know how to proceed further as ethernet, wireless, bluetooth, webcam, touchpad driver, graphics etc.

    If anyone could help, please, it is most appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    PS: I was intending to take the laptop to a showroom of HP, if the thing is not resolved in 2 days. Please advice

    You are the very welcome.

    No, you don't need to install all the drivers.

    Let me give you a hand on getting some basic installed drivers.

    One is not available in support of your laptop and driver page, but it is very important to install this one first. It's the chipset driver that installs a lot of drivers from the motherboard.

    First download is what you need. Install and restart the PC

    The next device you want to install is the video (graphics card). Install and reboot.

    Who should get the best of them

    I left deliberately driver wireless card and the software because as you can see, there could be one of a few different model cards installed in your laptop wireless.

    So, after getting all these drivers installed, go back to Device Manager and click on the device you see labeled network controller and using the info above, after the hardware for him ID so I know what model of wireless card you have in there.

  • How to transfer my music from ipod nano to my apple mediathek? Lost all the music on my PC after the failure of the system.

    How to transfer my music from ipod nano to my apple mediathek? All the music was lost after my PC broke down.

    What is "apple mediathek?

    Depending on the context, I'll assume that you are asking how to unload files of songs from an iPod to a computer.  iTunes synchronization is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library. You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store)

    NOTE: Songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again free of charge, on the iTunes Store purchased screen.

    Download your purchases past - Apple Support

    However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few links (including a CNET article on the subject).  Once the files of songs from the iPod to your disk, add them to your current iTunes library.

    Further, you should backup your iTunes data.  Apple describes a way to back up your folder full of iTunes on an external drive.

    Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

    This method should also be used when switching from an old computer to a new computer.  By transferring or restore your complete iTunes folder, it's the same iTunes library on the new computer, not a new iTunes library with your old songs.  iPods are not designed to be your data from iTunes backup.

  • How to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after download / print?

    Can someone tell me how to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after that I downloaded and printed. Thank you

    jmsandkds,

    I apologize for the confusion. Options you speak of "photos, web and file" are located on the phone somewhere, lets say you click files. When you click on files, it will search the phone for available files that are able to print the ePrint app. To the extent where they are on the phone, you will need to search for them via the search screen, connection to the computer, or some files are program specific and only available in this program to be read, edited, or deleted.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to recover photos after restoring from backup

    Is it possible to restore photos a iphone 5 after accidentally from 2014 with no new data backup since then? Why I have not saved for awhile it is because it takes a lot of space on my computer mac laptop (I don't have much space to begin with, only 12 GB at max and now only 1 GB after the restoration, icloud will have only 5 GB of available so I'm not sure.

    I accidentally deleted my entire folder of images on mac and thought that backup restore iphone on computer he would bring back (I thought that all the pictures in this folder have been for the iphone, it turns out that they were not) and not backing up my iphone.

    Are there any photo recovery apps phone which are legit and not a scam?

    iPhone Backup Extractor is something that people spoke - the have not used personally, but she needs a viable phone backup to extract-if you destroyed your backup - so I'm afraid that your images are lost

    It may be interesting to invest in an external hard drive or use a site like Carbonite back up in the future

  • How do I download images from my android phone on my new computer WIndows 8?

    How do I download images from my android phone on my new computer Windows 8?  In my old Vista, all I had to do was connect my phone to the USB port and she made the photos.  When I plugged in my phone, the computer makes the lovely chime but don't watch not the phone when you click on "devices".  So when I found this and do a right click on it, I don't have the option of opening. Very frustrating.

    Thank you very much! It's actually pretty easy. People dribble on hatred of everything that is NOT useful and should be eliminated by the moderator of the site! Commons, peeps! We hear enough drib neg everywhere and it cascades (see example above). I paid more than a grand for a great HP with Vista and used for the Tech Cert class and cleaned for my son's graduation gift and he is a writer and player and he loves her and we had win7 and new free heat paste and he's still using it after 7 years. I also have older refurb that run circles around "hater peeps" with bells and whistles that they dislike. I take most of it off the coast of the new computers anywho. A very productive day and catch me on my site of the Pupsrun.com family, when it finally comes out of beta mode. :)

  • How can I disable Adobe from a stolen computer?

    My computer was stolen. How can I disable Adobe from this computer?

    I can install it in another later?

    You are allowed to have enabled facilities on two machines, so nothing prevents you to install now if you like... but you might want to delay until you can get the deactivation of the road for the stolen computer.

    You can contact Adobe technical support via chat and ask them to reset your activations - just ask if reset or else they could tell you they can't help.  That will disable all facilities currently activated, that's why I suggest wait for install on the new - but if you immediately need you can proceed and reactivate just once again after the installation of the new.

  • How to proceed in the procedure

    HI friends,
    I'm using Oracle 11 g.

    Please find the screenplay and create the table with dummy data script.

    In my_table, we also have data
    RA1340001,
    RA1340002
    In this case we have to change the data form
    R134B0001
    RB1340002

    To change the letter B, to go to a dcn_control table where we are, managing data (SNO, DATE_T, CAMPGN_ID)
    (1, 01-06-12, RA134) Suppose that this month, the 2nd letter in the CAMPGN_ID field is A, then the next month the letter B is in alphabetical order. Assume that the letter is Z, then updates the data by A.
    So the logic shud be if data = "RA1340001", then check the second letter and increment + 1 in alphabetical order to B and place the B after R134, so the value is
    R134B0001
    If the data = "RA1340002", then check the second letter and increment + 1 in alphabetical order to B, so the value is RB1340002.
    ======================
    Please find the Table script.
    =================
    CREATE TABLE dcn_control
    (
    SNO NUMBER NOT NULL,
    Date of a DATE_T
    CAMPGN_ID VARCHAR2 (7-BYTE) NOT NULL)
    ==============================
    Create table my_table
    (
    given varchar2 (10) NOT Null
    )
    ========================
    insert into my_table values ('RA1340001')
    insert into my_table values ('RA1340002')
    ================
    insert into dcn_control values(1,sysdate,'RA134')

    Please let me know how to proceed.

    Thank you
