Oracle damir the need for the new points system, and, overall, liked what he found.

from damir bersinic February 12, 2002 - examination # 1z0 - 031 , Oracle 9i Database: fundamentals i vendor Oracle status live The reviewer rating "Although some simple questions, in overall terms, is a challenging test must stop paper Oracle professionals. " Test # 160 Price 125 yuan Who To take this test? those Looking into 9 i database ocas, organochlorine pesticides Oracle is not already certified.

(those previously certified 8 i database, you can upgrade the examination, and not).

Examinations # 160 Details 60 choice and that of two parts: basic and master.

passes Score: 39 of 60 - from two basic sections 5 # 160 and-14 from the Dakota. Registration can be Prometric Limited target Click Here in the Oracle OpenWorld Earlier this year, we are aware that the Oracle Certification Scheme, currently including two three - Oracle database certification Associate (OCA), Oracle certified professional Database (concept OZP) and the Oracle database certified Master (ocm). Another announcement made at the same time, but much less press that Oracle examination Oracle 9i database will include current , divided into chapters - basic research and master - and the passing scores in the two sections is necessary.

I have had the opportunity to experience such a time, I would like to test version of upcoming Oracle 9i database: fundamentals i test examinations, is the second of its two tests requirements for the new OCA (must be passed on to the concept plan, and Finally, ocm). (Note: The existing Oracle 8i database organochlorine pesticides do not need to take this examination upgrade exam).

First impression I must admit that writing this exam is a welcome experience, but I doubt Some of you people may not think that when you sit down on its own. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of most asked - they need some thinking, to determine the correct answer. I really found some of the problems, then she should be easy, I know the answer. Why this contradiction? Reason can be traced back to the examination methods, can be decomposed into a basic and Mastery this section, and problems, be difficult to match. Take the examination, you will get some quite challenging issues, test your knowledge of some elements of the Oracle 9i database, there is a question on what kind of technology is used to write redo log files , as an example. This is the master, and basic knowledge of the test work.

Examination itself is covered Oracle country, it was their candidates guide, available here.

Focus of the joint entrance exam, in the Oracle 8i database and earlier predecessors, is to ensure that that a candidate has a knowledge management Oracle 9i Database effective.

This includes understanding the structure of Oracle, configuration storage on the database objects, such as tables, indexes, zoning, as well as how to properly enforce security. Of course, the skills to create a database and use of the state Language Support (NLS), the test.

Main point ready to answer questions on all 9 i database functions, including: The spfile and how to create it.

How to dynamically change pfile and spfile content.

Combined with a variety of new directory services.

New construction components support of the Real Application Clusters / know how to configure all the expansion of capacity in the Oracle 9i database is not necessary, but some knowledge of construction are used to yes.

Tip: Do not forget 9 i database of the new security features, including disabled users famous By default, a new database established, the dictionary accessibility, and so on. Oracle many initialization parameters have also changed in the Oracle 9i database. Warning to you Outline Concept Plan 8 is there to take the examination instead of upgrading: it is currently perfectly valid answer, Oracle 8i database as an option, the test your knowledge 9 i database. I have to admit that this is one of the hardest things on examination I - I have to go back and verify my answer provided is correct 9i and not based on previous knowledge. If you are a working operation Oracle 8i database name (and perhaps not confirmed yet in the Oracle 8i database), a little more focusing on what has changed in the latest release, so that you do not belong into the same trap. Even so, there is no question, I passed the test, with room to spare parts , which led to the next topic.

Feedback is good have a lot of noise to a recent Microsoft pass / fail the examination system, which did not provide any feedback you should respect learn to be better next time. I believe that section by section may Score not a good thing, because you can focus too much on one area at the expense of others in the back of a test. Oracle no longer provided by their scores on the examination report either, but if you do not have passed the examination, they place on the list, you may want to spend a little more time to learn in advance of your next attempt. If you through examinations This report is part of the scores of empty - you passed! I think this is a good compromise to tell you everything and nothing. You may also find out in the report of the scores of some of the problems, do you have the right, in two basically mastered section of the test, but I think this issue. Adequate, but not overwhelming information in all circumstances.

Believe that the bottom line As some of you may already know, I firmly believe that this is easy to test for unqualified people. On the other hand, the matter is too difficult to overcome point any certification process - if no one can pass the examinations What does that mean? Oracle, in this examination and others in the 9 i database flow, the link "br> good test with the requirements of a basic understanding of the concept of products and capabilities, knowledge of the work solve practical problems. This concept may not be a new problem, but it goes beyond what other vendors further easing in the paper the possibility of Oracle through accreditation dbas professionals claim. I wish you the best of luck! What is your take on this test? Rate It Below!
