Road to Oracle Certification

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

So question for both of you: From where can I get the DVD tutorials for Oracle RAC, Streams or Goldengate?? There used to be CBTs earlier back in time when I was learning. Not sure if these are still out there or no.

Mirch, wut kinda electronic material have you got for RAC? Can you please send me if I ask?

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

SID can u please share the material you hav so far ? Most of the material i have rgt now is in my system let me jst mak a list then will let u knw. For the time being u jst share ur oracle knowledge , sources n the material tht u r using .

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

That is Oracle University Student guide and it is 11.3 M. If you have account at some fileshare server I can upload it for you there.

This is what it says :
This course is designed for anyone interested in implementing a Real Application Clusters (RAC) database.
The coverage is general and contains platform- specific information only when it is necessary to explain a concept using an example.
Knowledge of and experience with Oracle Database 10g** architecture are assumed.**
**Lecture material is supplemented with hands-on practices

This Floder size is around 7 Gb . Thats the Biggest oracle warehouse that i have. Might ther r are alot of Books ther in my other drives . I wish i can cover them all thoroughly. U can Cover the VTC oracle-10g-tutorials that is i gues enough for the prep.

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

can u pleez upload it onlin n share the link if u wont mind. u can upload it any good dataserver n share the link.

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

I will see if I can open an account on a fileshare website.

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

Just went through this link and thought to share it:

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

I was gonna make a mention of showing at least 5-6 years of experience after the training. It is just that somehow you need to back up your claim of training & get through the interview process, especially the skills interview portion. A lot of consulting firms re-do your resume and fudge it to show experience, but the problem arises when future employer requests Business References. Now if you have been working (just not in that field) you can always get away with it. However if you don't have any work experience as of late, I am not sure what you can do.

Re: Road to Oracle Certification

Amazing link …
thank u so much .
