Dear friends,
I am planning to take this exam : 1z0-146 : Oracle Database 11g: Advanced PL/SQL
Can you share me any training material for this exam? Pls don't give any hyper links, I need PDF/doc.
Regards,
Rajesh

>...i'm not sure what to write mysql or oracle..
While what John says is true... three months of experience in MySQL isn't a huge investment of time. The question is whether to invest further time in MySQL or Oracle. I'm an Oracle DBA/Developer and have been for just under 18 years, so you can assume that I'm just a bit biased towards that platform. That said, when you look at the job openings for MySQL vs those for Oracle, a few things stand out (to me at least). From a completely unscientific search of job listings in my area this morning I see:
- The number of openings for Oracle-related positions is much higher (401 vs 121 -- although I'm sure a number of both are duplicates from competing recruiting firms). A number of the Oracle positions will be for Oracle apps, which isn't really apples-to-apples.
- The pay for Oracle positions tends to be higher. 1/2 of the MySQL positions were between 40k-50K, but only 1/4 of the Oracle ones were.
- The Oracle positions tend to expect you to know Oracle. The MySQL positions expect you to know MySQL and several other technologies (i.e. Ruby on Rails, PHP, Javascript, AJAX, DHTML, JQuery, LAMP). That's not to say that Oracle listings never ask for additional skills, but more often Oracle is the core skill they want and the others are 'nice-to-haves'. From the listings I've looked at, much of the time MySQL is the 'nice-to-have' and the core skill they are looking for is one of the others in the list.
From what I've seen, MySQL tend to be used when a company doesn't consider the data important enough to pay for an Oracle license. When a company wants an enterprise-class database -- they use Oracle.
That said, it's often hard for newbies to get a job working with Oracle *because* the data is critical and companies want experienced individuals. Ii is likely easier for a newbie to land a MySQL position without having years of experience than to land a position working with Oracle. Working with MySQL for a couple of years might be an excellent route to getting the experience to move into a position working with Oracle. I can't say -- I've never tried.
>...as a beginner what kind of test would be good ?
For Oracle, if you are starting out with SQL, then the entry test for Oracle is generally 1Z0-051: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I.

For MySQL, there are a couple of options that you can find at the link John gave.
