| Hi there Laloca,
How r u? Well my post is not regarding 9i but regarding 8i Backup and Recovery. You were kind enough to give me your notes for the Admin exam, which helped a lot and I passed with 86% thanks to you. I was wondering if you have anything similar for the backup and recovery exam, i would really appreciate the help. Thanks a lot!
Cheers! | |

| laloca,
Recently passed OCP 8i track after playing hide and seek for last couple of years. Thinking to get over with 9i also while I am in this grove. I have a lot of material for 8i (all 4 main exams). Still looking for stuff in 9i.

| aneesh,
the really BAD thing with this exam is, that you need some experience and a good understanding of the theory. RMAN questions are about scripting where you need to know the basic syntax like:
rman > create script rec_database {
2> allocate channel d1 disk;
3> Recover database;
4> release channel d1;
5> };
Check the UNCATALOG feature ;-) and the difference between restore and recover (quite important in RMAN).
There are no GUI oder Enterprise Manager questions, I had all my practise on a Linux box. Try to understand the coherence between redologs, archivelogs and database files, especially how to deal with corrupt or lost files. Most are practise questions:
"After attempting this and that, you realize
this is not possible ... How can you fix the problem?"
I can remember 1 or 2 questions about transportable tablespaces.
Hope that helps  | |

| Hi Laloca,
You probably don't remember me but you answered one of my posts when I was considering how to get cetified in Oracle. What you said encouraged me a lot. Thank you.
I recently passed the IZO-001 but am having problems preparing for the IZO-023 exam. It seems the books I am using is insufficient - When I do the STS, I see many questions that are not covered at all in the book. Do you have any suggestions for a better book? Also if you can share your notes with me on this subject and other certification topics, I'll be grateful. I'm aiming to get all the 8i exams and the upgrade to 9i exam out of the way asap.
Thanks

! Maybe not all topics are in the depth you may prefer, but it's a word file so you can add your own stuff wherever you need
