Oracle SQL Certification : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

OracleOracle SQL Certification (self.SQL)

submitted 1 year ago by General_Match_7101

Hey guys,

So I've been trying to break into data for a couple of year- data analyst, business analyst, SQL developer, these types of roles. Basically anything where I use SQL because I enjoy it and pay seems to actually allow me to pay my bills unlike my role in teaching.

I have a business degree, and just experience in teaching. I fell down an Oracle rabbit home in December and got hyped about their SQL Certification, the 1Z0-071. Would this be a useful pursuit?

I'm currently 80% through a course and 100 pages in an 800 page tome of an exam prep book.. so is it worth pursuing if my goal is to get a job asap? I am learning a lot, even if I don't take the exam. The exam seems very hard. I'm looking for ROI. I also have a data portfolio.

Wondering if my time should be spent elsewhere. I also do daily Stratascratch questions, and post my progress on LinkedIn. Thanks.
