    Oracle exams are very hard icon_sad.gif

    I recommend you as first exam Exam 1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I. You will find several books on Amazon and a CBT Nuggets video training.

    Is that hard ? What the average fail rate for the exam ? What exactly is hard part at the exam ?

    I m asking because i remember people said LPIC1 is hard and it proved to be easy . Atm i m learning for the second exam on Oracle Certified Professional, MySQL 5 Developer and i started with 0 SQL knowledge and yes i had allot to learn but i would not call the exam very hard.

    Oracle doesn't publish statistics. You must know that MySQL5 Dev exams was made by MySQL AB (even not Sun). Oracle didn't modify those exams. Also Sun Solaris exams was easier back then, than now with Oracle.

    What is hard? When you read a "SQL Fundamentals I" study guide, you need to know and understand everything 100%. For example LPIC1 and LPIC2 exams you can pass even when you don't understand 100% of the study guide.

    051 = SQL Fundamentals I, 052 = Administration I

    Amazon.com: SQL Fundamentals I 1Z0-051

    Amazon.com: Administration I 1Z0-052

    I used Oracle Press, Oracle Certification Prep (short before exam) and Sybex
