Meet your certification guide on the journey to Oracle DBA
The Oracle DBA Certification track now consists of three levels - Associate (OCA), Professional (OCP), and Master (OCM). This valuable kit helps you attain success at each level, providing clarification of the complex material along with plenty of practice that covers all exam objectives.
OCP Oracle Certified Professional on Oracle 12c Certification Kit is the ideal tool for preparing for the OCA and OCP exams.

The OCA study guide is designed for those with some Oracle experience and a background in operational management and maintenance, covering one hundred percent of the material on exams 1Z0-061 and 1Z0-062. Once you're OCA certified, the OCP guide prepares you for exam 1Z0-063 by drawing on your experience with backup, recovery, and cloud computing to master database architecture, RMAN, multitenant architecture, and more. Along the way, you'll have access to robust study tools including review questions, bonus practice exam questions, electronic flashcards, and an appendix of additional lab exercises that give you hands-on experience in preparation for exam day.
* Review data handling and the creation/maintenance of Oracle databases
* Understand database architecture and the functionality of ASM
* Configure projects for recoverability and backup with RMAN
* Learn efficient space management, multitenant architecture, and more
The addition of multitenancy to Oracle 12c makes an up-to-date study guide crucial for thorough preparation. You must be able to demonstrate your expertise in all aspects of the Oracle environment within a limited time frame, so studying early and often is the surest route to success. If you're ready to tackle these challenging exams, OCP Oracle Certified Professional on Oracle 12c Certification Kit can give you the confidence you need.
