Though i cleared all three exams in 3 days, it does not mean its that simple. I do have 14+ years experience with Oracle products and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure since its inception. Also i had to do weeks of preparation to get them cleared.

Since some one recently asked how to clear 1Z0-997, thought of putting below few points i followed. Starting with 1Z0-997 Oracle has raised the bar of toughest level of their exams. About 50 questions all with practical scenarios based.

I’ve taken the sample exam given by oracle , and practiced those sample exams by changing answers and following the related content in Oracle cloud document.
All i would suggest grab 50 sample questions from oracle. Provided one example below where i saw this question appeared two times with different options for answer in the real exam

A sample alike question appeared in exam with different options or slightly modified question.

Majority of questions were based on sample practice questions but were modified drastically.
Another example would be in sample question it looks like “an eCommerce company is running on OCI and setup Load balancer and Compute instances….”
In Real exams everything remained same and the question changed to “A fashion industry (which deals with fashion, bags, leathers etc.) running 4 Compute instances behind a Load balancer ” and few change in answer options…
Hopefully this might help someone.

Special thanks to Rohit Rathi, Flavio Pereira and Respective Oracle Product managers for Level-100/200 videos.. But to be honest in order to clear 1Z0-997 the video/training is not sufficient you have to imagine and practice a lot of scenarios.

Oracle Database 18c, Database of Year 2018

Posted on February 22, 2018 by Oracle Database 18c 0

Oracle database 18c is now available…it’s about a week since announcement made on 16 Feb.
So we download a copy and try it …

Well wait a sec..its released only on Oracle Cloud & Engineered Systems.

So what does 18c stands for, the ‘c’ of course stands for cloud, but why 18c not 13c. Why there are 6 versions skipped.
From sources like blog.oracle.com, mike dietrich’s blog it clearly states that 18c is a subsequent release of 12.2.0.2 (12c Rel 2).

Oracle has only changed the naming convention to reflect year when product released. So thus indicates now oracle will have yearly releases with quarterly updates.

So we can expect version 19c or 19x in 2019. will see how that goes.

Well its nice to see that many MOS ids/docs has also been appended to reflect 18c release. for e.g. in the upgrade compatibility matrix and many more docs where you can see 18c is officially available.

You can get more details on Database 18c and updates on MOS Document 2285040.1
For more information on Oracle 18c on Different platforms you can refer Document 742060.1.

Wanna get started with Oracle 18c, so here’s how you can start.
Step 1: Refer Oracle database 18c Documentation .
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/newft/new-features.html

Step 2: Try out Oracle 18c with LiveSQL.
