That's a wrap - Certifications 2022

Hi all,

I decided to take all the 2022 OCI exams to check what changed and guide people taking these certifications.

Well, not all exams. I did only the ones that I did in 2019/2020/2021 and are the things that I work on a day-to-day basis. 🙂

I also did some other Cloud Vendors Certifications and of course my preferred certifications (Oracle Database 🙂)


Here, you can find a list of links to help you achieve these certifications.

How to study for 1z0-106 - Oracle Linux 8 Advanced System Administration Exam

Hi all,

I have 3 vouchers(Now, it's called "Oracle Exam Attempts") to use until December/18 (I won participating in the Oracle Cloud World) and I decided to take the Linux 8 exam as my third exam.

After a few weeks of studying Oracle Linux 8, especially the changes from previous versions, I cleared the exam.

The exam consists of 60 questions (very well elaborated) and you have 1.5 hours.
This exam is intended for people who use OEL 8 in their day-to-day activities as Linux Admin and not for Oracle DBAs.

If you have ULS, this is a good starting point:

You have about 60 hours of videos and thousands of PDF pages.

If not, the Oracle Linux 8 Documentation and previous experience with OEL 8 will be fine.

Review the exam topics, everything will be at the exam:







And last but not least, stay away from Brain Dumps!

Best of luck

How to study for 1Z0-076 Oracle Certified Professional, Oracle Database 19c: Data Guard Administrator

Hi all,

I have 3 vouchers(Now, it's called "Oracle Exam Attempts") to use until December/18 (I won participating in the Oracle Cloud World) and I decided to take the DG19c exam.

After a few weeks of studying DG, especially the new features, and reviewing many concepts, I cleared the exam.

The exam consists of 74 questions (very well elaborated) and you have 2 hours.
I submitted the exam when I had only 4 minutes and didn’t have time to review the marked questions.

If you have ULS, this is a good starting point:


This course is delivered by Seam Kim, one of the best OU instructors.
You will see a lot of good examples to clarify the concepts.


For this exam, I should have studied more about the multitenant features related to DG and logical replication.

Almost all customers are using DG, but usually, they prefer to use Oracle Golden Gate for logical replications and upgrades with minimum downtime.

Review the exam topics, everything will be at the exam:





And last but not least, stay away from Brain Dumps!

Best of luck
