As you are probably aware by this point in the Oracle MySQL5 Developer certification process, there are two exams that must be passed as part of the requirements. In this article, we will explore the basics of the Oracle MySQL 5 Developer Certified Professional exams, so that you know what to expect and we’ll reveal the one thing that you must do to be successful.
Both of theses Oracle exams are structured in a similar fashion, containing 70 questions that must be answered within a 90-minute time period. Where they differ, however, is in their content. The 1Z0-871 exam consists of the following topics: Client/Server Concepts; The MySQL Client Program; Connectors, data types, and Identifiers; Databases, Tables, and Indexes; Querying for Data; SQL Expressions and Updating Data.
The 1Z0-872 contains the following content topic areas: Joins, Subqueries, and Views; Importing/ Exporting Data, User Variables and Prepared Statements; Stored Routines and Triggers; Obtaining Database Metadata; Debugging MySQL Applications and Basic Optimizations. Of course, you should expect and be prepared for much more specific item coverage to be included among the questions.
