Exam 1Z0-051 - Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I

Studying up for the quiz concept

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is essential for managing data in a relational database management system (RDBMS). Oracle has been the leading player in the RDBMS game for quite a while now, and while you may occasionally hear opinions to the contrary, that position of preeminence is likely to remain secure in the foreseeable future.

 

Oracle certification expert Matthew Morris has created a series of practice tests at his site, Oracle Certification Prep. These free practice questions are a sampling of what you'll find there. After you try these questions, visit Oracle Certification Prep for (paid) access to a full 1Z0-051: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I practice test.
