The Oracle Database Foundations Certified Foundations Associate exam does not assume any hands-on experience with Oracle Database products. However, to be successful, you need a basic understanding of the different types of database models and components. In addition, you need to know how tables are designed and the types of relationships between tables to manipulate data via SQL queries as well as familiarity with mapping of ERD model into relations.
These practice tests will help you prepare for the Oracle Database SQL 1Z0-071 Practice Exam.
