1) Oracle 1Z0-149

2) Oracle Database SQL 1Z0-071

3) Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals 1Z0-061

4) or any other oracle exams? I've no idea about it.

I've finished learning a 20hrs sql course. It took me probably 100hrs to finish the course as I went slow. I'm confident with the basics. But few things I need more practice on(not that I don't know them but still confused). They're:

1) Aggregate functions and GROUP BY.

2) Transactions & concurrency control

3) Procedures, Views

4) Subqueries

I thought the obvious next step would be take some oracle certification (I won't give exams as I don't earn that much, just study for the exam).
If there are other DBA certification except Oracle, do tell me? We use microsoft sql server and mysql at work but I've already learnt enough sql for work. (we just need basic select query at work).
