Oracle Database Administration Professional requires 1Z0-082 followed by 1Z0-083. The first establishes architecture, storage, users and basic operations; the second is where the difficulty lives — RMAN backup and recovery, multitenant administration, upgrades and failure diagnosis.
The pairing mirrors the job: most of the day is routine administration, and the value of a DBA shows up during a recovery.
Oracle credentials in this track do not expire, though they are version-anchored, so a newer database release eventually brings a newer exam pair.
