Unlike the generic Oracle 12c new features training available elsewhere, this course examines all 12c new features with a deep focus on those features that are the most important to 12c availability, performance tuning and development.

What makes this 12c new features training particularly unique is that it is taught by a working Oracle Certified DBA with more than 20 years of full-time experience.
 

This 12c new features training class is designed for practicing Oracle professionals who have basic experience with Oracle. Prior experience with Oracle is not required, but experience using Oracle database is highly desirable.

Oracle 12c security enhancements

- A PL/SQL unit can have roles granted to it.
- Allowing SQL creation and management of wallets, rather than command line utilities. Allows easier remote management.
- Code-Based Access Control (CBAC):
- Data Redaction: A variation in column masking of VPD, but it doesn’t just blank the value and still allows queries against the column in the WHERE clause.
- Doesn’t affect compile time, so focusing very much on dynamic SQL.
- Encryption Enhancements:
- Enhanced Security of Audit Trail:
- Export and import wallets/keys between pluggable databases.
- Extension of the audit management package.
- inherited rights : Control accidental privilege escalation when a privileged user calls an invoker rights unit containing malicious code.
- Invoker Rights management
- Invokers rights for views.
- Monitoring controlled using dbms_privilege_capture.
- Multiple audit management privileges.
- New Separation of Duties:
- Privilege Analysis:
- Report what is used and what is not used.
- Roles for audit management.
- Single unified audit trail.
- Storage of wallets in ASM.
- SYSBACKUP – Just enough to do a backup.
- SYSDG – Just enough for data guard administration.
- SYSKM – Just enough to perform basic key management tasks.
- SYSOPER – More limited than SYSDBA, but still very powerful.
- Tracking direct privileges and privileges via roles
- Useful on invoker rights, since now the PL/SQL can run with user privileges and explicitly granted roles for the unit.
- When the unit runs, any dynamic SQL running can have the privileges granted via the role.
