This Oracle OCP
DBA exam review training is designed for the practicing Oracle
professional but it is useful to anyone interested in learning
Oracle database administration. This includes Oracle
developers, Oracle DBAs, Oracle web developers and any computer
professional who needs to understand the architecture of an Oracle
database. The course assumes a basic knowledge of computer
programming techniques, relational database concepts, SQL, and
basic Oracle architecture.
|
This Oracle DBA
training was designed by Donald K. Burleson. Author of more
than 30 database books, Burleson was chosen by Oracle Press to
write five authorized editions, including Oracle High-Performance
SQL tuning. Burleson Corporation instructors offer
decades of real world DBA experience in Oracle features, and they
will share their Oracle secrets in this intense Oracle
tuning training.
Learning Objectives:
The primary
objective of this Oracle OCP training is to provide each student
with the knowledge and testing secrets for passing the Oracle OCP
DBA exam. The student will gain confidence in their Oracle
DBA knowledge and learn the tricks and traps of the Oracle OCP DBA
exam.
Using a proven
training combination of intense instruction, practicum and
numerous Oracle sample exams, the student should have a firm
understanding of Oracle Database Administration.
The student will
successfully install and configure a working Oracle database,
create tablespaces and files, manage security and user access, and
create tables, index-organized tables, cluster tables, indexes,
bitmap indexes, function-based indexes and bitmap join
indexes. The students will also master Oracle data dictionary
internals and understand how to monitor Oracle with the v$ and DBA
views.
