This is an intensive 3-day hands-on Oracle RAC features overview. This course is a comprehensive overview of Oracle RAC.

Unlike other Oracle RAC training classes, this course examines all Oracle RAC features with an eye on those features that are the most important to your shop. The course content can be customized according to your specific Oracle RAC configuration.

This hands-on Oracle RAC training is special because this course is taught by a veteran Oracle Certified DBA with years of full-time experience.
 

    Oracle 10g Grid & Real Application Clusters

Mike Ault, Madhu Tumma

ISBN 0-9744355-4-6

This course 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.
 

 

This Oracle RAC training was designed by Steve Karam and Donald K. Burleson.  Authors of more than 30 database books, Burleson was chosen by Oracle Press to write five authorized editions, including Oracle High-Performance SQL tuning. Burleson Consulting instructors offer decades of real world DBA experience in Oracle features, and they will share their secrets in this intense hands-on Oracle RAC training.
