Introduction to Oracle shell scripting is an intensive course that is designed to give the student
maximum exposure to Oracle shell scripts. The student learns by doing,
and this class has dozens of in-class exercises and the student
will be guided from very simple shell scripts to increasingly
complex shell scripting coding techniques.
The topics start with the basics of Korn shell
scripting
and progresses into increasingly complex queries, including advanced shell
scripts for a variety of Oracle administration activities


This course is designed for practicing Oracle professionals who
have basic experience with UNIX and Linux commands. Prior experience with Oracle is not required, but
experience using SQL with a relational database is highly
desirable.

This course was designed by Donald K.
Burleson, an acknowledged leader in Oracle shell scripting.
Burleson was chosen by Oracle Press to write the officially authorized edition
of the Oracle UNIX administration Handbook. Burleson Corporation instructors offer decades of
real world DBA experience in Oracle features, and they will share
their Oracle secrets in this intense Oracle shell scripting
training
Learning Objectives
By the end of
this course the student will be able to create shell scripts to perform common
DBA finctions including
Oracle alert log monitoring and dump management. The student will also become familiar
with the internals of Oracle shell scripting.
