Oracle Database Administration Training

This 5 day Oracle Database Administration Training class will develop the key fundamental skills necessary to be an Oracle DBA. Students will design and create a server using the Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA), configure logical and physical structures, set up database and user security, add and administer users, and monitor and tune main server areas. Each student will create a toolkit of administration scripts for database management and tuning by the end of this class.

The course is inteded for non-Oracle database administrators, application developers, and system administrators.
