This course advances your success as an Oracle professional in the area of database administration. In this class, you’ll learn how to configure an Oracle database for multilingual applications. You will practice various methods of recovering the database using RMAN and Flashback technology. Database performance monitoring tools will be covered, in addition to the steps to take to resolve common problems and improve performance. You will also learn how to administer a database efficiently by using database technologies such as the Resource Manager, the Scheduler, Automatic Storage Management (ASM), and VLDB features. You will set up a secure database using Virtual Private Database, and learn how to efficiently move data from database to database. The lesson topics are reinforced with structured hands-on practices and a workshop. This course is designed to prepare you for the corresponding Oracle Certified Professional exam.
