Oracle9i Database Administration Fundamentals II

Description:

Develop your ability to manage the industry's most advanced information system. Learn several methods to backup and to recover your Oracle database. Hands-on workshops give you experience in a realistic technical environment. Develop skills for basic network administration. Simplify your duties with Oracle Recovery Manager. This course gives the Oracle database administrator (DBA) a firm foundation in Oracle Net administration and backup and recovery operations.

Students learn about transporting data between databases and the utilities used to perform these activities. Students are also introduced to networking concepts and configuration parameters, as well as how to solve some common network problems. In hands-on exercises, students configure network parameters so that database clients and tools can communicate with the Oracle database server.

This course also addresses backup and recovery techniques, and examines various backup, failure, restore and recovery scenarios. Students also examine backup methodologies based on business requirements in a mission critical enterprise. Students use multiple strategies and Oracle Recovery Manager to perform backups, and restore and recovery operations. This course includes two interactive workshops that provide participants with the opportunity to walk through numerous real-world networking, backup, and recovery case studies.

This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle 9i Database Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement.
