Course Overview

Oracle Database 11g includes an increased range of tools that can be used to ensure full protection and recovery from failure. Those responsible for administering Oracle data need an in-depth knowledge of these tools to ensure optimal database availability. In this course you gain extensive hands-on experience with backup strategies and recovery techniques on Oracle databases. You employ a set of automated tuning tools to mitigate poor resource allocation and enhance database performance.

Audience

  • Those interested in safeguarding and tuning Oracle 11g databases.
  • Knowledge of database administration at the level of Course 927, "Oracle Database 11g Administration", is assumed.

Skills Gained

You Will Learn How To
  • Implement backup and recovery strategies to safeguard Oracle 11g databases
  • Configure the database for fault tolerance
  • Perform backup and recovery with Recovery Manager and Oracle Enterprise Manager
  • Maintain high availability with hot standby databases using Oracle Data Guard
  • Alleviate bottlenecks by tuning the Oracle 11g server memory components
  • Automate server tuning with the workload repository and diagnostics information

Hands-on Training
