Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators

Duration: 5 days

Description:
This course introduces students to the new features in Oracle Database 10g - the database for Grid
computing. Students learn how to use Oracle Database 10g new features to increase database
availability, to simplify database performance monitoring and tuning through the use of Oracle
Database 10g Advisors, and to offer simplified database manageability. The course also covers
security and some development platform changes that students need to understand if applications
running in databases support the related features. Hands-on practice sessions give students an
opportunity to examine many of the new features for themselves.
