Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning

Product Description

Overview

Students learn how to use Oracle Database 11g automatic tuning features such as SQL Tuning Advisor, SQL Access Advisor, Automatic Workload Repository & Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor, & practice these tuning methods. The course focuses on the tuning tasks expected of a DBA: reactive tuning of SQL statements, maintaining SQL statement performance, & tuning the Oracle Database Instance components. Throughout the course, students practice the art of tuning an Oracle Instance through a series of workshops. The methodology is practiced in the workshops rather than taught.

This course does not address partition tuning, materialized views, or RAC specific issues as they are covered in courses specifically for these products. This course makes use of many features that require the Enterprise Edition & optional Packs.

This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle Database 11g 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 & Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement.
