This course focuses on those features of Oracle Database 11g that are applicable to database administration. Previous experience with Oracle databases (particularly Oracle Database 10g) is required for a full understanding of many of the new features. Hands-on practices emphasize functionality rather than test knowledge.

Overview This course is designed to introduce you to the new features of Oracle Database 11g that are applicable to the work usually performed by database administrators and related personnel. The course does not attempt to provide every detail about a feature or cover aspects of a feature that were available in previous releases (except when defining the context for a new feature or comparing past behavior with current behavior). Consequently, the course is most useful to you if you have already administered other versions of Oracle databases, particularly Oracle Database 10g. Even with this background, you should not expect to be able to implement all of the features discussed in the course without supplemental reading, especially the Oracle Database 11g documentation. The course consists of instructor-led lessons and demonstrations, plus many hands-on practices that allow you to see for yourself how certain new features behave. As with the course content in general, these practices are designed to introduce you to the fundamental aspects of a feature. They are not intended to test your knowledge of unfamiliar syntax or to provide an opportunity for you to examine every nuance of a new feature. The length of this course precludes such activity. Consequently, you are strongly encouraged to use the provided scripts to complete the practices rather than struggle with unfamiliar syntax.
