Course Description
This Oracle 11g courseware training guide book will allow the student to gain the skills necessary for day-to-day administration of an Oracle database. Administration of the Oracle database management system (DBMS) software environment and of the server systems on which the DBMS runs is one of the primary tasks required of database administrators. While it is true that the hardware and software platforms on which the DBMS runs have become increasingly complex, as has the database software itself, the capabilities provided by the Oracle database have correspondingly become more sophisticated.
Course Objectives:
The overall objective of this training course is to allow the student to gain the skills necessary
for day-to-day administration of an Oracle database. These training materials are the starting

command-line SQL*Plus, and terminal console SSH
• Database deinstallation
• Online software patching
• Startup and shutdown of database services and related software components
• Super administrator authentication options
• An in-depth exploration of the database architecture, including memory, process and data
structures, and the management of those structures.
• Management of database files.
• Specialized facilities intended to maximize performance of enterprise-scale transactional
applications, such as the shared SQL and PL/SQL cache, the Result Cache, the database buffer
cache, and other similar components.
• Management of security policies and procedures, including administration of user accounts,
roles, privileges and profiles.
• Utilization of advanced self-tuning and self-management capabilities, including the use of
Oracle-Managed Files, database Advisors and other components of the Management
Framework.
