Oracle DBA Training

Oracle DBA Training Overview

Oracle is object-relational Database Management System created by Oracle. This Oracle DBA Training helps to provide you an in-depth understanding of the Oracle Database Server Administration. It includes various concepts like Oracle DBA Architecture, database structures, memory and process architecture, security, schema objects, data backup and recovery. DBA’s are responsible for the design, implementation, support and maintenance of computerized databases in today’s organizations. They are also responsible for security, performance and availability of data to users and customers. Here we can learn how to operate the stored data and return meaningful results to analyze the data stored. You can also opt these courses to achieve Database administration certification.
