Overview
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. This course is the starting point for Oracle database administrators and also sets the foundation for advanced administrator training and certification.

Audience
The primary target audience for this course is Oracle database administrators. Oracle web server and application server administrators, as well as others who must manage an embedded repository database using Oracle database technology will also find this information useful. This course is also recommended for technical consultants, support engineers, project managers and other technical management and support personnel.

Prerequisites
Many students taking this course have familiarity with system administration and administration of other non-Oracle databases, and this is helpful though not mandatory. Specific course prerequisites for this course are these titles:
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G: SQL FUNDAMENTALS – COMPLETE LIBRARY
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G: PROGRAM WITH PL/SQL – COMPLETE LIBRARY

Suggested Next Courses
This course should be considered the first part of the integrated database administrator curriculum. Therefore, in the not-too-distant future one should proceed to the follow-up course
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G: ADMINISTRATION II.

Certification
This course along with its prerequisites cover information necessary to complete the certification test EXAM #1Z1-052 ORACLE DATABASE 11G: ADMINISTRATION I.

Objectives
Major tasks to be considered within this course are:
• Software installation and the creation of new databases.
• 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.
• Performance monitoring, problem troubleshooting, and resolving lock and conflict issues.
• Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager and SQL interfaces for administration tasks.
• Control over database support services, including the Database Control, Oracle Net and others.
