Oracle Database 11g: Analytic SQL for Data Warehousing - LVC

: 1 Day
What you will learn
In this course students use Analytic SQL to aggregate, analyze and report, and model data. Students learn to interpret
the concept of a hierarchical query, create a tree-structured report, format hierarchical data, and exclude branches from
the tree structure. Students also learn to use regular expressions and subexpressions to search for, match, and replace
strings.
Before attending this course, students should be familiar with relational database concepts, data warehouse theory and
implementation, Oracle server concepts including application and server tuning, and the operating system environment
on which the Oracle Database Server is running. Students use Oracle SQL Developer to develop these program units.
SQL*Plus and JDeveloper are introduced as optional tools.
This course is intended for data warehouse builders and implementers, database administrators, system administrators,
and database application developers who design, maintain, and use data warehouses.
Learn to:
Use Analytic SQL to aggregation, Analyze and Reporting, and Model Data
Group and aggregate data using the ROLLUP and CUBE operators
Analyze and report data using Ranking, LAG/LEAD, and FIRST/LAST functions
Use the MODEL clause to create a multidimensional array from query results
Interpret the concept of a hierarchical query, create a tree-structured report, format hierarchical data, and exclude
branches from the tree structure
Use regular expressions to search for, match, and replace strings
