ORACLE 11G PERFORMANCE TUNING DAYWISE SYLLABUS

Course benefits
This course will help participants learn effective Oracle tuning techniques for
optimizing performance in the Oracle server environment. Topics in this course
are troubleshooting application performance, by analyzing the various options
available in Oracle 11g like wait events, hints and creating/ modifying existing
physical, logical structures, understanding various new structures available in
Oracle to improve performance.
Oracle Database 11G offers improved administration and maintenance features,
including an expanded automation toolset. This assists in maintaining vital data
and allows organizations to ensure high availability, performance and integrity
of their database systems.
Who should attend?
This course is valuable for candidates who have good knowledge in
Oracle 11g SQL, PLSQL and some prior knowledge in DB concepts.
Sessions reinforce the learning objectives and provide participants the
opportunity to gain immediate, hands-on reinforcement of the ideas you are
learning.
