Maximum Availability Boot Camp

 
Home

 

Seattle - May 5 - May 9
 
RAC - Data Guard - 
Maximum availability is not something you can achieve by installing a single piece of hardware or configuring a single initialization parameter. Maximum availability is a convergence that comes from deploying the right hardware, the right database, the right options, and deploying specific pieces of the tech stack correctly.

This PSOUG hands-on Boot Camp is convergence of the result of merging some existing PSOUG classes with new materials to bring together the pieces of the puzzle required to implement maximum availability in your organization.

The following outline is for a five day DBA Boot Camp being offered in Seattle Washington, May, 5 to May 9, 2008. The class will be limited to a maximum of 8 students.

If you are interested please contact the PSOUG office at 206-547-1600. Only $2495.

Day 2 - RAC Cluster Management

9:00-10:30am Session 3 What is a database
A discussion of the components of an Oracle database that are both physical and logical structures including datafiles, tempfiles, tablespaces, tablespace groups, control files, log files, pfiles, and spfiles. The discussion will include storage best practices with the focus on understanding how SAN, NAS, iSCSI, and other storage solutions interact with the Oracle database and how to optimize performance and minimize cost.
10:30-11:30pm Lab 3 Storage
Students, using the data dictionary, will explore the default database files and then create new tablespaces, data files, tempfiles, and learn how to drop and create a new UNDO tablespace.
11:30-12:00pm Session 4 Extent Management
This instructor led discussion, with live demos, will teach students the techniques for determining space usage and predicting space requirements. Also covered will be the UNDO advisor for properly sizing the UNDO tablespace.
12:00-1:00pm Lunch
1:00-2:30pm Lab 4 Extents Lab
Students, using the tools discussed in Session 5, will design a schema, use the DBMS_SPACE built-in package to predict space requirements, and design the required infrastructure. They will also, using DBMS_STATS examine space utilization of existing structures.
2:30-3:30pm Session 5 Tables
This instructor led discussion, with live demos, will cover the different types of tables available in Oracle including HEAP, CLUSTERS, COMPRESSED, EXTERNAL, GLOBAL TEMPORARY, INDEX ORGANIZED, PARTITIONED, and XML.
3:30-4:45pm Session 6 Indexes
This instructor led discussion, with live demos, will cover the different types of indexes available in Oracle including B*TREE, BITMAP, BITMAP JOIN,  COMPRESSED, DESCENDING, FUNCTION BASED, INVISIBLE, NO SEGMENT, and REVERSE.

An essential part of managing any Oracle database installation is creating users, managing their privileges, and providing an infrastructure that meets requirements for governance and compliance.

This instructor led session will teach students both the issues and the solutions.
