We also introduce the critical subject of initialization parameters and how they are stored in the server parameter file (SPFILE). Related Exam Objectives: Setting database initialization parameters; Describe the stages of database startup and shutdown

6. Managing the Oracle Instance Part 2 (00:31:32)

Alert Log and Trace Files. The Data Dictionary. Dynamic Performance Views.

We also formally define the data dictionary and learn to query both data dictionary views and dynamic performance views to gather instance/database metadata. Related Exam Objectives: Using alert log and trace files; Using data dictionary and dynamic performance views

7. Configuring the Oracle Network Environment (00:47:20)

Configuring and Managing the Oracle Network. Using the Oracle Shared Server Architecture. Summary: As you know, Oracle Database 11g is a client/server relational database management system (RDBMS). To that end, in this lesson we learn how to configure the Oracle network environment for maximum reliability, performance, and security. We also differentiate between the dedicated server and shared server process architectures, weighing the relative pros and cons of each approach. Related Exam Objectives: Configure and Manage the Oracle Network; Using the Oracle Shared Server architecture

8. Managing Database Storage Structures (00:39:54)

Reviewing Oracle Data Storage. Understanding Tablespaces and Datafiles. Creating and Managing Tablespaces. Summary: As we know, the physical files are what comprises the Oracle 11g database, proper.

Related Exam Objectives: Overview of tablespace and datafiles; Create and manage tablespaces; Space management in tablespaces

9. Administering User Security (00:47:49)

Creating and Managing Database User Accounts. Granting and Revoking Privileges. Creating and Managing Roles. Creating and Managing Profiles. Summary: Oracle databases often contain highly sensitive data. Therefore, keeping the database as secure as possible is a chief task of any Oracle DBA. In this lesson we learn how to create and manage user accounts. We then examine how best to grant and revoke permissions by using roles. Finally, we learn how to institute password complexity rules and resource utilization limits by rolling out profiles. Related Exam Objectives: Create and manage database user accounts; Grant and revoke privileges; Create and manage roles; Create and manage profiles

10. Managing Data and Concurrency (00:40:26)

Understanding Transactions. Monitoring and Resolving Locking Conflicts. Summary: Any RDBMS worth its salt will support multiuser access. Oracle 11g is known particularly for its adherence to the ACID properties of database transactions. By concluding this nugget you will understand how to define and manage transactions in Oracle. You will also learn how to diagnose and resolve user process locking problems. Related Exam Objectives: Monitor and resolve locking conflicts; Transactions and undo data

11. Managing Undo Data (00:29:31)

Multiplexing the Redo Log Files. Understanding Undo. Managing Undo. Summary: Undo data in Oracle enables us to restore previous data values if needed as well as provides us with multi-user access to database data. In this nugget we'll learn how to multiplex the redo log files and manage the undo tablespace and datafiles. Related Exam Objectives: Overview of Undo; Transactions and undo data; Managing undo

12. Implementing Oracle Database Security (00:34:00)

Reviewing Database Security Tasks. Using Standard Database Auditing. Summary: Here we revisit the subject of database security (it's a really important concept if you haven't put that together yet). Specifically, here we concentrate on a "laundry list" of security-related DBA tasks. Then we transition into a consideration of standard database auditing. Related Exam Objectives: Database Security and Principle of Least Privilege; Work with Standard Database Auditing

13. Database Maintenance (00:42:01)

Managing Optimizer Statistics. Managing Automatic Workload Repository. Using Advisory Framework. Setting Alerts. Summary: Like a vehicle or most other mechanical possessions, we need to perform regular maintenance to keep those items tuned up. The same thing goes for Oracle Database 11g. In this nugget we get a flying head start on the myriad self-tuning options supported by Oracle Database 11g. Sometimes we might think that Oracle does self-management so well that we can leave the DBA business!
