Gain a solid understanding of Oracle’s core architectural components, including memory structures, background processes, storage architecture, and instance management. This module lays the foundation for building and maintaining reliable, scalable database systems across all Oracle versions, from 11g to 23ai.

Explore tools and techniques such as AWR, ASH, SQL tuning advisor, and execution plan analysis to resolve performance bottlenecks and ensure peak efficiency.

Delve into Oracle RAC, Data Guard, Active Data Guard, Flashback technologies, and Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance (ZDLRA) to build highly available and disaster-resilient systems.

This module equips participants with the skills to implement and manage enterprise-grade database security in compliance with regulatory and institutional standards. It includes:

• Transparent Data Encryption (TDE): Learn to protect sensitive data at rest by encrypting database files, tablespaces, and backups using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
• Oracle Database Vault: Understand how to enforce separation of duties and prevent unauthorized access by privileged users. Implement realms, command rules, and factors.
• Auditing and Fine-Grained Access Control: Gain proficiency in database activity auditing using Unified Auditing and implement fine-grained access policies for tables, views, and PL/SQL packages.
• Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall (AVDF): Monitor, alert, and report on suspicious database activity in real time to meet compliance mandates such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and Basel norms.
