Oracle Database Administration and Development
The Oracle Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is one of the most technologically-advanced database systems on the market. Oracle is the choice for many businesses, both big and small, to hold their precious data. However, experience with Oracle is required to take advantage of the advanced features of Oracle, convert databases running on older versions of Oracle or on other database systems to later Oracle versions, or design and implement a fast, reliable database solution.
