Oracle8 Database Administrator Curriculum
The Oracle8 Database Administrator Curriculum is the industry’s most
comprehensive set of courses for the Oracle DBA. The curriculum is
designed with one objective, to make you successful with Oracle.
Each individual class is based on a set of key DBA tasks, and combines
comprehensive theoretical background and rigorous hands on applications
of the skills learned.
We recommend you take Oracle8: Database Administration and Oracle8:
Backup and Recovery Workshop in quick succession. Put your new skills

into practice for about three months of real-world experience before
sharpening your knowledge in Oracle8: Network Administration and
Oracle8: Performance Tuning Workshop.
Detailed course descriptions and availability are available from
/>Instructor Note
Note that all classes in the curriculum path support Oracle7 and Oracle8. Likewise
all classes support the tests for the Oracle7 DBA Certified Oracle Professional
(OCP) program. For more information on the OCP program, point students to

Introduction
Oracle8 Enterprise Edition
Oracle8 Enterprise Edition is an object relational database that is scalable
and easily manageable. The administration of the basic enterprise edition is
discussed in this course. However, the following options provide additional
functionality:
• Partitioning: provides facilities for implementation of large, scalable
applications (It enables control over tables and indexes at a lower level
of granularity than is possible with the basic enterprise edition.)
• Oracle Parallel Server: requires special hardware and software, and it
can improve the availability of a database
• Oracle Enterprise Manager Performance Pack: built on top of the Oracle
Enterprise Manager, Oracle Enterprise Manager Performance Pack is an

add-on that provides DBAs with a set of tools for advanced diagnostics,
monitoring, and tuning of Oracle environments.
• Objects: enables users to define user-defined types that are representative
of real world structures, and use them to develop applications.
• Advanced networking: provides client-server, server-server network
security using encryption and data integrity checking, and supports
enhanced user authentication services, using third-party security services
