John wrote the EXAM Guide!

This course provides you with the skills necessary to create and administer an Oracle database.

In this class you will concentrate on the skills and best practices required for day-to-day database administration tasks such as security, creating and managing users, space management, administering undo and redo, running utilities, configuring Oracle networking, and simple backup and recovery techniques.  An in-depth discussion of Oracle instance and database architecture is also provided. The final three topics are optional for this course, as they are covered in real detail elsewhere in the curriculum. However, if time permits and students are interested, they may be covered to a certain extent.

The course is run on the current release of database, but the instructors (OCM John Watson unless otherwise noted) will “back-port” the course to earlier releases where behavior has significantly changed and it is relevant to the students.

    That the instructor knew the material. He didn\'t just read screens. He talked about the different points on the screen, show examples of when to use which options, and walked through the examples. He is very comfortable with the subject.


    I received the pre class information 3am the date the class started. For me that was 7am. I had know time to read through the emails and be prepared for class. For a class starting on Monday it would be good to have the information on Friday morning.


    No. John was good about extending the time for the exercises if we were not done when the scheduled time elapsed.

    John , our instructor explains the minute details of oracle settings and what happens internally in Oracle when you change settings .
    You can\'t go wrong learning from an Oracle Certified Master


    I would suggest to may be increase the class length to include some additional topics

    John is fantastic at what he does and he makes it fun. Overall the course is very good.It contains the information needed to learn how to administer databases in ORACLE and learn the basics of an Oracle database architecture.


    The course contains a lot of information that I believe would be best taught in a lab setting with actual realistic examples. The workshops were OK, but there was nothing realistic about them, or they were too simple to drive in the lesson home.


    Spread it out to 5 days, give more realistic workshops, and give a bit more time to work on the workshops with a quick review of what the results should be of the workshops. Overall, everything was fine, and John is an awesome instructor.

    Use of Paint as a white board was good, as was use of Powerpoint to show the Oracle process for commit.
    Also, it was good that the second instructor (Dave A) could update the chat, re-enforcing the points made by John.

    The instructor. Very knowledgeable.


    Little more time for to complete the lessons. Some of the topics like backups were briefly discussed due to the size of the topic. Maybe allow more time for this area and shorten other areas like tables?

    [Instructor: John Watson] This course was definitely not light on content (like several courses - not skillbuilders, of course - that I have attended). It is nice to get that much value out of a week-long training.


    [Instructor: John Watson] The delivery of this course was probably the best out of several online courses I have attended. Everything worked well.

    [Instructor: John Watson] Good review of the basics. I got my initial [Oracle Database Administration] training over four years ago as a neophyte, so I was looking primarily for "tips and tricks" to help me with my better understanding. Happily


    The exercises were great, but there simply wasn't enough time to cover all the material and do the exercises. I was using my break time to work on them. We are also working DBAs, and the last two hours of the classes are hard to pay attention to whe


    The online format works well with a small group. But I would invest in a shared whiteboard app to make drawings easier and interactive. Even something simple like awwapp.com or flockdraw.com would be better than Paint.
