Transitioning to Oracle 11g/12c SQL

Course:  OR11SQL2
Duration:  3 Days
Level:  II
Course Summary

You will receive a hands-on introduction to advanced SQL concepts, especially as they relate to Oracle's implementation of the SQL Language. Topics necessary to the development and basic administration of an Oracle 11g or 12c database are also covered.

This course is specifically designed for those who know generic SQL but are not familiar with SQL*Plus and more importantly, Oracle's implementation of SQL.

A two-day version of this course can be presented by dropping just a few of the sub-topics that cover lesser-used capabilities of Oracle's SQL tools.  The course can also be presented with content specific to Oracle 10g.
