Course Overview
COMP 4670 is no longer offered. This updated hands-on course continues on from COMP 1630 and is designed for students who already understand relational database design, and who have a working knowledge of SQL programming. Students use Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition database software to create and administer a new database, then configure the database to support an application. Topics include; creating users, defining storage structures and setting up security. Participants will also learn how to protect the database by designing a backup and recovery strategy, as well as how to monitor the database. Participants are required to purchase mandatory Oracle University course materials in e-Book format. The official Oracle materials are $300 in addition to the course tuition. After registration, call 604-434-1610 to arrange purchase of the specific Oracle e-Book course material prior to the first class. Please note that the e-Book is personalized for each student by Oracle and this cost is not refundable. BCIT is a member of the Oracle Workforce Development Program and this course fulfils the Instructor-Lead-Training requirement for the Oracle 11g certification.
