Statistics show that a certified database administrator earns anywhere between six and ten percent more than a database administrator, who is not certified. This, and the need of better understating of the relational databases and the various database management packages, has led to boom in the number of online and offline training courses offered. When it comes to Oracle 11g, the latest Oracle release, learning all its new features and the best way to implement them could prove quite challenging. The various training programs that are offered online could be a great way to master some of the basic topics, but for better training and hands-on approach, attending a class comes highly recommended.
Learning how to use the Data Guard, which could help protect the databases from downtime and also learn more about the Data Guard standby databases and their support for various production functions, is crucial for any support engineer, database administrator, and technical consultant. The most commonly covered topics in such class would be achieving availability trough the use of DG, the basics of Data G. architecture, modifying the Data Guard services, using the Data G. broker, implementing standby databases, performing switchover and failover operations, and enabling the fast-start failover. Typically, these topics would be broken down farther into great number of smaller topics, and the course's duration would be at least three to five days in order for these topics to be covered in detail.
Before enrolling for such a course, you might want to familiarize yourself with the Oracle 11g Data Guard, try learning and understating some of its features on your own in order to be better prepared for the class. You should also try finding a training course, where the groups are small since this would facilitate better interaction with the instructor and ultimately easer understating of the material. After such course, you should gain some important skills such as creating standby databases, using, monitoring, and configuring the Data Guard, and identifying the possible reasons for planned or unplanned database downtime.
