organized into four parts closely tracking the way your database administration career will
naturally evolve. Part 1 Database Concepts gives necessary background in relational database
theory and Oracle Database concepts Part 2 Database Implementation teaches how to implement an
Oracle database correctly Part 3 Database Support exposes you to the daily routine of a

in other books on Oracle Database. You'll discover not only technical information but also
guidance on work practices that are as vital to your success as are your technical skills. The

and configure an Oracle database and ensure that it's properly licensed - Execute common
management tasks in a Linux environment - Defend against data loss by implementing sound
backup and recovery practices and - Improve database and query performance.
