Lesson 1

This course is the third of five courses in the Oracle Database Administration Certification Series.

This course focuses on the database structures within an Oracle database. After completing this course, you will be able to

1. Create tables, indexes, and constraints
2. Assign appropriate storage specifications for tables, indexes, and constraints
3. Assign security privileges to all objects within an Oracle database
4. Use security roles to control access to database objects
5. Create and manage stored code within an Oracle database

This course will prepare you for one of the following Oracle certification exams: The alternative that is offered by the Oracle Company is the 1Z0-071 - Oracle Database SQL exam. There are little bit differences amid these two certification exams.

Question: What’s the immediate substitute for 1Z0-061 and 1Z0-051?
Exam 1Z0-071 can be substituted for all three certification tracks. This exam was previously referred to as Oracle Database 12c SQL , leading to some confusion among those still pursuing an 11g certification path. However, with the retirement of 051, this exam is now simply called the Oracle Database SQL exam. This is the general associate-level Oracle Database SQL exam.

Question: How many certifications have to be passed in order to become certified as an Oracle database administrator?
You need to pass two exams to become certified as an Oracle Database Administrator (DBA):

1. Oracle Database Administration I - 1Z0-082
2. Oracle Database Administration II - 1Z0-083

Once you pass both exams, you will earn the Oracle Database Administration 2019 Certified Professional certification.
This certification is valid for three years. To maintain your certification, you must pass a recertification exam or complete a certain number of continuing education credits (CECs) during that time.
