Overview
This course will teach delegates how to use Oracle Data Guard to help protect the Database against planned and unplanned downtimes. The Data Guard architecture is used to create physical and logical standby databases, including Primary Database Configuration, Implementation and Monitoring which will be covered as well as a standby role for reporting, querying and testing purposes.
Who Should Attend
Database Administrators & Support Engineers.
Prerequisites
Attendance of the Oracle 11g DBA Part 1 and 2 courses and Oracle SQL knowledge.
