Oracle® Database, Oracle's Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), serves as the database platform for applications and enterprises of all sizes, from modest single-instance small business databases to high-availability computing grids implementing cluster databases with Oracle RAC Database and Oracle Clusterware.

Non-technical end-users can easily query data with industry-standard SQL (Structured Query Language), while developers can use both basic and advanced features of SQL including Online Analytic Processing (OLAP) functions, data warehouse features, a variety of index and table types, and PL/SQL, Oracle's procedural language extension to SQL (allowing creation of triggers, stored procedures and functions, and packages), to develop scalable and robust enterprise solutions. Database Administrators use SQL, PL/SQL, and tools including backup, recovery, and data export/import and loading utilities, as well as Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) DBConsole and Grid Control to implement and manage the database files and instance processes, to configure Oracle Net Services, and to manage backup and recovery.

Oracle 11g continues Oracle's manageability and grid-computing evolution, with new development and administrative features.

The Oracle Database courseware in this category is designed to teach both end-users and developers accessible but powerful SQL query and data manipulation (DML) skills, then to teach developers critical programming and optimization techniques using advanced SQL and PL/SQL features; and to teach the architecture and practical skills necessary for administrators to create and manage an Oracle 11g database.
