The Oracle9i Database Administration: Create a Database course is the second in a five-part series covering the database administration strategies and procedures provided in Oracle9i. Participants learn about the concepts associated with storage structure components management of rollback segments temporary segments and indexes. In addition this course discusses how to create and maintain databases. The course also covers the new features of Oracle9i such as Oracle Managed Files and Undo tablespaces and the new features of the LogMiner utility.
