Distributed Queries
- Query plan analysis for dblink usage
- Selecting leading tables
Parallel Processing
Requirements
- Proficiency in basic SQL and familiarity with the Oracle database environment (preferably with prior completion of training such as 'Native SQL for Programmers' on Oracle 11g)
- Hands-on practical experience working with Oracle

Testimonials (2)
1. I liked the trainer's style of presenting and the patience to explain. 2. I liked that the trainer answered our side questions, even the ones that took the discussion a bit farther from the presentation, which showed flexibility. 3. I liked that there was a practical lab, not just a theoretical part. 4. I liked that it was online.
