Course Curriculum

The first part of the course covers relational database principles and Oracle concepts; writing basic SQL statements; restricting and sorting data; and using single-row functions. Additionally, this course provides an introduction to relational database concepts and the use of SQL for storing, retrieving, and manipulating data in a relational database.

  • Identify the components of the relational model.
  • Match the structural elements of a relational database table with their descriptions.
  • Sequence the phases of the system development life cycle.
  • Match the types of SQL statements with their descriptions.
  • Match the capabilities of SQL SELECT statements with their functions.
  • Identify the guidelines for constructing basic SQL SELECT statement.
  • Write a query that restricts rows returned by using the WHERE clause.
  • Write a WHERE clause to accommodate different datatypes.
  • Use comparison operators with the WHERE clause.
  • Identify the different categories of datatypes.
  • Match the character datatypes with their descriptions.
  • Identify the features of the NUMBER datatype.

The second part of the course covers joins, group functions, subqueries, and the iSQL*Plus report variables. Additionally, this course shows students how to access data from multiple table using joins, aggregate data using group functions, create subqueries, and use iSQL*Plus commands to create customized queries.

  • Identify the four Oracle join types used to display data from more than one table.
  • Identify a Cartesian product.
  • Retrieve rows from two tables by using an equijoin.
  • Identify the features of a group function.

Distance learning/Self Study

All courses are designed to offer you the student the convenience of studying from the comfort of your own home or workplace, working at your own pace in the way that is most suited to your lifestyle and career commitments. Working at your own pace means that you are more likely to learn the subject in-depth as you are not under pressure to compete with other students who may be better or worse than, so you will never lag behind or be waiting for somebody to catch up.

Keimos Database Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This “learning by doing'” model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.

database operations manager

The work

A database operations manager is responsible for organising, operating and maintaining information in a database. Databases store information such as customer names and addresses, stock records or accounts. Many organisations use databases including:

Database managers have a range of responsibilities including: They are also responsible for making sure that users understand the need to comply with the Data Protection Act.

They work closely with systems analysts in making changes to the database. Overall systems design decisions are performed by systems analysts; detailed database design is performed by database operations managers.

An organisation’s information needs change, so knowledge of the latest technology to recommend improvements to the system is important. Database operations managers work closely with information technology (IT) managers on a day-to-day basis.

Skills and Interests

As a database operations manager, you should:

Entry

There is no single route to becoming a database operations manager - the main requirements are having the right knowledge, skills and experience for the job. Qualifications are an important part of demonstrating these, and although a degree is often required, there are many other recognised academic and vocational qualifications.

Whilst the larger graduate recruiters may take trainees from any discipline, smaller employers generally require knowledge in specific computer languages, software packages or operating systems. Many employers will require a good honours degree. For others, experience in programming will help.

Many database operations managers move into this work from the business side of an organisation. However, they must have some experience in systems programming or systems design, and they often have a degree or higher national award, which can be in any subject. Experience can be just as important as qualifications for many jobs.

Training

The majority of training is on the job, supplemented by short internal or external courses as appropriate, and progress will be helped by taking additional manufacturers courses. Some IT companies offer specific certifications in their products.

Graduate Apprenticeships in IT may be available for people in England. These integrate study at degree or diploma level with structured work-based learning.

Many young people enter IT work directly through Modern Apprenticeships at Foundation and Advanced level, or Skillseekers and Modern Apprenticeships in Scotland. There are no set entry requirements but employers will want to be sure that applicants are motivated, enthusiastic and can benefit from the training.

Opportunities

Opportunities can arise within any organisation that makes use of computerised databases.

Specialist information technology bureaux, which provide a database service to clients, also employ database operations managers.

Managers can progress in their career by moving to another employer for a post with greater responsibility. Alternatively, they might transfer their skills to other areas of computing work, such as systems analysis, network management or general management.

Self-employment or freelance work is sometimes possible, and there are an increasing number of experienced database operations managers who do contract work.

Databases

Oracle8i/9i (DBA)

Curriculum is designed to give the Oracle Database Administrator (DBA) a firm foundation in basic administrative tasks and provide the necessary knowledge and skills to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot an Oracle8i database.
