Oracle Multitenant Administration Course Overview

Prior to 19c, Oracle only allowed a single user-defined pluggable database (without having to license the full multitenant option). Oracle have announced that from 19c onward there can be 3 user-defined PDBs, without having the multitenant option. The non-CDB architecture has been deprecated from 12.1.0.2. From Oracle 21c the non-CDB architecture will be de-supported. An upgrade to 20c will also include a migration to the multitenant architecture. Now is the time for DBAs to move to Oracle 19c multitenant. When the move to the next long term Oracle 23c support release is made, the basic multitenant features will be understood by the DBAs and can be taken advantage of immediately.

This Oracle Multitenant Administration course is designed to give experienced Oracle Database Administrators practical experience in using the container and pluggable database features that have been introduced from Oracle Database 12c. Delegates will learn how to create, manage, administer, tune, backup, restore and recover container and pluggable databases. Delegates will also learn how to implement security and auditing features in a multitenant environment. They will gain an appreciation of how the Multitenant Architecture features may be implemented at their own sites.

Similarly, the course is targeted to closely follow the official Oracle Database curriculum for certification.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

Notes: The focus of this course is on the usage of container and pluggable databases. The Oracle Database 12cR2, 18c and 19c New Features for Administrators course covers the general new features that have been introduced in Oracle Database 12cR2, 18c and 19c.

Versions supported 19c, 18c, 12c.

Requirements

Delegates who wish to attend this Oracle Multitenant Administration course should have administration experience of Oracle Database. This knowledge can be gained by attendance on the pre-requisite Oracle Database 19c Administration course. Knowledge of using PL/SQL packages is strongly recommended.

This course is run on a Linux operating system, therefore a good working knowledge of UNIX/Linux is required. This knowledge can be gained by attendance on the pre-requisite Linux Introduction course.

Where Oracle 19c courses are listed in the Pre-requisite Courses section equivalent Oracle 18c or Oracle 12c courses would also suffice.

Course Reviews

Marian was very knowledgeable and delivered the course at a perfect pace building the knowledge incrementally. Course notes were very thorough.

Mark - DBA - Manufacturing - October 2024


Outstanding training works extremely well as an on line course. Trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful with questions. You will not be disappointed with this course and the workshops are very useful

Duncan - DBA - Academic


Very good course and excellent value, Marian was able to adapt the material to our specific needs, it worked well technically despite being run remotely, and we were grateful for the opportunity to have a trial run beforehand. I feel this has been a very useful refresher for me and was extremely useful for our two oracle specialists as they had the opportunity to run through practical scenarios directly applicable to our circumstances. We would definitely request Marian in the future as our trainer.

Emma - Database Team Leader - Professional Services


The trainer is very knowledgeable and her training ethic is very professional. Very good Trainer.
