Oracle Database Foundations

Position in the series

This is the first of four courses in a Specialization that aims to give beginners the foundations for working with Oracle databases. The description asks learners to follow the courses in sequence.

What it prepares you for

The skills listed include Oracle databases, database design, relational databases, database management systems, database architecture and administration, and data storage. Together they form a conceptual base rather than a set of commands, which is useful before any hands-on Oracle work.

Who should start here

• Complete beginners with no prior database experience.
• Anyone planning to continue through the later courses in the sequence.

Because the Specialization is designed as a sequence, starting elsewhere would skip the groundwork the later courses assume.
