Oracle Internals

The oracle database is all about processes and shared memory and understanding the architecture of an oracle database is fundamental for solving any database issue. This course explains how the database fits with other systems in a multi-tiered architecture, including web servers, application servers and engineered systems such as the Oracle Exadata database computing platform.

You will learn everything about the database architecture, the background processes, memory structures, and storage processes and how they are tie in together. You will also learn about internal locking mechanisms, kernel module calls and database failures.
