- What will you gain from the training?
Training objectives
During the training, the participant will acquire knowledge of the operation of advanced mechanisms available in the Oracle environment responsible for searching and analyzing data. The participant will master skills in extensions of multidimensional aggregations, cases of the complex use of analytical functions, division of complex queries, regular expressions, data rearrangement and data modeling. The knowledge and skills imparted during the training on the new options and solutions included in Oracle Server 12c, including pattern matching, determining the scope of data presented, as well as new options for joining tables, are particularly important. There is also valuable information on increasing command performance, including the use of materialized views.
Skills
As a result of the training, the participant will:
- Execute complex queries to display data based on various merge options,
- Execute hierarchy-based reports using hierarchical queries,
- Create reports with complex multi-level aggregations, using Rollup and Cube clauses,
- Apply regular expressions in advanced data mining and processing,
- Utilize analytical functions for advanced operation on data sets and windows trailing, neighboring rows
- Apply data modeling using Model clause and dimensions, measures and partitions
- Perform pattern matching queries, searching for specific sets of values
- Optimize queries by selecting appropriate query constructs and creating materialized views.
