Oracle SQL Performance Tuning (Coursera)

Offered by EDUCBA,
Oracle SQL Performance Tuning (Coursera)

This course is designed to provide you with skills needed to improve query performance in Oracle databases. In real-world scenarios, slow report generation and query execution often result from the sheer volume of data. To address this issue, this course covers topics such as Query Compilation and Execution, Indexing, Materialized Views, Common Table Expressions etc. Emphasis is on practical learning with step-by-step demonstrations.

Syllabus

Understanding Necessity of SQL Tuning
In this module, you will identify the demography of the tables. Different data types will be explored. Also, select statement execution will be elaborated.

Query Optimization Techniques
In this module, you will understand the different techniques offered by Oracle to know how any select statement gets executed internally. This module also describes the compilation process of any select statement.

Indexing Strategies
In this module, you will interpret how indexes contribute to enhancing the performance of a query, and the hazards of a full table scan are covered.

Performance Tuning Tools and Techniques
In this module, you will understand how hints can be useful to uplift the query execution process. A querying technique known as Inline view is covered. An Oracle object temporary table’s usage for solving real-life problems is depicted.

Data Manipulation at Scale: Systems and Algorithms (Coursera)

Data analysis has replaced data acquisition as the bottleneck to evidence-based decision making --- we are drowning in it. Extracting knowledge from large, heterogeneous, and noisy datasets requires not only powerful computing resources, but the programming abstractions to use them effectively. The abstractions that emerged in the last decade blend ideas from parallel databases, distributed systems, and programming languages to create a new class of scalable data analytics platforms that form the foundation for data science at realistic scales.
