FastTrack to MySQL Database Administration
This FastTrack to MySQL Database Administration course is designed for Database Administrators who already have substantial experience in the administration of another relational database management system such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server.
The course provides practical experience in setting up and maintaining a MySQL 8 database server, including backing up, recovery, configuration and tuning. This course is also suitable for administrators of MySQL 5.6 and 5.7
The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:
- Using Client Programs for MySQL DBA work
- Using MySQL Workbench
- Obtaining metadata
- Configuring the MySQL Server
- Install and configure the MySQL Server and client programs
- Administering and tuning a server
- Upgrading a server
- Setting up character set support
- Configuring log files and using them to monitor database activity
- Interpreting error messages
- Locking and transactions
- Using different storage engines
- Maintaining Tables
- Implementing a backup strategy
- Performing physical and logical backups of data
- Administering users and privileges
- Securing the Server from common security threats
- Identify and Optimise poorly tuned queries
- Tuning Tables and Indexes
- Using the Event Scheduler
- Creating partitioned tables
- Setting up a simple replication topology
Database Administrators, Database Developers and Technical Consultants with substantial experience of an alternative relational database management system who now need to administer, monitor and support MySQL databases and servers.
At the end of the FastTrack to MySQL Database Administration course, delegates will have the knowledge to use the features available to administer, monitor and support MySQL 5.6, 5.7 and 8 databases and servers.
The FastTrack to MySQL Database Administration course will teach the major topics required for the delegate to work towards achieving the following examination:
- Oracle Certified Professional MySQL 5.7 Database Administrator Exam (1Z0-888)
Before taking any exam, ensure you have the recommended experience. The Oracle website lists all exam requirements and these are updated regularly.
Exams are not included as part of the course.
Substantial experience of administering a relational database management system such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server is required. This course is not suitable for delegates who only have experience with databases such as Microsoft Access.
This course is run on a Linux operating system platform, therefore, a good working knowledge of Linux/UNIX is strongly recommended. This knowledge can be gained by attendance on the Linux Introduction course.
Delegates who are considering attending this 3 Day FastTrack to MySQL Database Administration course should note that fewer topics are covered on this course than in the MySQL Database Administration course. This course is delivered at a much faster pace with fewer practical exercises as delegates are assumed to already have substantial experience of administering other databases.
