Using Oracle NoSQL Database NEW

In this course, you learn what an Oracle NoSQL Database is, what the features and benefits are and how to use it to store Big Data. You will learn what the key concepts of the NoSQL Database technology are and when to use the Oracle NoSQL Database versus an RDBMS.

The course also covers how to install and configure a KVStore. You will learn to optimize the KVStore's performance, troubleshoot errors, create and store records, manipulate data, handle exceptions and implement consistency and durability policies.

Learn To:

• Monitor and optimize Oracle NoSQL Database performance
• Perform backup, recovery, and troubleshooting tasks
• Create an application using Oracle NoSQL Database APIs
• Define Big Data and identify when to use the Oracle NoSQL Database
• Explain the key features, benefits, and components of Oracle NoSQL Database
• Install and configure Oracle NoSQL Database
