Pump Your Data Pump Skills

Oracle Data Pump is a powerful tool for moving data between databases, but many users only scratch the surface of what it can do. That’s why we created a hands-on lab that will take you beyond the basics and into the details.

Get started with Supercharge data movement with Data Pump.

What Can I Learn

If you invest two hours, this is some of what you get in return:

  • Apply best practices
  • Deal with LOBs effectively
  • Speed up imports using NOVALIDATE constraints
  • Use checksums and encryption to validate your dump files
  • Monitor and trace a job
  • Start a job using the PL/SQL interface

If you’re looking for more details, check out the lab instructions.

The lab runs in Oracle LiveLabs.

Never Stop Learning

Help Me Grow My Skills

I received a question the other day:

I want to grow my skills in Oracle Database. Can you help me get started?

Here’s my suggestion.

Conferences and User Groups

  • You should engage in your local user group. Attending meetups and conferences is a good way of learning and boosts your network. If you need to find your local user group, try to contact one of the local Oracle ACEs.

  • Come to Oracle DatabaseWorld at CloudWorld. It takes place in Las Vegas in September. Three days of intense learning, plus a pre-conference training day.

  • If you’re based in Europe, you can attend one of the major user group events.

    • DOAG 2024 Conference + Exhibition hosted by the German user group, DOAG. Many sessions are in English, even if you don’t know German it is definitely worth a visit.
    • UKOUG Conference ’24 hosted by the UK user group, UKOUG.
    • On other continents, I assume there are similar conferences, but I’m mostly familiar with the ones in Europe.

Webinars

  • My team has 20 webinars on YouTube that you can access at any time. It’s all tech, no marketing.

  • Further, the DBA Masterclasses has many very good webinars as well.
