- Selecting the leading table
Parallel Processing
Requirements
- Confident command of SQL basics and familiarity with the Oracle database environment (completion of the 'Native SQL for Programmers - Workshops' training, preferably on Oracle 11g, is recommended)
- Practical experience working with Oracle

Testimonials (2)
1. I liked the trainer's style of presenting and the patience to explain. 2. I liked that the trainer answered our side questions, even the ones that took the discussion a bit farther from the presentation, which showed flexibility. 3. I liked that there was a practical lab, not just a theoretical part. 4. I liked that it was online.
