1
00:00:01,310 --> 00:00:04,360
Hello, my name is
Steve Ries, and I'm
2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,630
the author of Oracle
Database Administration 12c--
3
00:00:07,630 --> 00:00:10,480
the program that
you're listening to.
4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,520
I wanted to tell you a
little bit about myself
5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,290
so that you have some
familiarity with me
6
00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:17,170
as we go into this
study of Oracle 12c.
7
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:19,540
I've been an Oracle
DBA for over 15 years,
8
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:21,040
and I've had the
opportunity to work
9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,100
on some very large systems,
some very complex systems
10
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:25,960
in some major companies.
11
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,210
I currently consult with
the Department of Defense
12
00:00:28,210 --> 00:00:30,640
and do work for the United
States Marine Corps.
13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,430
I'm very familiar with all
aspects of Oracle Database
14
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:35,590
Administration, but I'm
considered a specialist
15
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:38,200
in Oracle Real Application
clusters, which
16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,390
is Oracle's
clustering technology
17
00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:41,800
for high availability.
18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,680
So I have been using Oracle
Real Application clusters
19
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,630
and its predecessors
for many years,
20
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:49,120
in building high
availability systems.
21
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,610
In addition to my
regular work as a DBA,
22
00:00:51,610 --> 00:00:54,730
I've also taught Oracle classes
at Johnson County Community
23
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:58,240
College in Kansas for
nearly a decade, where
24
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,170
I've taught hundreds of students
the necessary information
25
00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:04,930
in order to become an Oracle
certified professional.
26
00:01:04,930 --> 00:01:07,060
And I have been an Oracle
certified professional
27
00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:08,060
for a number of years.
28
00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:10,900
In fact, I have five different
Oracle certifications, as well
29
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,150
as some other industry
certifications,
30
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:14,800
such as security plus.
31
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,720
I was very fortunate to be
a contributor to the Oracle
32
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,420
12c beta program.
33
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:23,470
So I was working with Oracle
12c for about a year before it
34
00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:25,660
was actually released
to the general public.
35
00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:27,160
And that was something
that I always
36
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,540
wanted to do in my career,
and I was very thankful
37
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:30,580
when I was able to do it.
38
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:35,620
So I was able to really dig into
Oracle 12c from an early time.
39
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:38,600
I've been a speaker at Oracle
Open World a number of times,
40
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,450
particularly on
database security
41
00:01:40,450 --> 00:01:42,970
as it pertains to the Department
of Defense and the Marine
42
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:43,630
Corps.
43
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:46,150
I've had the opportunity
to author a few works.
44
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:48,850
I'm the author of two
award-winning white papers.
45
00:01:48,850 --> 00:01:51,520
One of them was
on the comparison
46
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,640
of Linux versus Windows
as an Oracle platform.
47
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,890
So we did a number
of tests and came up
48
00:01:56,890 --> 00:02:00,790
with some conclusions about the
different platforms themselves.
49
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:02,360
And how they run Oracle.
50
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,860
My second paper was on Oracle
Real Application clusters
51
00:02:05,860 --> 00:02:09,670
and looking at it from a cost
benefit analysis of whether
52
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:13,180
or not you could really use
commodity cheaper hardware
53
00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:16,960
running RAC, as opposed to
a big monolithic system that
54
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,490
would cost more money.
55
00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:20,170
Several years ago, I
had the opportunity
56
00:02:20,170 --> 00:02:21,530
to write my first book--
57
00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:24,880
which was Oracle OCA
11g SQL Fundamentals--
58
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,830
A Real-World
Certification Guide.
59
00:02:26,830 --> 00:02:28,960
And so my goal
here was to create
60
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,880
a different certification guide.
61
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,010
I had taught
certification classes
62
00:02:33,010 --> 00:02:35,710
for a number of years
using different books
63
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:38,650
and wasn't always happy
with how they attempted
64
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:40,360
to give that information.
65
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,370
A lot of it was not structured.
66
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:44,140
I didn't think in
a learning way.
67
00:02:44,140 --> 00:02:46,480
It wasn't put together
with lots of examples.
68
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,420
Really was more of
a reference book
69
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:49,840
to make sure you
passed the class.
70
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,510
And students would really
need more than that.
71
00:02:52,510 --> 00:02:54,370
They would need something
that could really
72
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:55,700
teach them from the ground up.
73
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:57,820
Because there was lots of
different kinds of people
74
00:02:57,820 --> 00:02:59,530
that are looking
for certifications
75
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:00,950
in the Oracle realm.
76
00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:03,340
And so, I was very happy
and fortunate to have
77
00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:05,200
the opportunity to
write that book.
78
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,180
And then about a
year after that,
79
00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:08,800
I began work on my
second book, which
80
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,050
is the second in the
certification series--
81
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:14,230
Oracle OCA 11g Database
Administration 1--
82
00:03:14,230 --> 00:03:15,730
I Real-World
Certification Guide--
83
00:03:15,730 --> 00:03:19,060
where I continued the same idea
and the same thinking, just
84
00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:20,560
for a different subject.
85
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,410
So I hope you enjoy
this series of videos.
86
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:26,230
And I try to bring all that
experience and knowledge
87
00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:28,940
into a situation where
you're able to really learn
88
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:31,270
because this is something
that I'm really excited about.
89
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:32,780
I've done this for a long time.
90
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:35,660
I've had opportunities to work
in different areas of the IT
91
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:36,160
realm.
92
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,950
And really have stuck to
Oracle Database Administration
93
00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:40,300
because I really like it.
94
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,670
I really think it's
logical and it makes sense.
95
00:03:42,670 --> 00:03:45,370
And I think Oracle Database
is a great product so I
96
00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:47,450
hope you enjoy it, as well.
