What's inside

Syllabus

Project Overview

This Guided Project Data Warehousing with Oracle: Design a Database for Business Intelligence is for learners who have database administration and data warehousing experience but want to learn more about designing databases and models for business intelligence. In this 1.5-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to evaluate the guiding principles of data warehousing, summarize data from multiple sources, and apply data warehouse business intelligence tools. To achieve this, we will work through the guided steps using Oracle MySQL Workbench. This project is unique because you will gain hands-on experience on how to design and implement databases for operational business intelligence. You will create data models, integrate data from various sources, and apply data governance principles using Oracle. In order to be successful in this project, you will need prior knowledge of database management and data warehousing. Prior knowledge of MySQL Workbench and Tableau is optional but helpful.
