Ingres Operations Management

Ref: LKIOM


This three day course provides a detailed overview of the Ingres II relational database system. It is designed to enable delegates to manage an Ingres installation: to configure the environment, set up databases and ensure reliability and integrity.

Delegates should be familiar with the appropriate (UNIX) operating system and have experience of systems management and ideally some experience of a relational database.

The course uses a hands on approach. At the end of the course the students should be familiar with Ingres architecture together with the various Ingres commands and facilities available to manage an Ingres installation.
