PM5: Tools and Techniques for Using Oracle NoSQL Database

In this workshop, you will learn how to set up a highly available NoSQL database cluster and perform operations such as online expansion. In addition, you will gain an understanding of the basic architecture and tools available for monitoring and managing HA processes.

With a database cluster in place, we will explore the basics of interacting with the database via command line interfaces, useful for development data modeling, query prototyping, data loading, and more. Finally, we will end with an exploration of the API by developing an application that stores, updates and queries data using the database cluster.

After completing the workshop, you will have learned the basics of Oracle NoSQL Database:

Cluster Setup
Cluster management and monitoring
Schema development and query prototyping
NoSQL application development

Tutorial Instructions: Hands-on lab materials will be provided during the lab by the instructors. Please bring a Laptop with VBox pre-installed. You can download VBox from: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
