As a new DBA, you need to quickly understand how to secure your server, optimize performance, and safeguard your data.

You'll cover tasks in areas such as hardware and security, backing up and restoring your data, as well as fixing slow queries by adding indexes, and more. Finally, you'll learn about three hosted solutions for database management. By the end of this course, you will have gained several skills that you'll be able to use to perform everyday tasks on the job as a DBA.
