• High availability and disaster recovery (e.g. Data Guard configuration failover testing)
• Backup and recovery (e.g. RMAN backups point-in-time recovery)
• User and access control management (RBAC)
• Advanced features (e.g. partitioning materialized views)

Exadata Operations
Strong understanding of Exadata architecture including:

• Storage management (e.g. Storage Cell configuration Intelligent Storage Pool)
• Performance optimization (e.g. In-Memory technology InfiniBand networking)
• Integration with Oracle database features for optimal performance

Microsoft SQL Server
Expert-level understanding of SQL Server administration including:

• Performance optimization (e.g. query tuning indexing strategies)
• Security best practices (e.g. Always Encrypted data masking role-based security)
• High availability and disaster recovery (e.g. Always On Availability Groups Failover Clustering)
• Backup and recovery (e.g. transaction log backups point-in-time recovery)
• User and access control management
• Advanced features (e.g. partitioning replication)

MySQL Databases
Expert-level understanding of MySQL administration including:

• Performance optimization (e.g. query optimization buffer pool management)
• Security best practices (e.g. user privileges encryption in transit and at rest)
• Replication configurations (e.g. master-slave multi-master replication)
• Backup and recovery (e.g. mysqldump binary backups)
• Advanced features (e.g. partitioning stored procedures)
