• Understand new features like PDB keystores and encryption of sensitive data in Database Replay files of the Security.
• Benefit from new features like reuse of preplugin backups and duplication of active PDBs into an existing CDB of RMAN.
• Use new features like private temporary tables and online modification of partitioning and subpartitioning strategy of General Database.
• Configure and use new features like Automatic In-Memory Management in Performance.
• Manipulate new features like inline external tables and polymorphic table functions of the Data Warehousing.
• Understand enhancements like user-defined sharding method and support for PDBs as shards in Sharding.

Benefits to You
