Yesterday, I concluded yet another of my courses in Urdu regarding Oracle Database Administration. It was a free course at the local study center of AIOU, and ran for 5 working days, 4 hours a day. The medium of course was Urdu language, and it went so smoothly.

The course covered the Oracle 11.1 on OEL 5, and encompassed installation, backup/recovery, monitoring and architecture. The course was intended for 8 people but in a pleasant surprise, more than 15 people turned up, and we had to switch to a bigger room.

Given the scarce resources, it was a huge success I reckon. I propped my laptop high on the rostrum, as there was no projector or multimedia and the attendees circled it. Their enthusiasm and interest for the Oracle was awe-inspiring and I myself learned a lot.

Looking forward conducting a similar course yet again due to numerous requests after Eid holidays.
