This course offers a very practical deep dive into Oracle GoldenGate with a strong focus on GGSCI commands and real-world usage. I liked that it goes beyond theory and covers monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational scenarios you actually face in production. The interview-focused questions and explanations are especially helpful for articulating concepts clearly. The toolkit-style content makes it easy to revisit key topics when needed. A solid course for anyone preparing for hands-on roles or interviews.
