Objectives Audience Prerequisites 'Oracle Designer 6i: First Practice' is a set of hands-on practices designed to complement the 'Oracle Designer 6i: First Class' instructor-led and technology-based courses. One of the things about self-study is that it's sometimes difficult to put into practice the things you've learned on your own, and still be sure you've got it right. So we've created First Practice to help you, in your own time, go through a carefully designed set of practice exercises, using the actual software, and to match your efforts with sample solutions. It's a simulation of a project, just like the approach we've used in our course 'Oracle Designer 6i: First Class'. This should help you use the software tools in the right context. First Practice takes you along a streamlined path through the Oracle Designer 6i development environment. You record business requirements into the repository, transform the analysis model into design level definitions, refine the data and application designs, and generate database objects and simple Oracle Forms and WebServer applications.
