Student SuccessDear Ms Brannon,I'm enrolled in CSC440 this semester, "Database Management Systems," a senior-level course at NCSU. I think you, and your students will be tickled to know that aside from some coding to connect java into SQL, there is nothing in this course that wasn't covered in Oracle I (Database Fundamentals and Programming).Oracle has carried me much, much further. The experience I gained in Oracle is worth so much more than any AP class in high school could have given me. Thanks!
