  Electronic commerce depends upon the storage and processing of transactions in databases. Many e-commerce sites have databases attached to Web pages. Florida Community College's programs in Database Technology give students experience in three popular databases, Microsoft Access, IBM's DB2 Database and Oracle. We are an Oracle Academic Initiative (OAI) Partner with Oracle Corporation. The Oracle courses in the database programs also provide a foundation for students preparing for the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) exams. This degree prepares students for job entry in database fields including database applications development and database administration. Students learn skills necessary for design, development, maintenance, management, and administration of comprehensive relational databases for corporations and organizations. Graduates may seek positions as database developers, database programmers, database administrators and database consultants. An internship experience is provided with this degree to allow work experience in database technology.
