Student Success
Dear 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!
