After this course you can plan, deploy and reliably run databases, whether on premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid setup. You monitor performance, protect data through roles and encryption, test recoveries and integrate data flows cleanly. The content follows the new DS0-002 exam version. It suits you if you already administer databases, or are regularly responsible for them as a systems or DevOps engineer, and want to consolidate your knowledge with the exam in mind.

Frequently asked questions
Does the course cover V1 or V2?
It follows V2 with code DS0-002. CompTIA lists V1 as the retiring version and recommends V2.
Is the course tied to one database system?
No. CompTIA describes relational and non-relational databases across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. The exercises show the concepts on one specific system.
Does CompTIA DataSys+ (DS0-002): deploying, running and securing databases include a certificate?
This course prepares you for exam DS0-002. The exam and its fees are included only if confirmed in the offer. The certificate comes from CompTIA. This is not an official CompTIA course.
