01 · Learn

What you will learn

Diagnose connection pressure and propose a configuration change with its scope, memory effect, and safe rollout.

  • Measure connection use before raising limits
  • Know where a setting applies
  • Budget memory for concurrent work

02 · Use it

Why this matters

Connection and memory settings interact, so raising one limit can make the service less stable rather than more available.

03 · Practise

What you will do

Read each short section, answer a quick understanding check, then use real SQL to solve a guided task in your own temporary database.

04 · Prove it

How you will finish

Pass the SQL lab and the module assessment. Your result is saved to your signed-in account, and a module certificate is created if you pass.
