Teach him to write a resume...

Dear all !

I'm leaving my current job soon , but before i leave i need to teach one of the developers here some very-very basic DBA / DBO stuff. This guy is going to support our existing databases .

I'm just wondering what should i teach him . The training must be short and very practical .
He knows some basic SQL already .
I thought of briefly giving him some Oracle instance/database concepts , i.e. what is instance , SGA , background processes , database , tablespace , rollback segments .
Then i thought of just showing him how to shutdown / start up the instance and the listener .
Then a short session on SQL*Loader ( we use it a lot here ) , exp/imp . I also gave him the Kevin Looney's "Oracle DBA Handbook" to take a look at .

Am i missing something ?

Please advice .
Please note that taking a course is not an option for us .

Thanks a lot .
Andrey .
