RE: new to DBA

The Oracle documentation is a good thing to read. I would start with the concepts manual. However, I recommend going out and purchasing a third party book geared towards a new DBA. I heard rumours that "Oracle DBA 101"
from Oracle Press is a good book but I have not read it myself. I am just going by the half a million recommendations for the book.... I would also get a book on backup and recover. Again, I would go with the Oracle Press copy. I would buy that one, even if you don't have time to read
it yet, as its pretty easy to follow if you do need to recover a database.

I would also try and talk management into sending you on an Oracle course.

Best of luck. If you are a solid Unix administrator you should do fine as a DBA. Its pretty much the same mentality.

Hi dear all

A few days ago I was surprised by my IT manager who has offered to me to administer local Sun box with Oracle 8i.

I have a near-deep experience with Solaris system administration (about 4 year) but I have doubts regarding administration of Oracle+Solaris.

>From what I must to start to deeping into DBA business? Is it enough -
careful reading of Oracle documentation? I really confused ;-[

thank you!
