I read the list of course. Or post a question on how to do something.

I have a quirky sort of memory that jogs me with "I seem to recall having read something sort of along those lines" when I have a problem. And I've found that the answer either has already been posted or I post the question and get the answer (usually multiple times) from the list

I can't learn everything, certainly can't learn everything about Oracle. I recall a presentation you did, where you talked about how large the documentation set was, even if you only read the DBA related manuals (I think at the time you said there were something like 20,000 pages in the doc set and 9500 of them DBA related). And this was for 8i. It's gotten worse in 9i, and with Oracle dedicated to releasing new versions about every 18 months, the problem is only going to grow. I can't read and learn all the new stuff before something newer comes along.

Case in point: while doing the updates for Oracle DBA 101 for 9i, we only had 9iR1 available, as R2 had not been released. We wrote about DataGuard and the 4 ways to set it up. By the time the book was ready to be printed, 9iR2 was out and Oracle had already changed DataGuard to have only 3 ways to configure it. We were lucky, we managed to catch it and change it after page proofs but before printing.
