Database management techniques and frameworks

Folks,

I thought it'd be interesting to take a survey on what techniques and frameworks DBA's on this list use to manage their Oracle databases. I imagine that some of us manage only a single database and instance, but in those configurations where there are many instances, multiple databases, different platforms/versions, etc., what are some of the strategies for management in place? What daily tasks do you perform, and how do you organize them? How do you manage user requests (individually or as part of a larger environment)? How do you handle jobs? Organization techniques? Naming standards? User/application deployment framework, etc., etc.?

(Obviously we could write a book about this -- there's an idea! -- but
summaries and pointers would be interesting. Perhaps we can come up with a best practices document and associated framework for Oracle database management.)

Thanks,

Adam
