Educate them and make them better DBA's while at the same time honing your skills in other tasks (teaching). :-)
If they are unwilling to learn they are truly woeful.

As for Google...tough one...Oracle has so many different specialties that it is nigh near impossible to know it all. If you are mixed shop SQL and Oracle and whatever other database sneaks into the door it just gets worse. Exact syntax of certain things can be looked up online/script library/code snippet library. Concepts should be known.
