Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> I am: Unix sysadmin. I need: Basic DBA skills
I am an experienced Unix system administrator. I need basic DBA
skills to for rudimentary troubleshooting and manipulation of Oracle
databases. How should I go about obtaining these skills?
Here's a list of my current skill set in regards to databases.
* I do not know much about databases, only VERY general concepts.
Here's a list of skills I'm interested in having.
* A good conceptual understanding of databases and their elements.
I am not interested in becoming a full time DBA, I just want the skills to do general assessment and handling of Oracle databases. Anything that exceeds these requirements will be handed to an experienced, full-time DBA.
I am not sure where to start, if there is a book I can look at that will get me on the right track, or if I should a training course or two.
I appreciate any helpful responses to this matter. Received on Mon Oct 01 2001 - 11:44:05 CDT
