Three serious suggestions, two more worth considering ...
- Install and learn to use Oracle Enterprise Manager. This provides a
GUI to work around all this. The visual aspects may help you continue at
a reasonable pace and should assist with most of the concerns you raised
(but are no substitute for experience);
- Spend a lot of time in the Concepts manual at http://docs.oracle.com
(aka http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/content.html);
- Plan on taking some significant training - online stuff at
http://otn.oracle.com > "Oracle University" is not too bad ;
- Look at the cost of decent consulting (or look at Oracle's outsourcing
offering);
- Polish your resume .... any organization that puts the health of it's
data assets as a low priority is subject to rapid cardiac arrest.
