I second the response from Volker.
I think that I am a pretty good team player, but when I was ask to
provide basic documentation on "How to solve Oracle database problems",
so that the help desk could solve any problems without having to
contact a DBA, my response was that they should all become DBAs.
An Oracle 8 DBA handbook is over 800 pages, and things aren't getting
simpler. It's hard to know what you will need, because even simple
tasks like shutdown and startup can get tricky if you don't know about
parameter files, listeners, alert logs ...
