I agree with the suggestion. There is however already a FAQ contributed to by members of this newsgroup at
http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html

there are also a number of other faq scattered around the place google returns 73000 hits! Notable ones are

www.orafaq.com
www.dbasupport.com

and of course technet and metalink. Please lets not create another one though I think that myths could usefully be added to the list hosted by Jonathan at http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/myths.html
