I rather think that if one is dumped on from a great height like this guy has been treating the DBA job as analagous to the SA job is the exactly right approach. He will absolutely need to know that the data is backed up and that the db is up and running. the stuff you talk about below will come in time (some of it just after management complain that they have spent all this money on Oracle and SQL Server outperforms it 3 to 1 <g>).
