A good overall DBA tool to consider would be "Reveal for Oracle: Administrator". You can download the full product and try it out at the RevealNet WebSite: http://www.revealnet.com

Reveal is a MS Windows Knowledge Base which covers over 1,800 topics focused on the day-to-day responsibilities of an Oracle DBA. An ongoing survey with RevealNet customers indicates that the product is helpful in answering between 70-80 percent of technical questions faced by DBAs.

Reveal's topics are extremely well-written, and packed with examples, diagrams and high-quality, reusable scripts and coding techniques.

Hope this helps,
