Oracle management server with only one database going to 9i

We will be changing from a 8.1.7 to Oracle 9i.

I would like to impliment some "best practices" right from the start. Being rather green, 5 day dba course, makes you a dba at our shop. I have done some research into Oracle Management server.

I was thinking of implementing this in our shop, even though it will only be monitoring one database, possible two. The reason for the management server that perked my interest, in that fact that I can use RMAN for backup, but the real reason was using it for event monitoring.

We do not have the man power to continuely look at the alert log, and we are always creating scripts to monitor table sizes, etc.

I was wondering if this would be a good thing, and is it commonly used for one database.

I am also looking at how much overhead it needs. Size RAM ect. Is there a good READ about this?

Is there any best practices for moving to 9i? Received on Tue Jul 06 2004 - 09:08:24 CDT
