The oracle documentation is great, but a bit dry in terms of reading through every manual in order to become a DBA?

Maybe start with the Concepts guide and the 2 day DBA guide?

http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage

Maybe download and install the software from

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html?

And maybe do a manual installation rather than an automatic one so that you can read up on the concepts and the further detail for each step that you need to do? Received on Mon Apr 02 2007 - 04:00:04 CDT
