RMan installation and usage
===========================

RMAN (Recovery Manager) is Oracle's backup and recovery DBA tool. Although
you don't have to use this tool for your backup and recovery plan, some
companies expect you to know it (for some DBA jobs) and it can make your
life as a DBA easier.

Buffer Cache size advice
========================

New in Oracle 9i: Buffer cache size advice.. This handy new feature will
be included in Oracle 9i's Enterprise Manager. Its always best when the
final choice isn't taken away from the DBA, but advice is available.

Oracle 9iAS Best Practices
==========================

Oracle has just released a series of whitepapers detailing Best Practices
for Oracle 9i Application Server. Note that you must scroll down a bit as
the Best Practices section is not immediately visible.

The papers cover:

- HTTP Security 
- Globalization 
- Performance and Scalability 
- Java Applications 
- Pooling
