RE: new DBA/DBO basic training

[Norwood Bradly A]

I recall that brainbuzz.com has good study guides....they are used for OCP training, but are a good source of Oracle basics. 

It might be less intimidating that Kevin's old handbook which remains a gentle introduction to all things Oracle.

 

If you only take him through backup and recovery,then just about anything else is forgivable if production is not aggravated seriously.

Subject: new DBA/DBO basic training

Dear all !

 

I'm leaving my current job soon , but before i leave i need to teach one of the developers here some very-very basic DBA / DBO stuff.

This guy is going to support our existing databases .

 

I'm just wondering what should i teach him . The training must be short and very practical .

He knows some basic SQL already .

I thought of briefly giving him some Oracle instance/database concepts , i.e. what is instance , SGA , background processes , database , tablespace , rollback segments .

Then i thought of just showing him how to shutdown / start up the instance and the listener .

Then a short session on SQL*Loader ( we use it a lot here ) , exp/imp .

I also gave him the Kevin Looney's "Oracle DBA Handbook" to take a look at .

 

Am i missing something ?

 

Please advice .

Please note that taking a course is not an option for us .

 

Thanks a lot .

Andrey .
