Re: New born DBA.....
Hi ! Welcome to the world of DBAs. And you have got some good suggestions too.. This mailing list a good place to ask questions (and get answers). Read Kevin Loney and Rama Velpuri. The titles are Oracle 8i DBA Handbook and Oracle 8i Backup and recovery hand book. Religiously try all the backup/recovery case studies. You will become master one day.. :0 Read Oracle Documentation. It has plenty of information in it. Espicially Oracle Server Concepts and Performance Tuning Manuals along with Backup Recovery manuals. Read the mails/newsgrups. It is nice place to simulate experience. There is another DBA listserv also there. Subsribe to both the lists and brose the mails. Read ***ALL** mails from Steve Adams, John Kanagaraj (Where is he now a days), Gaja Vaidyanatha, etc.. ( Use the mailbox message rules (or fileter rules!!) for better spam control. I have few message rules which redirects some mails to TRASH based on the sender.(May be able to give the list offline..:) And here are few websites.. http://www.orafaq.org http://www.ixora.com.au http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk http://www.lonyx.com Wish you all the best !! = Have a nice day !!

Re: New born DBA
shameless plug get the book _Oracle DBA 101_ it has not only that kind of list, but lots and lots of other good stuff. and you can always ask one of the authors questions right here on the list.;-) /shameless plug did i do good rachel?;-) Question for the authors here (offline responses ok): with book-writing for technical issues, are these usually work-for-hire affairs or royalty-based? I ask as a DBA who does a small amount of (travel-related) freelance writing on the side. With the relatively higher price tag of technical books but lower number of sales, e.g.: SELECT count(*) from BOOK_SALES where SUBJECT = 'DATABASE ADMINISTRATION'; SELECT count(*) from BOOK_SALES where SUBJECT = 'PERSONAL FINANCE'; Which works out better for technical authors? Work-for-hire (flat one-time fee, publisher purchases the copyright) or royalties? My guess is work-for-hire unless the royalties are a generous percentage of list price (versus net). I've heard co-authors of technical books receive as little as USD (or should that be USC) 25 cents a book when royalties are paid. Thanks. - Dana __ Do You Yahoo!?
