I use this list, oracle forums.
There are a lot of forums/sig groups that are just for specific items. - Rac,
discoverer
and I join the ones I want more information, input.
I check daily at lunch or other times I need a break or looking for some new
ideas.
I also have a number of favorite sites I go to Tom Kyte, Steve Chan, Steve
Adam.. etc.
Go to different Oracle Events. There a a number of free Oracle events through
out the year and I make new contacts there and build a network of people to
bounce ideas off of.

That's basically where I am - I can usually manage everything, but it
would be great to have at least one other DBA here to just bounce things
off of and get someone to challenge my ideas - that's how I get better
I try to replace that with lists like this one, but the one problem with
being subscribed to a handful of lists like these is the sheer volume of
e-mails that I just do not have the time to sort through until the
weekend... which usually means I do not benefit from the conversation at
hand at the moment.
Does anyone else use the lists like that? Are there any good forums that
you would recommend?
Thanks,
Brad

I have learned to deal with being the lone DBA but not having someone to
bounce ideas off has been the biggest disadvantage for me.
