I recently saw an excellent presentation by Lisa Dobson called 'Help! I'm a Newbie' given at the Unix Special Interest Group of the UK Oracle User Group (and it will be repeated at the UKOUG 2005 conference). It covered a range of issues, many of which don't just apply to Newbie! UKOUG members can download it from http://www.ukoug.org/calendar/show_presentation.jsp?id=3840 Lisa also has a blog that is well worth reading http://newbiedba.blogspot.com/ regards _________________________ David Kurtz PeopleSoft DBA Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/psftdba > -----Original Message----- > From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of > Patty.Charlebois@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: 18 September 2005 11:02 > To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: OT - Advice for the Oracle Newbie > > > I am trying to put together a *Newbie DBA Handbook* to be used > for new hires at my company and thought I would poll the list for > topic suggestions. > So my question to you is, if you could give a new Oracle DBA one > piece of advice, what would it be? > > TIA, Patty > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > This e-mail is confidential, intended solely for the use of the > recipient(s) to whom it was addressed.
