I have an interesting request from a customer to review the Oracle
configuration on a couple servers for best practices. I've been checking
things over; I haven't had a chance to talk to the customer yet, but seeing
from the load I'm guessing they aren't in production yet.

Right now I've just looked at the very basic things that tend to come back
and bite later on, or are just good things to configure in general:
backups, multiplexed control/redo logs, memory settings, patch levels, log
rotation, etc... but then again not all of them may be necessary, depending
on the customer's needs.

Has anyone created some kind of generic best practices document, or a
checklist of some kind? Arup Nanda's document from 2007 has some good
points, so I would be looking for something like that I suppose.

Thanks,
Justin
