Overview
The Oracle database administrator (DBA) performs a vitally important set of tasks at an Oracle site: database monitoring, backup and recovery, troubleshooting, and tuning for reliability and performance. The DBA also plays a role in initial database design, system configuration, installation, and security planning. This book provides a quick reference to the myriad details an Oracle DBA needs on a day-to-day basis to help do his or her job well. Part I (Chapters 1 to 7) of this book provides essential information and examples of how to perform a variety of critical DBA functions. The information in this section is presented in roughly the same sequence that these functions would be performed as the DBA plans and implements a new Oracle installation. Part II (Chapters 8 to 17) provides detailed reference information (command syntax, etc.) needed to perform DBA functions. This is a book for DBAs, written by DBAs -- the single, definitive reference book of choice. If you must choose only one book to use at the office, to have at home, and to carry to a site you are troubleshooting, this will be that book. A brief table of contents follows: Part I: How to 1. Planning 2. Installation 3. Configuration and Tuning 4. Preventing Data Loss 5. Oracle Networking 6. Administration Part II: Reference 8. Terminology and Definitions 9. The Oracle Instance 10.
