Description: -- Fine-tuning one's Oracle database administration skills is smart; certifying those skills is lucrative. But what about the aspiring Oracle database administrator (DBA) who needs to know what it takes to become a DBA and what to expect with regard to the day-to-day duties they will face?
-- At a time when high demand for DBAs is prompting more people to choose this profession, there are no books that provide this kind of entry-level information. Additionally, to meet this demand, corporations are increasingly asking their application developers to perform DBA tasks without providing them with information on what a DBA should do to ensure a smooth-running database.
-- Enter DBA 101. With Oracle DBA 101, Oracle Press is offering the first-of-its- kind tutorial for becoming an Oracle DBA. The book will provide prospective DBAs information about what is required to qualify as an entry-level DBA -- such as college courses, training, and so on. Written in a friendly tone, the book moves on to discuss effective performance in the DBA position and day-to-day chores that ensure a smooth-running database.
-- Unlike any other book in the Oracle Press line. Written in a light and friendly tone -- often in the first person, Oracle DBA 101 provides unique and valuable information to aspiring Oracle DBAs. The book's many selling points include:
-- Content employs the authors' proven and accessible instructional techniques from their popular "Oracle DBA 101" workshops and presentations.
-- Self-contained DBA Toolkit section with beginning and advanced scripts that are tied into the CD-ROM.
-- CD-ROM with ready-to-run and fully explained scripts (DBA Toolkit section)
-- Quickreference charts of Oracle views on the inside front and back cover
-- Glossary with practical definitions of the most common DBA terms. This glossary resists defining technical terms with more technical terms.
