Oracle DBA Checklists Pocket Reference
  
Oracle database administration is a complex and stressful job. In a series of easy-to-use checklists, this concise pocket reference summarizes the enormous number of tasks you must perform as an Oracle DBA. Each section takes a step-by-step "cookbook" approach to presenting DBA quick-reference material. The Oracle DBA Checklists Pocket Reference is divided into three major sections covering the main areas of an Oracle DBA's responsibilities:
  • Database management. Describes how to maintain existing databases (with a checklist of daily, weekly, and monthly activities), prepare new databases for production, and back up and recover databases (with checklists for how to recover tables, data files, index files, control files, rollback segments, and active and inactive redo logs).
  • Installation and configuration. Contains a summary of key procedures for installation on Unix, Windows NT, and VMS platforms. Also includes special steps for configuring a parallel database.
  • Network management. Helps with installing, configuring, and testing Net8 software on server and client machines. Tasks include confirming network availability and Net8 connectivity, verifying Net8 name resolution, configuring Net8 clients (with LDAP or Oracle Names), configuring Net8 on the server, configuring the Multi-Threaded Server (MTS), tracing client connections, and tracing the Net8 listener.
This book's quick-reference, step-by-step approach takes the stress out of DBA problem solving by making it easy to find the information you need--and find it fast.

(Hide Review...)  For DBAs knowing what they are going to do
Reviewer Permalink
This is, as the title suggests, a pocket size collection of checklists about how common operations are done. This is a good reference but not a book for you if you are still learning how to use Oracle.
DBA Checklists is an excellent reference, when you are performing one of covered operations:
- In a hurry
- Middle of night (and in a hurry)
- First time after few months last time you did it
- Making sure a junior DBA does things properly

Summary: this reference you want to keep in a bookshelf close to you workstation.

A good reference of how things you should worry about. Provides an execellent guide on how to move databases to production. Get it and use it, and when you don't need it anymore pass it on to a Junior DBA.

(Hide Review...)  Great tool - not *just* for DBAs
Reviewer Permalink
The checklists in this 80-page guide are both comprehensive and complete. While this book's obvious value is to DBAs (which I'm not), it is also an invaluable tool for a number of other IS/IT areas. Specifically:

* Change control analysts who need to develop or validate implementation and rollback plans

* Project and release managers who want to scope out and plan the key tasks for upgrades and implementations

* Desktop support folks who install and configure client software

* Help desk analysts who are tasked with developing problem screening and identification checklists.

For the last group the checklists for confirming network connectivity via Net8 can make the difference between misassigning an Oracle Net8 problem to the network group, which only slows the resolution process. You do not have to be a DBA to benefit from this excellent book.

(Hide Review...)  Simple, lightweight, Precise Guidelines
Reviewer Permalink
it covers many areas like preparing a database for production, conducting recovery, installation and network management. It gives a precise guidelines to take a concept how to start some administrative job and investigation. Of course, it covers some brief steps and ideas, it is enough for me and I can get more details from those Oracle press "Bible" ^_^...Quite Thick and heavy.

Simple DBA task list is good to people taking an initial concepts on administering Oracle. If there is a PDA book for it, it is much more convenient!!

(Hide Review...)  Very good DBA Pocket reference
Reviewer Permalink
I've found this book very good for daily tasks starting right from installation and configuration, addressing the management tasks and backup and recovery steps. This books is a quick reference for many of the problems. It does not specifically addresses the performance tuning issues. I think it is a book every Oracle DBA should have for reference.
