RE: Newbie DBA

We meet again (ADC Teleco). I have been putting together a DBA checklist of things / scripts to check the database daily, weekly, etc. Also a To Do list. The current DBA is really the unix admin person, so he has the backup / recovery in fairly good shape. As I said in our other thread, I will be supporting this electronic board tester statistics collection application. My biggest concern is that the application is setup on an HP workstation with only one HD. That's a no-no and I will be working to correct this. Hopefully I won't get too much static on this.

Ken,

The very first thing to learn as a database administrator - backup and recovery.
And learn it thoroughly. The second thing to learn is performance monitoring and
tuning. After all, a poorly performing database is better than a dead (or completely removed from the system) database.....

Good luck to you. And something to note - this list will be your best guide to
'how does this REALLY work?'
