Re: What is usually expected of a DBA

1. Logical and physical design of databases
2. Database startup and shutdown
3. Log monitoring incluing Alert logs and dump destinations
4. Performance Tuning of Queries
5. Managing storage
6. Performance tuning of the SGA
7. Database backups, recoveries, disaster recovery
8. Capacity planning (When will you need more disk, cpu, memory....OPS etc)
9. SQL Net/ Net8 configuration and management including Oracle Names but not DNS
10. Primary liason to Oracle support for problem (TAR) resolution.

Just a quick, off the top of my head list. Not intended to exhaustively delineate DBA tasks.
