Interesting quote. It's funny, I do present with some frequency, and I
stress out
about it every time I do.... I'm just sure that there are folks out there
that know
a lot more about the topic I'm talking about than I do. I fully expect,
every single
time, to hear hoards of folks laughing at me when I say something totally
stupid.
However, the best experience I have ever had presenting was at UKOUG this
last year after my
Oracle9i New Features presentation. First, I got some great feedback from
Jonathan Lewis,
which I was very thankful for (but, honestly, I was so out of it at the time
(still in stress induced fight or flight mode) that I don't remember much of
it!). Second, I saw a great presentation by Connor McDonald on 9i. Connor
does a much better job of presenting than I do.
Cheers to you all!

Been a while since I have been able to scan the list, but who could resist this one??? :-)
Additional Do's:
Do understand the nothing is unbreakable or bullet proof, assume the
impossible isn't and have a plan for disaster management.
Do appreciate that oracle support probably does deal with enough clueless
people to expect you to be one of the same until you demonstrate otherwise.
Do remember that somewhere there is life outside of RDBMS challenges, and it
should be kept relative.
Do take the time to share your experiences, it makes life much simpler for
all of us.
Do clearly define the objective, before you start detailing the solution.
Additional Do Nots
Don't get so focused on a prescribed solution that you don't realize when it
becomes self-defeating to the driving cause.
Don't forget that as good as you are at being a dba, you will make mistakes
and mis-manage, and so will those who make a living managing you.
Don't forget to prescribe the solution that user needs, not the one they
necessarily demand.
