Thalis,
I think standard recommendation is to check out the concepts and admin guide as well as the Oracle docs for any other topic you may be interested in. Both are free and really lay a good foundation.
After that the heavy hitters are expert one-on-one, effective oracle by design, oracle internals, optimizing oracle performance, oracle performance tuning, rman backup and recovery, oracle design, oracle sql high-performance tuning, practical oracle 8i. =20
in addition, i highly recommend sql tuning from tow. I've just read through it once and it's really good. It's not specific to oracle but it has already contributed immeasurably to my understanding of sql. I wish something like this had been available a few years ago. I've spent the last 3 years as a dba and have always known that my true effectiveness was severely limited by my novice ability to tune sql....easily the most high-impact area from a performance perspective on most systems. ...it looks like it will take quite a bit of practice to become fluent but i'm confident that it is time well spent.
Good luck!=20
The fun never stops!

Subject: Books to suggest
Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on purchasing an Oracle book. To
give you a short description:
- I'm quite a new user (almost a month old which probably makes me
something more than an embryo I
guess)
- Just finished Oreilly's "Oracle essentials" (3rd ed.)
- Testing on a 9.2
I have a CS and DB background, no Oracle though. Oreilly's title has
left me mostly satisfied (as
have most of their titles). The concepts where mostly familiar. Now that
I have more or less gotten
lightly & slightly acquainted with the slang, notions, processes, ideas,
acronyms etc. I'm looking
for something more technical and DBA oriented.
Please advise on book titles, esp. if you've read more than a couple of books on Oracle.
TIA ps. I also have Oracle's "Oracle 9i Database Administration Fundamentals", both I and II.
