Also...
Any good DBA will know shell scripting (The Korn Shell, Olczak), regex (Mastering Regular
Expressions, Friedl), and perl (I'll let Jared fill in here).
Thanks,
Ron.

Any good DBA will need to know PL/SQL - Steven Feuerstein with Bill = Pribyl
Any good DBA is familiar with backups/recoveries - Oracle 9i RMAN Backup = and Recovery is good resource from Oracle Press.
Any a metalink account for quick references - bugs, issues, scripts. = Not as in-depth and "all in one convenient" place as the books but a = good operational resource.

Thalis,
If your job description includes any responsibilities to optimize the performance of your system, then I really hope that Part I (Chapters 1 through 4) of Jeff's and my book called Optimizing Oracle Performance is part of a good answer to your question.
These chapters are completely non-technical (and shouldn't take you more
than a couple hours to read), but--if we've done our job well--they set =
=3D
your
mind in the right direction for the task of improving system =3D
performance.

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 =3D
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 =3D
left me
mostly satisfied (as
have most of their titles). The concepts where mostly familiar. Now that =
=3D
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 =3D
Fundamentals",
both I and II.
