This is the best advice out there. So many fundamental things in this manual that too many DBA's don't understand. Until it became popular to certify, most DBA's I interviewed didn't know what happened during a startup nomount vs. mount, vs open. Now most DBA's knows this, but there's still a lot of stuff in this manual that's gold.
