Hello all,

What would be the minimum/ideal resources, for a new-to-Oracle DBA at a site that was itself not quite at the point of installing Oracle for the first time?

The DBA has experience with Sybase and Interbase. The site will be running 3 commercial packages, but not any applications developed in-house.

Previous experience suggests that the Sun Performance Tuning and Sun Capacity planning books will be quite helpful, likewise the Oracle Tuning book from O'Reilly & Associates. What other materials or resources will help most, in a situation where formal Oracle training will not be scheduled for the DBA until much later, (if ever?)
--Apart from the Oracle documentation itself,
of course.

Thanks in advance,
Steve
