please friends,
I had a short class at NIIT on SQL server 2000.
I understood it so well. Will it be of any help if I
decide to go into oracle 10g?
I am just a beginner, but would need your experienced
guideliness and directions. I have read through and I am
glad and surprised at the kind of assistance you render to
each other!
All of you are blessed.
Will be able to reap from your knowledge?
I an internet connection. Is there anything I would need to do?
Please I want to know how to start,
the steps to take and where to get what.
I am ready and out to go all the way!
I would be very grateful if someone can sacrifice his/her time to
give me a hand.
Thanks

Great happening here,am surprised that despite my frequent logon on nairaland, i never search the DBA corner out. thank God I didi read thro the thread, and its really educative to say is an understatement. Well I have passed my OCP exam last december i.e 2007 but never worked in an Oracle deployed environment. Presently i work with SQL server. My dREAM While i was i School was to be a sesoned DBA of international Repute as i have seen and red about in the OrACLE mAG. Babalasi , Sleek chick, you guies are rich, i want to lern from you and others, and also contribute in my little ways. To start with i want to suggest we develop and form local communities of DBAs and prospective DBAs in addition to this Forum,i mean based on our Areas . say festac, Ikeja, Surulere, etc. i don't know if anyone is catching up with what i am suggesting. this would be necessary and very helpful in times when we need to practically demonstrate somethings/ideas to ourselves. like the installation on linux, solaris thing , if we have local communities for each areas , nairalanders can fashion out on the forum when , where and how to educate or communicate i idea to one /mor people. i have aslo observed that such local forums /associatio/ societies exitsed for wetsern /developed countries and have really benefited the members. we can be the first to start up some thing like that in Africa and so much add flavour to it that it will speeed up the development of Our IT industry and become the Envy of the Western World!  food for thought |

The first information you need to know is that oracle will only award certificates upon completion of Exams if the individual attends traing in at least one of the course at an oracle university partner institute.

Hi everyone. I havent been to this forum in a long time. was just browsing randomly and i remembered i used to be a member here during my serious foruming days. Anyways, I have been reading this thread with interest, and it is a good thing to see many young uns getting into Oracle in Nigeria now. When I started, there were only a handful of us, and very few organizations even used oracle. but with that said, i will get right to the issues. To be a dba, isnt really very difficult, but you have to be ready to get your hands dirty, when i say dirty, I mean you should be ready to break stuff, and fix it. That is the only way to learn. Certifications are great and a good start, but it should not be the ticket to getting into job market. as a dba, i have interviewed pple with fantastic resumes and certification, only to find out the couldnt tell me where to find the alertlog, much less start up a database from the command line. Even when you ace your certifictions, ty tp be focused on the practical side of stuff (not the book stuff). Forget the definition, of what a primary key is and learn how to configure a backup database using rman. This is what sells and this is what will get folks through the door. I am not trying to sound like a wet blanket, but I have been doing this for a while (since version  , and I have worked in Nigeria, UK and the US. I am not a guru, but i can hold my own. I love to be of assistance to anyone that is interested in oracle, in my own little way (advice or materials, or interview questions graded into levels of dicciculty <based on my little experience and how i would conduct an inteview). I am sorry i don't have exam dumps, cos any real dba can tell if u have practical experience or not regardless of how many certifications you hold. |

hey lemoor how r u?i was glas when i saw this thread updated,i did oracle in NIIT last year and did my OCA this year and am reading towards my OCP.Your are spot on about the practicality aspect, most of the technical stuff i learnt was on my own practicing and messing up my database and laptop when most of my classmates were to scared to even shutdown their database.Anyway i would love to hear from you,are u in Abuja?The Lord blessed me with my first Oracle dba job at an IT firm called Numeric Solutions which i will start very soon.Do you have any materials on Real Application Clusters?We were not taught but it seems its in high demand and also Introduction to PL/SQL?PL/SQL is one area i would really like to get into.So please get back to me lets interact, have a blessed day!

Pharuk,
WHich questions were left unanswered. I will try to answer them if I can.
Jimblaze,
Nice one, I am not in abuja. I am in the US. so my timing of posting s might be weird because of the time difference. But I do have materials on Oracle RAC (cant remember if they are soft copies or in hard copies) but hit me up on pm and we will see what we can workout. I will also try to get you documents on performance tuning and things you should look for? Glad that you got the job. What versions of databases will you be managing and on what platform?
Databases are serious business, and are the life bloood of many organisations. It is one of those areas, where u are like a goldfish in an organisation, and everyone noticies you, because if something goes wrong everyone will know.
My tip for you as you go into this new job, if possible, create a sandbox (test environment) for yourself, where you will 1st test out scripts and queries, before you run them on production databases, that way, you will earn, and you will have an idea of the impact any action you might take will impact the database. Also, please never be trigger happy, always think well before running any queries that have 'deletes' , updates or truncates in them. I have seen even experienced dbas, get into trouble because of such little negligent acts.

What aspect of Oracle are you into? Development, Administartion or Apps?

That is cool.
So what materials would you like? Materials to Pass the exam, or materials to understand database administration. How new are you, have you used it before, or are u just starting?
Hope you don't feel I ask too many questions, but I personally believe, if you want to be a good DBA, then a good approach is needed which will make you fundamentally sound in database administrations.
I would normally recommend starting out with undertanding database design concepts. This is the fundamental building block of databases. And if you can understand it, then, believe me, database administration would come to you easily, because then you will understand the logic and the relationships that make the database what it is. Because as a DBA at some point, you would be called upon to design a database, and that is where your knowledge of the fundamentals will come from.
If you agree with me, them, I can try to provide you with materials for database design (Physical, and logical database, design. entity relationships etc etc). This might initially seem boring, but it is the better way to go. It is a bottom-up approach that will make anyone fundamentally sound.
Then we can move on to oracle specific fundamentals, and how Oracle interfaces with the OS and with the applications that use it. A lot of pple forget oracle is just a repository that provides storage for a whole load of applications that will sit on it.
I will try to start putting this materials together (i just stumbled on this thread and i sort of got inspired to share my knowlegde). Hit me up on pm, and maybe we could chat some more, then, based on your feedback i will be able to offer more advice.
Do not worry if my responses are slow, it will be because of the time difference and i do sometimes get really busy.

hey le moor thanks for the advise i wouldnt mind the book on RAC and any performance and tuning books,also have u got anything on PL/SQL? well i dont know what version of oracle i would be managing but i think its 10g on windows.I also want to to learn linux and sun solaris O/S and in between trying to get an international degree in Information technology, so yea i got my hands full but its for the best,its also good to get someone like you here who is willing to help others progress

timi, i will holla at you later on yahoo.
Jimblaze, i will send you pdf books i have on administration. Covers a lot and it will serve as a good reference point when u run into road -blocks. And when u do start, if u have any issues, ask, and we can look into it together (but u still didnt send me your email or where u want me to send it.)
I dont do too much of Pl-SQL anymore. I am now more of an Architect and i set up imfrastructure for organisations. Database design, and relationshipt with data warehouses, back-up and recovery strategies and the set-up of stand-by databases. I still do performance tuning, minimally (My mantra is to get it right from the design stage, and u will be coasting later). But my experience has shown me thet, 90% of the time, bad performance is normally tied to bad codes, then user errors. Oracle Database itself, (if set-up correctly) is rarely ever the issue.
