How much training.

Hello all,
As a manager: How much training would I expect to provide to an Oracle DBA? Let's assume we are on Oracle 9i. 2nd question is if we are upgrading to 10g how much training would be necessary to send a DBA to?
As a DBA: How much training would I expect to attend each year? If upgrading to 10g should I be requesting some training to make sure I've been caught up with the knowlege to administer the 10g database once it has been upgraded?
Should DBAs be able to learn everything they need from books and not require formal training?
Thanks,
Michael Cunningham

Michael:
To a large extent, the amount of training required would depend on the skills and experience of the DBA. An experienced DBA should require little or no training to come into a shop and support an existing version 9 database. Depending on what exactly you want them to do, some training on the aplpication might be in order, or on particualr aspects of your database.
For example, I am experienced with OLTP systems, but have less experince in a data warehouse environment. The basic stuff like backup and recovery, performance tuning and capacity planning does not change all that much, but if I were required to support alarge data warehouse, I would probably want to take a course aimed at that environment.
The amount of upgrade training required would depend on how much of the new features you would want to implement, and to some extent the amount of time you have. Although 10G has many new features, and a lot more automatic management, the basics are not really different from version 9. You could just replicate your existing 9 environment in 10G without utilizing the new features with no additional training. However, if you want to get the most out of the new environment, I would be inclined to send your DBA to the New Features course if they are experienced with 9, and possibly to the Database Administration 1 course if they require a little more in depth training.
For your last couple of questions, it really depends on the DBA. Personally, I prefer to read and play to learn new features as opposed to formal training, but some formal training is useful, particularly in areas that are completely new to me.
Unless you have a fairly large DBA group, and and "sandbox" environment, I think that some formal training is always useful. Reading books, particularly the Oracle documentation, is something that every DBA should do, but it is often beneficial to be able to discuss things with other, more knowledgeable people. Formal training is a good place to do that.

How much difference between Premier Elements and PS VII?

How much difference is there between Premiere Elenebts and Photoshop Elements VII? Considereing upgrading, but need to know how much time I will have to spend in training?

It’s certainly worth considering the bundle PSE10 & PRE10 which is very favorably priced. The two applications seamlessly integrate. There are some interesting new video features - even for bringing your stills to life.
New color correction tools make it possible to enhance video clips, just like photos.
It’s also possible to burn HD quality movies to both Blu-ray disc and onto standard DVD’s. PRE10 is Adobe’s first consumer package with 64 bit support for enhanced performance (Windows 7 only)
Mac users were first introduced to PRE9 and can now use SmartSound® to add a variety of royalty free music soundtracks that automatically adjust to perfectly match the length of their movies.

How much does CLAD cost? When can I sit for such an examination?

I am interested in obtaining a CLAD certificate. I live in Beirut. I have found some test centers from http://www7.pearsonvue.com/Dispatcher?application=VTCLocator&action=actStartApp&v=W2L&cid=383 but I didnt get a reply when I asked them about cost/time.
Can you help me by answering the questions?
How much does CLAD cost? When can I sit for such an examination?
P.S. I've been using LabVIEW for 5 month already.

Hi A.A.A.,
I'm glad to hear you are interested in pursuing your Associate Developer Certification. With regards to pricing and scheduling your exam, I recommend you contact the Certification specialists at your local National Instruments office. I believe that is National Instruments Arabia. You can send an email with your questions to [email protected] or phone # +961-1-33 28 28, and they will work with you to purchase and schedule your CLAD exam.
Five months is a great start at familiarizing yourself with the LabVIEW environment. However, I definitely recommend taking a look at the exam preparation materials to ensure you are familiar with all the topics and terminology you could be tested on. If you go to the Certification Preparation Page (the link I included below) and select the Associate Developer exam and your timeframe, the page will return all the official preparation resources the Certification Development team has made available online. We also have some other posts on this forum with regards to exam preparation.

Well, this "third party" is going to put my old hdd back and not charge me any money (as he did not fix it) but i think its better off taking it to an AASP because i have a feeling Apple store will charge way too much.
The way I read that comment – you seem to suggest the Mac was broken before the third party replaced the disk - is that the case or was it working before the HD was replaced?
Since the Mac is out of warranty you will have to pay for any repairs wherever you take it. Authorised Apple service centres will be able to get parts whereas any non certified technicians will have to use 'grey market' parts since Apple will not sell parts to the public. These may be reconditioned or not official parts - it's a risk to use them. Visit the Apple store & ask them - there is no point in lying about it being handled by a third party. An Apple tech may be able to tell when they open the case, depending on how meticulous your third party was.
If you are handy with a screwdriver & have tools and a lot of patience you could use a guide on iFixit.com, but there is no indication of why this Mac not booting up.
It could be that the disk is not formatted correctly.
Are you sure the tech copied an OS onto the disk? Did they install the OS for you or did they clone the old disk?
Can you boot from a backup disk or from an install disk? Does the disk appear in Disk Utility when booted from another OS (either the installer or a backup).
'Not booting' can mean so many things, what does booting do exactly? Grey screen, black screen, any noises or tones, any signs of life at all…?
If you look at the iFixit guides you will see many fiddly connectors, if the tech failed to hook them all back up it could explain the failure, or perhaps you just have a disk that is 'dead on arrival' - sometimes that happens. A properly trained technician should be able to figure that one out.

How do I find how much space specific documents, applications, music files, etc. are taking up on my hard drive?

I checked out my hard drive and found it is getting rather full. Disk Utilities gives me an overall picture of how much disk space is being used and how much remains, but I'd like to find out which individual files may be hogging space. The Finder window doesn't give that individual information. I can find out how much space each item takes by clicking info on each, but there must be a more efficient way of finding this information simply by clicking on folders.

Not free but this is one option.

I recently managed to get the whole casing of my 13" Macbook Pro (Mid-2009) replaced due to a missing foot and dodgy spacebar. The lid is dented and scratched so would like to know how much it would cost to replace? I know its not covered by AppleCare.

So i took my Macbook Pro 13'' (Mid-2009) into Apple because the spacebar was jammed and I had one of the feet of the bottom casing missing which was unusual (black circles). The unibody and bottom plate had a fair few dents and nicks and under AppleCare I was able to get the whole unibody and bottom case fixed for free. Saved myself a good £181!
This now leaves my lid which has one or two noticeable dents and the bottom right part is suffering from several scratches. I was wondering how much a new lid would cost if I took it into Apple? I know it won't be covered under AppleCare as its accidental damage but want to know whether its worth paying for to have a once again dent free Macbook Pro .
As a side note, do Apple upgrade your hardware at all, such as the hard drive or memory? I know it would be cheaper to do it at an independant computer shop or by myself but would like to explore my options first.

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
Help.

Apple will not fix your screen. They will replace your iPod for $99, or $199 if it is the 64GB model.

I have an iPhone 4, I bought it May this year. My screen is completely smashed and I'm not insured. How much would it be to fix?

I threw it in my temper and the whole front screen is smashed. It's a White iPhone 4. I can't see the screen. But I'm still recieving calls as it's ringing when someone calls me, and I'm recieving texts. But can't do nothing with it. How much would it cost? I entered my serial number and it says
Your product is covered for eligible hardware repairs and service under Apple's Limited Warranty.
Estimated Expiration Date: 14 May 2012.
Does this mean they fix this for free? Please help!

Damage is not covered by warranty, like any other product.
For an iphone 4 in the U.S it would be $149
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 4S
$199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$149
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer.

How much would it be to add 2 more lines with unlimited talk and text?

I would like to find out how much three lines would cost with unlimited talk and text

BE WARNED!!!!
I was just hammered by Verizon because I added 2 lines. I brought two family members over from other carriers to our "share everything plan". The iphones we ordered came with pre-assigned numbers. The family members wanted to keep their existing numbers and Verizon said to "just have them ported over".
We didn't want, or had any use for the numbers that Verizon assigned the two new phones. When I got the phones I called the Port center at Verizon and they walked me through getting the numbers over from the other network. They had me activate the phones and then ported the numbers over (spend about a day on the process).
So I just got my bill and was outraged. Verizon charged me $78 for the lines of the phones they sent. I was charged $78 just to activate the line so that a number could be ported over. So now I have an extra $156 on my bill not to mention the $$$ they added on to have the numbers ported over. So adding two people to my family share plan cost me $327.

How much would it be to get the sim card reader fixed

i would like to know how much the new sim card reader is.

$7Billion dollars.
Or simply clarify the issue the device is actually having.
Apple does not repair devices, they offer Out of Warranty replacements for $199 (4S) or $149 (older models) in the US.

How much training.
