Nicloei WThere shouldn't be bad consequences on this. What's wrong on giveing an interview to someone you don't know... when you already know the candidate and its skills the interview loses its sense.
If the candidate would reveal himself a good employer they will be happy, if not it doesn't matter, things won't change this time.
Good Luck

Jr. DBA needs Senior DBA's Advice..!!

Dear all Senior DBA’s
I need you advice/suggestions.
I m Oracle9i DBA OCP Certified, Currently working as Assistant DBA. I m working in Oracle10g based Environment; it’s been around four months now, I m writing below my duties as DBA:
1.     There is checklist that I need to submit to IT Manager that shows the status of Oracle Services, Listeners, Archived Redo Log Numbers, Hot Backup & Export of Primary, Standby and Test Databases.
2.     I used to take the export of live user before updating the live database with Queries, Procedures, and Functions, forwarded by Software Engineering Department.
3.     I take the export of live database user and update the test database user with the latest dumps.
Other things I have learned:
4.     I learned how to configure Stand By database. It was test project for me, NOT a live project, but I learned a lot.
I have written all the steps in my blog:
http://rakeshocp.blogspot.com/2007/12/creating-stand-by-database-steps.html
5.     I was 9i Certified, and it is good learning for me to use 10g Database at Live environment.
6.     I have studied RAC, and waiting for Blade Servers, and green signal from Management, then I will learn Live RAC Project.
Now Confusion here is:
Once I check the CheckList, I wait for the work, but hardly get any kinda database related work, only I do execute scripts, and exports/imports. Is that the overall role of DBA besides implementing above mentioned projects?
I need your advice, I m willing to learn, but I don’t think I will be learning in the above DBA duties.
I want be a good/expert DBA.
Could you please advice/guide what should I do?

Hi Rakesh,
Is that the overall role of DBA besides implementing above mentioned projects?This is a great question, since the DBA job role has been expanding recently.
I have notes here:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_job_duties.htm
Also, see these notes on DBA duties:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_dba_job_skills.htm
System Analysis & Design skills – Many Oracle professionals must take an active role in the analysis and design of new database systems. Hence, knowledge of data flow diagrams, data dictionary techniques, CASE tools, Entity-relation modeling and design techniques, enhance the Oracle professional’s scope of ability.
· Database Design skills – Many Oracle jobs require knowledge of database normalization theory, STAR schema design, and data modeling techniques.
· Physical Disk Storage skills – Understanding of disk hardware architecture, RAID implementation, cache controllers, and disk load balancing are beneficial to any Oracle professional.
· Data Security skills – An understanding of relational database security including role-based security is useful, especially for US Government positions.
· Backup and Recovery skills – Many backup and recovery methods involve third-party software (Veritas, Legato, ADSM), and the candidate should have real-world experience implementing backup and recovery methods.
· Change Control Management skills – In many cases the Oracle professional is charged with the task of implementing change control and insuring that changes to the production database are properly coordinated. Knowledge of third-party change control tools such as the UNIX Source Code Control System (SCCS) is beneficial.

Intermediate VS senior DBA

Hi ,
I was wondering if any of the[u] SENIOR DBAs can answer this question !
Difference between an intermediate and a senior DBA ???
Also can we look at the difference at a broad level, with out considering the huge automation and self managing 10g database and with taking into account the automation, so precisely my question would be....
intermediate VS senior DBA
with automation VS with out automation
Thank you for your time.

I suspect that the answer really depends on the organization and the individual. Different organizations have vastly different definitions for the same job title. Different individuals will progress down rather different paths.
I'm also not sure that I see where automation is relevent. A good DBA, regardless of the experience level, will use automatic features when they offer benefits over doing it manually and will avoid automatic features that are more trouble than they're worth. The cost/benefit calculation, though, is going to be application and organization-specific.

SQL tab not working in V2.1 EA1 for non-DBA users -- how to fix?

In v2.1 EA 1 the tab to show the SQL script (DDL) in the object browser is not working for non-DBA users. In the prior version, these users would see a message about DBMS_METADATA and then the message would indicate that an "internal generator" would be used to generate the DDL script. After that brief message the DDL would show up as expected. This doesn't seem to be the case in the newest version.
I issued the following two grants to a particular user which worked, but I am reluctant to issue the grants to "PUBLIC".
SQL> grant execute on DBMS_METADATA to XXXXX;
SQL> grant select_catalog_role to XXXXX;
So, my questions are:
1) Will the old functionality (that didn't require these privileges) be added to V2 at some point?
2) What security implications are there for issueing the above grants to PUBLIC?
NOTE: After granting execute on the DBMS_METADATA package, it still didn't work. I left that grant in place and granted SELECT_CATAOG_ROLE, so I can't say for sure that the 1st grant was required.

An OEM account is separate from the database account. You need to use OEM UI to create an OEM account, however, for certain tasks to be done in the databases which OEM is monitoring they will also require separate database accounts within those databases. For example, to view the performance tab in OEM UI, a database account is required.
OEM only has two types of users, i.e. Super Administrator and Administrator, but don't go by the names. You can grant an OEM 'Administrator' account access to specific targets and what they can do within OEM, such as only viewing reports, targets, and so on. For access within a database, the user created need not be a DBA either.
I hope you understand.

Interview questions for oracle dba

Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
·     What version of Oracle were you running?
·     Haw many databases and what sizes?
·     If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
·     If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
·     Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Thx
KK

. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
· Did you use online or off-line backups?
Both.
· What version of Oracle were you running?
8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
· Haw many databases and what sizes?
8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
· If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
· If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
· Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.

Demand for oracle dba

Hi,
I've heard from many people that the demand for Oracle DBAs in the market is getting down and will continue to degrade. Is it true?
Waiting for reply.

Is that [DBA 1.0 or DBA 2.0|http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/docs/Oracle%20DBA%202.0.pdf]?
The market is down in general. Who knows what the future holds. Normally it's a bit like the past with some minor changes.

Quest for OCA DBA Cert

I'm seeking help from anyone willing to provide it. A little background here, I'm 24 with a BS majoring in Political Science and a Minor in Computer Information Systems (CIS). My CIS classes included a semester about SDLC and a class focusing on Oracle Databasing, working with 10g for the semester. I also have some background in Visual Basic programming, completing two semesters of that.
I'm currently working in the Information Assurance field with 2 years experience and a Security+ cert from CompTIA. However, I've become exhausted (read: bored) in my field and would like to make a career change to something more hands on. I figure that I enjoyed my work getting my minor in CIS, especially my class on databasing, and that I could shoot for an OCA DBA certification and make a career change, and from there seek the OCP.
I guess my question is this: from everyone's experiences, what are your thoughts on my prospects of landing a job with an OCA DB and no real experience? I would have no problem being a junior DBA since I still have plenty of time to advance through my career. I am also under the assumption that it would be best to look for a job with a small company that may need one person to cover multiple tasks.
Am I delusional in thinking that I could make this jump, or is there a chance for me to get my Cert and move on to a new career path?
Thanks to anyone in advance for advice.

In general in the US, there aren't a whole lot of positions for junior DBAs. Most tasks that you could potentially hand off to a junior DBA are things that Oracle has automated or things that can be done with shell scripts or database jobs.
There are three relatively common paths to becoming a DBA. The first option is to start as a developer that specializes in the database side of things and to transition into a more DBA-type role often going through a development DBA role. The second option is to start of a "jack of all trades" at a smaller company that handles database administration, system administration, web servers, etc. The third ption is to start as a systems admin and transition into more of a database administration role.
If you're looking for an entry-level job, my bias would be to suggest that you look for a database developer role with a larger company or to look for a "jack of all trades" position with a smaller company.
