I am new "help" (how to get started)

Hi guys I am a drafter and i have been wanting to change careers for a while i like a more technical job instead of drawing lines all day long it get kind of boring, i want to be a DBA Admin and i am not sure what classes or requirements i would need to get a job as one any help would be appreciated thankz.

Hi,
i want to be a DBA Admin and i am not sure what classes or requirements i would need to get a job Every year, young computer professionals leave the hallowed halls and ivory towers of college and survey the landscape for computer jobs. They look at the salary surveys and drool at the prospect of earning up to $250k per year as a DBA. Many of them don't know what a DBA does, but they sure like the money.
The most important thing to remember is that the job of a DBA requires a 24x7 commitment. Being an Oracle DBA can be a very stressful, thankless job, and many DBA jobs require the DBA to be on-call on Thanksgiving and Christmas to perform downtime maintenance. Plus, the DBA is expected to constantly keep-up with the rapidly-changing technology, working nights and weekends on a regular basis.
It's not uncommon for a DBA to earn as much as a mid-level manager, and the high pay is a double-edged sword. The DBA must constantly justify their salary, and a good DBA who automates many of their job functions may find themselves looking for a new job.
I have more notes here, on becoming an Oracle DBA:

Hope this helps. . .

  • Adobe Illustrator Help: tips for how to get started?

    I am new to adobe products. Does anyone have any tips for someone new who is just starting out
    with adobe illustrator? I have not used it before. Any beginner tips on how to get started with adobe
    illustrator would be appreciated. Thanks

    start by reading the documentation and follow the samples shown, get familiar with the user interface, get to know where the tools are and what they do...and the most important thing practice, practice, practice.
    other than that, there are plenty of resources online, depending on your learning style, buy a book, follow tutorials, watch videos, take a class.

  • Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Thanks

    Hi, I have this green mark (with pointing arrow looks like a link) on some words show on my window screen when I open a web page, I wonder if it is a virus link or such. Need help how to get rid of it. Here's the example:
    WING
    GAMES
    MAJORITY
    Thanks

    If the third link you posted (the link containing the word "majority") does not look like the following then you inadvertently installed adware.
    That particular page should resemble the following:
    The word "majority" in the third paragraph should not be a link and should not have the green icon associated with it.
    To learn how this may have occurred, and how to prevent it from occurring in the future, read How to install adware
    Most so-called "news" websites are nothing more than entertainment outlets that cater to prurient interests, and contain advertisements that leave the user about three clicks away from installing junk. If you decide to frequent those websites, Safari's "Reader" feature helps minimize that exposure.

  • Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

    Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
    I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
    Thanks!

    Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
    Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

  • I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?

    I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
    Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
    Please help

    The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.
    Read: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
    From iTunes: About iOS backups
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • How to get started with SNMP.. please help me

    I am completely new in SNMP but I really really want to learn it so please help me :)
    I have tried to type snmpget and snmpwalk  in the prompt with some proper device �and OID information and I get some information back (do not really understand the return massages though).
    But I would like to make a manager program in java that calls some network-clients and report the return messages. I would like to use snmp4j (is this a good choice?).
    If somebody have some piece of simple code that sets up a manager- client snmp program, I would be so happy to see it.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    (If anyone knows some good tutorials or anything that can help me get started I will also appreciate this)

    try using Delete Messages Once Read or write ur own module for achieving the same or use SAP Connect for acheiving the same..if ur intention is to just read mails..!

  • New to JBOSS / JMS ! How to get started ?

    Hi,
    I'm a J2EE programmer.
    I have used JBoss as well as JMS (before long time with WebLogic), and need to know how JMS works in JBOSS, how to setup queues, monitor them (perhaps using JBOSSMQ and Active MQ), etc. I use Eclipse Europa.
    To get started and understand some existing code that uses this already, what would be a quick way. As running down with POC deadlines.
    I would appriciate if any one can provide sample application and configuration details to start with.
    Regards,
    Maulik

    Hi
    I would also like to add,
    - I aware that all the configuration files are available under deploy/jms folder.
    - jbossMQ-service.xml and uil2-service.xml files have great role to do while creating queues and creating ConnectionFactory, respectively.
    But I am not able to relate all the things and not able to start with a small example, even I am not able to define QueueConnectionFactory.
    I am getting error like,
    Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.jms.client.JBossConnectionFactory (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)]

  • How to get started with new smart iPhone?

    OK, we are new to smart phones and just ordered the Verizon iPhone. We are Mac users for years. We have a few songs in iTunes, lots of photos in Aperture and a large calander of events and a large phone book on the Mac. The phones we have are essentially empty, nothing in there to keep, nothing.
    What do we do to get pictures and our large list of addresses from AddressBook and other programs into the new phone when it get here?

  • Help! How to get started...

    I want to install J2EE. Is there a stright forward step by step document that describes what I need to do to get this done?
    Do I need J2SE for J2EE? If not then why does J2EE require a system variable JAVA_HOME that points to J2SE directory?
    I've done stuff in .NET and it was not this difficult to get started!
    Thank you.

    If you are thinking of developing and running Servlets and JSPs then the easiest way to get started is to use an IDE, especially if you are from a Windows background.
    Take a look at either NetBeans (www.netbeans.org) or Sun ONE Studio Community Edition. Both of these have an integrated Tomcat servlet container. You can develop, compile, deploy and test all from within the IDE.
    Both of the IDE mentioned above have documentation that takes you through getting a basic web application off the ground.
    If all you want to do is play with JSP pages, then download Tomcat4 from jakarta.apache.org and install it as a Windows Service. You will be able to drop JSP pages straight into the examples directory and access them from a browser. (This is not an avenue I would recommend!).

  • New Mac mini  - cannot get started - HELP please

    HI everybody
    I am struggling to get started with my macmini. I have it attached to a cinema display and switched it on expecting to go through the start up procedure and registration which is usually so intuitive.
    The screen shows a wireless mouse diagram indicating that I must insert batteries. Now I do use a wireless mighty mouse and I assumed that everything would talk to each other automatically. Is this where I am going wrong? I am certain that my mini comes with bluetooth but do I need to use a 'plug in' mouse to get everything up and running?
    Many thanks in anticipation of your responses.
    Jill

    After you put the batteries in the mouse, did you open the slider on the mouse to turn it on?
    Try it again with the mouse powered up and on before you start the computer, sometimes there is a bit of a pause while communication is established.
