Common Oracle DBA Tasks
As an Oracle DBA, you can expect to be involved in the following tasks:
Installing Oracle software
Creating Oracle databases Upgrading the database software to new releases Starting up and shutting down the database Managing the storage structures of the database Managing user accounts and security Managing schema objects, such as tables, indexes, and views Making database backups and performing database recovery, when necessary Monitoring proactively the condition of the database and taking preventive or corrective actions, as required Monitoring and tuning database performance Tasks of a Database Administrator You must complete several specific tasks to design, implement, and maintain an Oracle Database.
Note: When upgrading to a new release, back up your existing production
environment, both software and database, before installation. For information on preserving your existing production database, see Oracle Database Upgrade Guide. Task 1: Evaluate the Database Server Hardware Evaluate how Oracle Database and its applications can best use the available computer resources. Task 2: Install the Oracle Database Software As the database administrator, you install the Oracle Database server software and any front-end tools and database applications that access the database. Task 3: Plan the Database As the database administrator, you must plan the logical storage structure of the database, the overall database design, and a backup strategy for the database. Task 4: Create and Open the Database After you complete the database design, you can create the database and open it for normal use. Task 5: Back Up the Database After you create the database structure, perform the backup strategy you planned for the database. Task 6: Enroll System Users After you back up the database structure, you can enroll the users of the database in accordance with your Oracle license agreement and grant appropriate privileges and roles to these users. Task 7: Implement the Database Design After you create and start the database, and enroll the system users, you can implement the planned logical structure database by creating all necessary tablespaces. When you have finished creating tablespaces, you can create the database objects. Task 8: Back Up the Fully Functional Database When the database is fully implemented, again back up the database. In addition to regularly scheduled backups, you should always back up your database immediately after implementing changes to the database structure. Task 9: Tune Database Performance Optimizing the performance of the database is one of your ongoing responsibilities as a DBA. Oracle Database provides a database resource management feature that helps you to control the allocation of resources among various user groups. Task 10: Download and Install Release Updates and Release Update Revisions After the database installation, download and install Release Updates (Updates) and Release Update Revisions (Revisions) for your Oracle software on a regular basis. Task 11: Roll Out to Additional Hosts After you have an Oracle Database installation properly configured, tuned, patched, and tested, you may want to roll that exact installation out to other hosts.
