Summary: Good And Concise
Review: A good reference of how things you should worry about. Provides an execellent guide on how to move databases to production. Get it and use it, and when you don't need it anymore pass it on to a Junior DBA.

Summary: Very good DBA Pocket reference
Review: I've found this book very good for daily tasks starting right from installation and configuration, addressing the management tasks and backup and recovery steps. This books is a quick reference for many of the problems. It does not specifically addresses the performance tuning issues. I think it is a book every Oracle DBA should have for reference.

Summary: Simple, lightweight, Precise Guidelines
Review: it covers many areas like preparing a database for production, conducting recovery, installation and network management. It gives a precise guidelines to take a concept how to start some administrative job and investigation. Of course, it covers some brief steps and ideas, it is enough for me and I can get more details from those Oracle press "Bible" ^_^...Quite Thick and heavy. Simple DBA task list is good to people taking an initial concepts on administering Oracle. If there is a PDA book for it, it is much more convenient!!

Summary: Great tool - not *just* for DBAs
Review: The checklists in this 80-page guide are both comprehensive and complete. While this book's obvious value is to DBAs (which I'm not), it is also an invaluable tool for a number of other IS/IT areas. Specifically: * Change control analysts who need to develop or validate implementation and rollback plans * Project and release managers who want to scope out and plan the key tasks for upgrades and implementations * Desktop support folks who install and configure client software * Help desk analysts who are tasked with developing problem screening and identification checklists. For the last group the checklists for confirming network connectivity via Net8 can make the difference between misassigning an Oracle Net8 problem to the network group, which only slows the resolution process. You do not have to be a DBA to benefit from this excellent book.

Summary: For DBAs knowing what they are going to do
Review: This is, as the title suggests, a pocket size collection of checklists about how common operations are done. This is a good reference but not a book for you if you are still learning how to use Oracle.
DBA Checklists is an excellent reference, when you are performing one of covered operations:
- In a hurry
- Middle of night (and in a hurry)
- First time after few months last time you did it
- Making sure a junior DBA does things properly Summary: this reference you want to keep in a bookshelf close to you workstation.
Rating:
Summary: Nice stuff to have in your back pocket.
Review: You can formulate(If you're not that documenting kind of a dba;)) to make religiously your own checklists from this simple but very helpful pocket reference. Tarry
