Oracle DBA - The Top 20 Features for Oracle 10g DBAs

Over the last 27 years, Oracle has made tremendous improvements in its core database product. Now, that product is not only the world's most reliable and performant database, but also part of a complete software infrastructure for enterprise computing. With each new release comes a sometimes dizzying display of new capabilities and features, sometimes leaving developers, IT managers, and even seasoned DBAs wondering which new features will benefit them most.

With the introduction of Oracle Database 10g, DBAs will have in their hands one of the most profound new releases ever from Oracle. So, DBAs who take the time to understand the proper application of new Oracle technology to their everyday jobs will enjoy many time-saving, and ultimately, money-saving new capabilities.

Oracle Database 10g offers many new tools that help DBAs work more efficiently (and perhaps more enjoyably), freeing them for more strategic, creative endeavors—not to mention their nights and weekends. Oracle Database 10g really is that big of a deal for DBAs.
