    Hi Sunil
    I’d suggest you to read documentations and some Oracle books. Refer to tahiti.oracle.com and there you can find 2 Days Administration Guides which will guide you through the basic administration tips
    Moreover, you should practice a lot. Without practicing, you will not be able to learn more
    I’d suggest you to refer to Oracle Ace Tonguc Yilmaz’s well written article, related with Oracle Introduction for newbies. You can find it from below link:
    http://tonguc.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/oracle-introduction-for-newbies.doc

    Good Luck. Keep reading, practicing and asking your questions (of course after google-ing it 😉 ) on OTN forums :)

  7. aniruddha Says:

    hello kamran. i want to learn oracle and start a career as dba. i am a rhce. but am confused which exam i will go for. will i go for 9i dba exams or 10g dba exams particularly. and there is also 11g. plz advice me which way to go? i also want to learcn rac. and another q, is it necessary to learn pl/sql if i work as dba.

    thx for this wonderful blog. i have completed installing 10g on centos 5.3 using virtualbox v3.

  8. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Hi aniruddha and welcome to my blog
    If you’re at the beginning of Oracle career, don’t try to start from exam. Try to read some docs (Administrators Guide and Concept) from http://tahiti.oracle.com

    Then, I’d suggest you to read Sybex books to prepare to Oracle exams. Yes, there’re mainly 3 different versions in Oracle which you can give an exam. 9i is not supported version of Oracle but to be more successful, I’d suggest you to start learning from 9i. Because there’re many things that were automated in 10g. By starting from 10g or 11g, you may be aware of some Oracle features (especially in Performance Tuning). It’s my suggestion. But you can even start from 11g. It’s the new supported version
    But remember, to be 11g OCP by having any 9i or 10g exam, you’ll need to pass only one “New Features” exam. It’s the same for 10g. If you passed 9i exams, you’ll need to pass only one exam to be 10gOCP and another one exam to be 11gOCP

    It’s necessary to know SQL and PL/SQL to be successfull DBA. You don’t need to learn PL/SQL at developers level, but you need to know some basics as well

    Good Luck!

    thx a lot kamran for ur suggestion. i will surly start from oracle 9i.

    Salam Kamran muallim . Man ozum Java proqrammistam . Lakin hala hech vaxt Oracle-la islamamisam . Esasen MySQL -le ishlemisem . Database-ler haqqinda yaxshi melumatim var .PL/SQL-i ise bilmirem .
    1. Siz mana hansi kitablari maslahat gorerdiniz ki baslayim oxumaga ?
    2. Eger praktiki masalalarda tetbiq ede bilmeyecemse oxumagin na daracada faydasi olacaq (sadece bizim proyektde Oracle tetbiq edilmir :( )

  11. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Salam Rufat

    Evvela sen ozune kankret bir yön secmelisen. DBA olmaq isteyirsen yoxsa Developer? Onlar ferqli ferqli seylerdi. Eslinde her DBA bir developer kimi development-i bilmelidi (bu Oracle-da beledi). Amma her Developer ise DBA kimi administration bilmese de olar

    Eger bundan sonra Java-ya davam edeceksense, onda Oracle baresinde besit administration biliklerini menimseyib esas Development-e guc vermelisen. Yeni SQL ve PL/SQL dillerini advanced seviyyede menimsemelisen

    Bu berede kitablar coxdu. En tovsiye etdiyim kitab, “PL/SQL by examples” kitabidi (fourth edition). Web-den pdf versiyasini tapib oxuya bilersen.

    O ki qaldi praktika meselesine, bu umumi bir problemdi. Tek bizim olkede yox, butun dunya olkelerinde demek olar ki beledi. Sen menim sene tovsiye etdiyim kitabi tap, oxumaqa bashla. Orada olan butun misallari ozunde tetbiq et. Sonra her hansi bir sirketde PL/SQL isine uyqun olaraq Junior isci kimi ise bashlayib gelecekde istedyin praktikani yiqacaqsan

    Hi,
    Excellent Blog !

    Basically I m pursuing BE Computer Engg. , and I have lot interest in Database, Datawarehousing & Data Mining.
    I want to pursue my career in DB Administration or Warehousing.

    Q.1 : Is BE + OCA sufficient for starting career in databases ?
    Or are there any other courses that can help me get into Dataware housing ?

    Q.2 : What is scope as fresher ? What things I need to consider for getting entry level job as junior DBA ?

    Thanx for ur help in advance.
    Hope ur advice helps me brighten up my future…..ofcourse as DBA

  13. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Dear Tanny

    I think that you’ll start your Oracle career as a Junior DBA. But one thing should be mentioned that administering VLDB (Very large database – data warehouse) and OLTP systems are different. So you need to make a decision for that.

    I’d suggest you to read documentation, read some certification books and practice, practice and practice

    Good Luck !

  14. Tanny Says:

    Thanx a lot sir…..!

    Just one more thing…can u suggest me some books which can help me for practicing at home as I have opted for self-study mode….

    Or should I continue with certification books from oracle press ?

  31. Samuel Says:

    Dear Mr. Kamran Agayev,

    Nice to know you, i’m from indonesian. Would you like to help me…I have problem with my oracle database. My Server harddisk was broken but i can recovery the data back. I have installed new OS and oracle 10g in new harddisk. Can I replace the datafile with my old datafile ?

    Thank you sir

    Regards,

    Samuel Eric T

  32. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Dear Samuel
    If you have RMAN backup you can perform disaster recovery and recover the database on the different server. Look at the following video tutorial:
    http://kamranagayev.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/rman-video-tutorial-series-performing-disaster-recovery-with-rman/

    Moreover, you can rename datafile using ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE in the MOUNT stage
    Good Luck

  33. Eric Tololiu Says:

    Dear Mr. Kamran Agayev,

    Hello sir, would you like to help me ? When I connect to oracle 10g by TOAD or connect by sqlplus, I got this message :
    ORA-01578: oracle data block corrupted (file # 1, block # 38557)
    ORA-01110: data file 1: ‘c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orclkdi\system01.DBF’

    I have no backup for system01.dbf datafile. Can you give some information to fix it ?

    Thanks you very much.

    Regards,

    Eric Tololiu

  34. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Dear Eric

    Why you don’t have backup of the SYSTEM tablespace? Don’t you know that if you lose the SYSTEM tablespace without having its backup, it means that you lost your database at all! Be careful and take dailiy backups (I hope you’re currently running on the test db)
    If you haven’t backup of the database and you got a Data Block error, use DBMS_REPAIR to mark the block corrupted. For this, you need to create a REPAIR_TABLE using DBMS_REPAIR.ADMIN_TABLES procedure. Then use CHECK_OBJECT procedure to look for the corruption and update REPAIR_TABLE. Then use SKIP_CORRUPT_BLOCKS to tell Oracle to skip the corrupted blocks and use FIX_CORRUPT_BLOCKS to mark the block as a software corrupted

  37. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Hi dear Tausif

    If you want to be an Oracle DBA, you need to read a lot and practice everything you read. I’d suggest you to start reading documentation (Concepts and Administrators Guide) from http://tahiti.oracle.com address. Next, install Virtual Machine, Linux and Oracle and start practicing what you read (you can use my video tutorials as well)

    Moreover, read the following .doc file written by Tonguc Yilmaz

    So I’d suggest you to read basics of Relational Database Systems

    I want to know something about how to take backup of recovery area into tape for disaster recovery.I have watched the video provided by you for Disaster recovery for disks.I also want to learn about: disaster recovery of the backup we have taken.

    If you can provide some good material or a video for this so that I can get some idea.And It may be helpful for others as well.

    Hi Faz. Unfortunately I don’t know french language, but I used translate.google.com and understood your comment :) So you want to become an OCP and ask for advice
    I would suggest you to start reading OCP related books, read Oracle documentation and perform practices. Install virtual machine, install Linux+Oracle and start practicing. This is the best way to become OCP. If you would like detailed advice, ask your question in more details.

    Good Luck!

  100. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Hi Efrain

    Is it a virtual machine?
    Get the hostname using the following command

    [oracle@test ~]hostname

    and add the entry to the /etc/hosts file

    192.168.2.18 yourhostname.domain.com yourhostname

    save the file and try to ping the hostname

    ping 192.168.2.18
    ping yourhostname

    And try the installation again. If you fail, you can ignore prerequisites

    ./runInstaller -ignoresysprereqs

    Do you have any format to answer this following question, if not, then from where i can get an idea if anyone knows please reply.

    For a new server:

    Please answer the below questions to be able to proceed with proper sizing.

    – Existing Servers infrastructure, need to know the servers specifications, in terms of OS type & version, number of CPUs/System, amount of memory….etc

    – Existing Storage infrastructure, need to know storage specifications, in terms of storage model, existing capacity (Raw/Usable)…etc

    – Existing Applications/Database, cluster type and software version.

    – Number of users and concurrent users.

    – Network connectivity for the exiting environment and for the new environment required in terms of connection speed (1Gb or 10Gb) and type (UTP & fiber), note if fiber is required then we need to know whether long-range (single Mode) or short-range (multimode) is required.

    – Any special requirement for the new infrastructure.

    – Migration services whether it is required or not.

    – Any support level required also need to be stated

    If you have any standard just please let me know.

    I have ordered your book Oracle Certified Master 11g Study Guide through amazon.com on January 10, 2017. Order number 107-1388714-1763462. I ordered it from Maldives. Estimated delivery date was Feb 23, 2017 – Mar 15, 2017.
    I still didnt get the book. Even I do not see the contact seller button when I check my Orders.

    Please can you support me to track the package.

    Best Regards,

    Dear Kamran,

    It is really useful that you give a lot of information related with IT. I would like to take advise. I am a Quality manager/ Quality assurance manager. I plan to develop myself in IT area. So I kindly ask you to give me some recommendation such as:

    1) Which software program is essential for my occupation?
    2) Which course is recommended by you?
    and etc.

    Thank you in advance!

    Best regards,

    Nigar

  172. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Dear Nigar x. Thank you for the comment.

    There are a lot of different areas in IT, so before starting you have to decide what track you should take. Programming? Network admin? DBA? or something else. After researching and deciding what you want, the next step is to get a course, read related books and practice. In a few months, you will feel like a junior and will keep growing

    Let me know if you need any further information

    Hi Kamran Agayev,

    I have ordered your book Oracle Certified Master 11g Study Guide through amazon.com

    Practice according to the contents of the book.
    The requirement says 11.2.0.3 32bit program is required, but the contents of the book have a test for 11.2.0.1
    Should I test it with 11.2.0.1 version?

  174. Kamran Agayev A. Says:

    Hi Jae. Thanks for purchasing the book.
    It doesn’t matter having 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.1. Any 11.2 version is ok

    Good luck with the exam!
