Exadata DBA
Hi,
Well I guess I am like thosuands of DBAs out there, who are intrigued, excited, curious, and yearning to lay their hands on Exadata, which looks sure enough the future of OLTP and DW for the large and even medium size enterprises across the globe.
What should a typical DBA who is aware of core database, RAC, Data Guard, ASM should do to learn about Exadata without having it?
Exadata is kind of "different Oracle", for example it doesn't require indexing on table that much and so and so. So the DBAs need to re-define themselves to manage the Exadata?
Yes, storage concepts and the hardware concepts do matter when it comes to manage the Exadata, but how much knowledge in this regard is expected from the DBAs?
What are the responsibilities of an Exadata DBA?
I believe that some of above questions overlap, but would appreciate any answers in that regard.
Thanks and best regards
