Looking For Oracle News?

July 19th, 2006 by The Oracle Alchemist

If you’re in the DBA game, you HAVE to pay attention to the Oracle world. I think it’s irresponsible for people to be in a field and not pay attention to what’s going on in the world pertaining to that field. Remember, Oracle is your job, and therefore your future. Keep up to date with it! This doesn’t mean you have to know when Larry’s going to buy his next yacht, but you should know what kind of products are coming out.

However, it can be tough finding everything going on in the Oracle world. As I’m typing this, there’s probably a dozen DBAs writing articles on new methods of doing some process, hundreds of DBAs worldwide are probably performing RMAN recoveries using an article they read somewhere, and Don Burleson is probably putting the finishing touches on his next best seller.

Anyways, a news aggregator always helps. I’d recommend Breaking Oracle News on DBA-Oracle.com. You will find frequent updates with news not only about the Oracle business, but also to recent whitepapers, tips, and many other interesting topics. The chief reporters there, Don Burleson, Harry Conway, and Linda Webb search the web far and wide for choice topics that will be of interest to DBA types.

You can use an RSS Aggregator to subscribe to the feed. There are also easy instructions to add it to not only your RSS reader, but also to your website.

Enjoy!
