You??™ll see appropriate
monitoring, security, and tuning strategies for stand-alone and networked databases in Part
II of this book. Backup and recovery strategies are provided to help ensure the database??™s
recoverability. Each section focuses on both the features and the proper planning and
management techniques for each area.
High availability is covered in all of its flavors: Real Application Clusters (RAC), Recovery
Manager (RMAN), and Oracle Data Guard, to name a few of the topics covered in-depth in
Part III of this book.
Networking issues and the management of distributed and client/server databases are
thoroughly covered. Oracle Net, networking configurations, materialized views, location
transparency, and everything else you need to successfully implement a distributed or
client/server database are described in detail in Part IV of this book. You??™ll also find
real-world examples for every major configuration.
In addition to the commands needed to perform DBA activities, you will also see the
Oracle Enterprise Manager web pages from which you can perform similar functions. By
following the techniques in this book, your systems can be designed and implemented so
well that tuning efforts will be minimal. Administering the database will become easier as
the users get a better product, while the database works??”and works well.
