The internet blogging community on Oracle Database Administration tend to reffer each others posts, which I find very healthy and worthwhile. When a post is good you should read it and spread the word about it.
Here’s my tribute and selection to the blogs I find worthwhile reading, on some of the Best Blog Posts About Oracle Database Administration:
“Analytic Agony” – by Jonathan Lewis
“On the Importance of Diagnosing Before Resolving” – by Cary Millsap (yes, the OFA father! = OFA is one of the few Oracle acronyms where the “O” doesn’t mean “Oracle”)
“What I learned about shared pool management” – by Coskan Gundogar
“Learning ASM: Breakin’ the Rules (or, Running ACFS on CentOS)” – by Brian Bontrager
“root.sh… Oracle CRS stack is already configured!” – by Surachart

“Command Line Tools and History” – by Harald van Breederode

And finally as an hommage I leave you with one of my favourites blogs:

Cheers.
