Lesson 01
This is where I started 7 years back, and sharing my thoughts from few years. 7 years back, database administrator is very less known and when I started working out to be a Database Administrator, I opted to take a course from Oracle University affiliated SQL * International, of course its costly I felt its better and it worked for me. At that time, I used to browse for online documents, used to find very less. These days we have more documents on line, Oracle Forums for new aspirants, so many websites offer lot.
As a starter you have plenty of options, if you are a self starter you can browse Oracle Documentation on line and you can start learning.

It will give you a basic understanding of database administrator. It’s the stepping stone. I don’t want to talk much about SQL, PL/SQL. Assuming that you already aware of this. Basics is well to go with, you don’t need to be a mater in PL/SQL.
2. What type of activities does Database administrator do?
Database Administrators as so many responsibilities which he/she needs to deliver. So get to know what the tasks of a DBA.

Going with the above, you might get to know what a DBA can do and you might be prepared to get ready to learn Oracle Database.
3. How to go-ahead after this?
Download Oracle Database 10gR2 for your operating system; initially you can use your Windows XP Professional where you can install Oracle Database Software easily. If you have good exposure on Linux, well I suggest you to try working out.
