Performance (and how to maintain it, and your sanity)
Over at Coskan's Approach to Oracle there a really nice technical rundown on what can happen to your I/O when you move from 10.2 to 11.2 without enough of the right kind of testing: What happens, when you did not do a load test before release upgrades ?. The I/O display is a colorful picture, but pretty only in a very abstract sense. If it's your system, it's not pretty at all. And it's loud, with all those application managers and directors yelling at your over the phone and around your desk. Take home lesson: You can get some great improvements from upgrading the RDBMS, but you can also produce some really bad short term situations. Please test thoroughly! And yes, this may require a battle with some of the other divisions in your company, but if you can get across to them that it is precisely their interests at risk, they may wise up and give you the time and resources you need.

Some interesting material over at a blog I haven't posted from before: iMERGE Group : Bhavik Fuletra : (OCE)
RDBMS Class
Education is expensive, but Stanford seems to be giving away a valuable course for techies for free: Introduction to Databases. I particularly recommend this kind of course for non-DBAs. Application developers often don't understand what the DB is capable of and try to stuff all the functions into the code, to the determinent of both. If they understand the logic of the relational model, etc., they can design and write better code.
