Oracle Database 11g Interactive Quick Reference
Just a quick note about the Oracle Database 11g Interactive Quick Reference That was released today to the public. This Interactive Quick Reference, created by Oracle University and the Server Technology Curriculum group, is your Essential Guide to Oracle Database 11g Release 2. This interactive quick reference includes an architecture diagram, a comprehensive list of background processes and an extensive list of DBA views organized by product feature areas.
Nicely done! Wish the columns in the DBA views had comments though.

Kenneth Downs:
There are three common job titles in the database area, which are Database Administrator (DBA), Database Programmer, and Database Architect. These titles tend to be somewhat variable from shop-to-shop, but generally the “Architect” term indicates the highest level of skill combined with considerable management responsibilities. The “Programmer” term is somewhere below that, but the “DBA” is extremely variable. I have seen shops where a person was called a DBA and filled a relatively constrained role closer to IT or operations (routine tasks, no real programming) and other shops where a person with the DBA title was basically the Architect.
There is also the Database “Engineer” which I believe encompasses the three terms that Kenneth mentions. After all, a title is just a title. What defines your professional life is your experience.
