Chapter 10 - Ease of Administration
Good Documentation is Essential
Documenting processes, procedures and best
practices is a task that is often considered to be boring and
mundane. Most DBAs would rather perform virtually any other activity
than sit in front of a screen using a word processor. As a result,
creating documentation is often postponed until the DBA has a little
free time to kill. Today’s database administration units are
operating with smaller staffs, tighter budgets and ever-increasing
workloads. The end result is that the documentation is either never
created or created and not kept current.
But a robust detailed documentation library
creates an environment that is less complex, less error-prone,
reduces the amount of time DBAs spend learning new database
environments and reduces the overall time spent on day-to-day
support activities. DBAs are able to spend more time administering
the environment than finding the objects they are trying to support.
The following list of suggestions will provide
a good foundation for any database administration library:
-
Naming conventions
-
Servers
-
Databases
-
Tablespaces
