Planning the Database
As a DBA, you must plan:
1. The logical storage structure of the database and its physical implementation:
* How many disk drives do you have for this?
* How many data files will you need? (Plan for growth.)
* How many tablespaces will you use?
* Which type of information will be stored?
* Are there any special storage requirements due to type or size?
2. The overall database design
3. A backup strategy for the database
