i'm new to this DBA field, so i may sound childish when i ask this question. What is the daily work of a DBA? What is the daily routine work of an Oracle DBA? i hope many DBA gurus would share their experience. Thanks in advance
I think if you're doing the same thing every day, there's a big problem. Who wants to spend their life checking log files and running the same old scripts on the database? If you end up doing something more than three times, automate it. I think the last time I looked at an alert.log was three years ago. I automated the process so when something of interest pops up, I get an alert. I have a script that watches free space in the database and knows when and where to add a datafile should the need arise.
Your worth as a DBA increases when you can solve problems, not check items off a list.
I read my emails, monitor databases usually through
email, write bash scripts to do the work, play Dungeon
Crawl and write snarky posts on online forums.

First thing to do is to define what's acceptable and what's not acceptable otherwise how would you know there is any degradation?
Set performance baselines for the most critical queries and processes; if possible negotiate performance SLAs with Business then keep the database performing in between the acceptable boundaries.
