    I've read (and enjoyed) the original post that focused primarily on what a DBA should do on day one.

    Aside from the obvious (stop, listen, take notes, repeat), are there any day one activities recommended for a new Developer? I will be starting a Dev role in March and have gathered a few things on my own. Mainly retrieving definitions of various objects: tables, views, sequence, synonyms and such.

    This might not be day one. But try to get an understanding of the applications from the end-user point of view. Find out purpose of each application and primary users/operators.
