Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: OT: Oracle + Other DBMS's
Hi Lisa,
I've been working with Oracle all my professional life
(11 years). I've been on a site having Oracle, DB2,
Informix and Sybase. I've learn DB2 a little bit.
Now part of my current job is to be a backup of the
Sybase DBA, so I'm learning Sybase.
It's nice to see other RDBMS and compared but besides
DB2 I would not leave the Oracle world. Oracle covers
a wide variety of applications and opportunities. The
pay is good in the Oracle world and I have a job
security because Oracle is a leader in its market.
Do not forget that people are changing job more often than our parents did, so make sure that if after 2 years you want to change, you're still in position to change.
