Dear List
!
Some
background : i've been around Oracle for several years , i'm DBAing for 2+ years now , i have written some java code (jdbc , some XML etc) , p<SPAN class=432311816-26022001>erl , PL/SQL , Tcl/Tk , a lot of UNIX scripting .
<SPAN

class=432311816-26022001>.<FONT
face=Arial>Where do i go to from here
?

Many people
say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less demanded in future , because of :
1) either
other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will occupy the market , especially in small enterprises ; 2) or Oracle
will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click" , so you do not need a dedicated Oracle DBA at all or you need less Oracle DBAs .
<SPAN

So , the
bottom line is : what should i learn now ? how can i extend my expertise ? In which fields ?
<SPAN

Please share
your thoughts !
Thanks a lot
in advance !
