I
disagree. So does Parade magazine from yesterday's Sunday paper (for all
you in the US that get it - it said that DBA demand is increasing 70% per year
if I recalled the article correctly. I don't have it at work now, so
please correct my numbers if you have it).

share your opinion
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) ,
perl , 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 :
- either
other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will occupy the
market , especially in small enterprises ;
- 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
class=432311816-26022001>
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 !
