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).

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
?
<SPAN

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 !
