RE: Oracle DBA vs. Oracle Apps DBA - Different? and how?

>>Sometimes I think Apps DBA is shorthand for senior developer.

I'd like to wholeheartedly disagree. Administering Financials fell onto my lap as "just another Oracle-based product". There is much more to knowing this package than meets the eye from DBA prospective. The technology stack alone, with database, forms, web server, code...arrrrrr

In my humble opinion, a good Apps DBA is not only proficient in database administration, but is also aware of large ERP packages and their implications.
