You're only on your first career? Isn't DBA usually a second or third career at the least? Environments change and the ability to adapt/learn is an evolutionary survival factor.

Meanwhile the fat dogs of the software industry are up to their old tricks. Sigh...

Only by the power of God, Who doesn't think He is Larry Ellison, btw. ;-)

DBA's

Check the article's comment on Oracle trying to ban Teradata from IOUG

Teradata Steals Oracle's Data Mart Users ...

Teradata pushes consolidation and woos away Oracle customers. But Oracle strikes back. Sort of. Will bean counters surf the Web with Excel? Will Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison become immortal?
