I'm 15 going on 24 (the OT guys know what I mean ;) ).

I'm 24 really. Been using this Oracle stuff for around 5 years now.. I'm not a DBA by job title, though I am DBA trained (on Oracle & SQLServer) and feel I could do the job quite competently..

I think I'm the youngest whippersnapper around here.. Have been for quite a while too.. ;)

  I was born on 1/10/1961 in Zagreb, Croatia, which makes me 42 years   of age. My horoscope sign is Ursus (6'4", 260 lbs, used to do greko-roman   wrestling, I can still run 5 miles and lift myself on a chin-up bar). People
  sometimes confuse my age with the answer to certain question from the Doglas
  Adamses "Hitchiker's Guiide To Galaxy". Don't panic!

  Tanel.

  I am personally impressed with your pratical knowledge, based on your   responses to this list. Mostly DBA's particpating on this list is 35+ (may   in the range of 40-45). Only one DBA is 42 years old for the last 5 years.   Guess who Gogala Mladen(don't shoot me as I am your fan). That is his   favorite/magic figure 42. However, he can tell his real age if he wants.

  Regards

  Hi!

  Age isn't the most important criteria for good DBA.   Ability to analyze issues and foresee possible consequences of your actions
  are the most important ones, at least from my point of view.

  Personally, I just turned 25. Whether I'm experienced or not, I won't   speculate, but so far I've lost no data and have kept all my customers happy

  ;)

  Tanel.

     Now this one is difficult folks ..

     what is average age of an experienced oracle dba ?
