as it happens, my degree is in computer science. But tell me exactly
how a degree in computer science, from 1975, before PCs, before Unix,
before Oracle and basically before relational databases has ANYTHING to
do with my ability to be an Oracle DBA.
Much more relevant is the fact that I have 12 years experience as an
Oracle DBA, have project and team management experience, a total of
almost 29 years experience in IT overall
