To them you are still a "DBA". If they had broken it down into Oracle DBA and SQL Server DBA then they wouldn't have a leg to stand on... they would see the dual role in your title and should pay you more for that. Most companies hide behind that... it really gets bad when you really know and administer 3 database platforms and get paid for 1. I will just blame it on the economy... less to do more! :)

Just that they were getting a "twofer". And they needed one. We have other DBAs here who are proficient on one or the other and they have the same title, less exp and paid the same or more. So we just train them? Then they'll know how to do both, right? I was offered a job that was to manage 220 SQL server boxes and 1 oracle exadata box for 105K.
