Re: What should I do to enter Oracle field?

Hi,

    Being a DBA is like being the designated scapegoat. When things are going well the DBA doesn't appear to do much (other than collect what the non-DBAs consider to be an outrageous salary). But, when things go wrong IT'S THE G&(*@##$^& DBAS FAULT!!!!!.     Doesn't matter if the problem was caused by the server power fluctuating like a yo-yo or the developers deleted all of the transaction tables, or the system administrator unilaterally decided to move all of the disk files to different directories, or operations didn't follow the written procedures for the backup so the recovery didn't work....IT'S THE G&(*@##$^& DBAS FAULT!!!!!.     So, if you want to be a dba you should take some courses in martial arts, buy body armor, and hang autographed photos of the FBIs Ten Most Wanted on your cubicle wall. All this in addition to becoming expert in Oracle.
