I was sitting in a government job doing things like MVS/JCL, VM, Rexx, PL/I
and x-base database applicaitons and was looking for a new job. I
interviewed with a company which was doing Oracle development on a VAX
platform. Although I didn't have any Oracle experience I had used DCL in an
RSX11M environment, so I was hired. About a month later I completed my
first SqlForms 3.0 application and was in the process of converting all of
their SqlForms 2.3 applications to 3.0. All I had done is read books, asked
a few questions of others in my department and spent hours pounding on the
keyboard. Within a year I was doing DBA work and was heavily involved in a
variety of projects that mostly involved PL/SQL, Pro-C, SqlForms and
SqlReport 2.0.
