You seem to have quite a bit of confusion.

1. Oracle Forms and Reports, any version, is virtually irrelevant to a DBA position
2. Developer/2000 is an obsolete product no longer supported by Oracle
3. But yes you might land an entry level developer job. But I wouldn't expect anyone would have much use for you unless you can handle nested cursor loops and some serious PL/SQL which is something you don't mention at all.
