Re: I have a job with Oracle and SQL, what do i need to do?

Thank you for your suggestions.

I am pretty sure he would want me to backup a 'guru', I think he is basically creating a job for his unfortunate smart nephew.....

I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to try to take their buisness to the web with a virgin.

For those interested, I am pretty confused..... I will prob end up getting my MCSE so I can contract out to several different companies. An Oracle DBA seems like the IT equivelant of an Accountant and I can't see myself crunching numbers all day.......

Thank you again
