Hello,

My goal as an IT professional is to become an Oracle DBA. My current job, however, does not involve databases at all. I know of a company that is seeking a Junior programmer. This position involves Visual C++ and SQL programming within an Oracle database environment. In your experience, would this job be a good way to get me started? Or do you think I should get the Oracle certification first and then wait until junior DBA position comes along?

Here's the job that is being advertised:

"Establish a database oriented Visual C++ applications that utilize ODBC and recordsets;
Develop SQL script within Visual C++ to access an Oracle database; Design and develop Documents, Views, and Dialogs; Utilize various MFC controls;
Write Oracle SQL script for the creation and modification of Oracle tables, indexes, constraints, and keys;
Understand the complexities of client / server Oracle database environments;
Work with familiarity within a Windows NT and/or Windows 2000 professional operating system".

Thanks for any help you may give. Received on Wed Sep 19 2001 - 14:32:39 CDT
