Narh. Not those two, unless you encourage them: They love me! :D

Well, marketing should be pushing that side hard. It's not often that Oracle can claim that much of an advantage over DB2. It really is.

Here, they should. And they probably should continue to do so. There is still a perception that Linux setup and hardware config is a bit of black magic. Certifications help.

An add asking for people with 3 years experience 2 months BEFORE the product was announced here, IIRC. Takes the cake from all the deranged head hunter drivel I've ever seen!

Well, that's the thing. What exactly is a RAC expert? Someone who can install Linux clustering? or Oracle 9.2? Or the CFS? I'm even hearing now that Linux is SO different from Unix that Unix experts MUST take the Linux certification in order to understand how to use the command line... :D What exactly is there in the setup that requires so much "expertise"?
