As a senior Java code monkey and team lead, if posed with the choice of hiring one Oracle DBA at $80K per year, or two junior Java code monkeys at $40K per year, I'll hire the Java monkeys and train them to be admins and they will be as competent as necessary. The bottom line is DBA's cost a company money, Java developers make a company money, and no good database product should need a $80K per year "babysitter." </grin>
