That would be equivalent to saying.."A SQL Server DBA that can't pick up Oracle in a week is no SQL Server DBA".. common, let's be real here, we all had years and years of experience to become experts at what we do.
Even though I used mysql somewhat for the past few years, it's really Oracle that I know, and mysql probably don't even know of 5% of mysql capabilities (as opposed to maybe 40% of oracle ;).. I certainly wouldn't go looking for a job as a mysql DBA. .......
