It has nothing to do with a GUI. Unix has a GUI also. You are discussing what people use as a desktop OS not a server - two different things. Highly irrelevant. A GUI does not make up for lack of competence in a field. Good DBA's know about the architecture, are excellent problem solvers and all of that has nothing to do with a GUI. The job goes far beyond creating a table or an index.
