Hello,

It is true that Oracle 10g is very advanced and can help an Oracle DBA more than earlier versions. There are some sales verbiage being propagated that suggests that 10g is so advanced that it will replace the need for Oracle DBAs or in an environment with mulitple DBA's you can fire some seasoned DBA's as they will not be needed. As an OCP I have my opinion but I am asking for your non-sales technical opinion here.

QUESTION:
In a growing enterprise environment with multiple database servers running complex and large databases (some VLDB) is Oracle 10g so advanced that an organization should consider firing DBA's?

Thanks,
