Dear List
!
Some
background : i've been around Oracle for several years , i'm DBAing for 2+
years now , i have written some java code (jdbc , some XML etc) , perl , PL/SQL , Tcl/Tk , a lot of UNIX scripting
.
.Where do i go to from here
?
Many people
say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less demanded in future ,
because of :
1) either
other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will occupy the
market , especially in small enterprises ;
2) or Oracle
will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click" , so you do not
need a dedicated Oracle DBA at all or you need less Oracle DBAs
.
So , the
bottom line is : what should i learn now ? how can i extend my expertise ? In
which fields ?
Please share
your thoughts !
Thanks a lot
in advance !
