RE: Programming languages that make DBA's lives easier

[Cary Millsap]

In priority order, I would recommend:   SQL Whatever language your apps are written in: it’s probably Java or PL/SQL, but it might be anything (PHP, Perl, VB, ASP, Python, Tcl, C, C++, C#, ksh, csh, sh, etc.). If you’ve not found your job yet, then the best bets are Java and PL/SQL. Whatever language your database and system administration staff use to do their jobs. If you’ve not found your job yet, then I’d submit that the best one to start with is Perl.   Cary Millsap Hotsos Enterprises, Ltd. http://www.hotsos.com Upcoming events: - RMOUG Training Days 2003, Mar 5–6 Denver - Hotsos Clinic 101, Mar 25–27 London -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Les Ayudo Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 10:56 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Programming languages that make DBA's lives easier   On top of learning Oracle, which programming languages would also benefit some1 learning Oracle?  Perl?
