My vote as well. If you don't know PL/SQL you are not too effective as a DBA. Just a point and click addict.
Knowing the shell you are in and having a utilitiy language to use while you are in it are good additions. Although , if you use Unix I would add AWK and SED to that list. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 12:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I tend to agree here. I would say: 1. PL/SQL 2. korn shell (or sh, bash, whatever you choose). 3. Perl These are 3 necessities. -Scott At 09:59 AM 2/18/03 -0800, you wrote: >You need to know PL/SQL if you're going to be effective with Oracle. > >Java is interesting, but not nearly as useful to a DBA as Perl. > >Jared > >On Tuesday 18 February 2003 08:56, Les Ayudo wrote: > > On top of learning Oracle, which programming languages would also benefit > > some1 learning Oracle?
