As someone who may very well be laid off next week, I'm very appreciative of the article. ;-) One caveat -- Junior DBA's don't fare as well. Everyone and their brother seem to want at least 2 years experience. Luckily for me I've been doing this for a long time, but some of my former employees

Since version 4 and 5, it is constantly claimed by Oracle that things will become smoother with new version but in reality all new versions come with new features and more complexites. Inspite intoducing tools like Enterprize Manager, DBA has to be involved in all aspect of System Maintenance.

I disagree.  So does Parade magazine from yesterday's Sunday paper (for all you in the US that get it - it said that DBA demand is increasing 70% per year if I recalled the article correctly.  I don't have it at work now, so please correct my numbers if you have it). -Original Message
