Hello all:
I am a Solaris Unix Administrator with 6+ yrs. of experience in major
companies who also has experience with AIX. Since I am good at Unix I
would like to move into Oracle world, preferrably as an entry-level
DBA. I have started preparing for the first OCA exams but am looking
for an entry-level Oracle job. (even if it is an intern its fine for
now).
How do I break into Oracle world? Although I have Unix certifications,
an engineering bachelors, some shell scripting etc, I find that nobody
is willing to let me in. I just need to get my foot in the door.
Please advise.

Oracle is completely different from Unix. A good command of SQL is
mandatory. Likely your problem is going to be you have insufficient
programming experience.
Most competent DBAs have originally worked as developer.

Thanks, Sybrand. I do have cert in c/c++ programming and have worked
as a developer for a bit. But I still didn't get any answer to my
original query. I have, in past and at present am studying SQL and
that would be not my main problem.
Any craetive suggestions that might help me break into the field? sy******@yahoo. com wrote in message news:<a1******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... za*******@yahoo .com (cyber-arkitect) wrote in message news:<6f******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... Hello all:

If I were in your shoes, I'd target smaller firms that may be in the
market for a combination systems administrator/ DBA/ developer. Firms
that aren't large enough to have full-time systems admins, full-time
DBA's, etc are going to tend to be a lot more receptive to someone who
has excellent systems administration credentials and is excited about
learning the DBA tasks.
The other option is to look for a position as a database developer
(i.e. SQL or PL/SQL programmer). Many larger organizations will pull
their entry-level DBA's from among their better SQL developers.

Hi,
We have a couple of web applications where data is updated on a weekly

Hello. Sorry about the length of this post. I am trying to implement a hash
table for my chess program, and decided to try using the VC++ . NET
(Dinkumware) version of hash_map.
The role of the hashtable is to store HashEntry objects, which contain
information about chess positions.
A BitBoard is just an __int64, and this is used to determine the hash key.
I have not shown the definition of class ChessPosition, but all you need to

I'm in the market for a server to run some python code which is
optimized via psyco.
Sun T2100 servers come with Solaris 10, which comes with python
pre-installed.
Since those servers use the 64-bit Opteron box, I would assume that the
Python is a 64-bit version. (Does anyone know whether this is
true/false?)

I need to copy a long type value into a char string using a memcpy

On windows machine it works well, on Solaris not. The windows and

solaris 9(a/c to my invetsigation it is "Yes").
2. If above question is yes,What needs to be done in order for compiler
to overload constructor once with bool and one with integer.
Iam asking these question as iam encountering following errors.
