Hello everyone,
I am interested in a career in database administration.
I am having 2 yrs academic project work experience in Oracle 8i/9i
SQL/PL SQL programming. I am familiar with performance tuning
slightly. I am also familiar with Oracle 9iAS (Forms, Reports). I have
a few questions.
1. How good is a career as a DBA. (Its future prospects)
2. Which among Oracle DBA and SQL Server DBA is better.
3. For the starters(in terms of DBA concepts), is Oracle9i DBA ok to
start with or a book in Oracle 8i DBA necessary.
4. what are the best books and references for learning about Oracle 8i
DBA or Oracle 9i DBA.
Sorry for the list of questions.
Thanks in advance,

First, there are 5 to 20 developer jobs for every DBA job
Second, the way IT jobs are being outsourced I am not sure I could
recommend going into IT to anyone, but it you do want to work in IT
then the best future probably belongs to areas related to requirements
analysis and project management. Someone has to provide the
specifications to the remote programmers and someone has to manage the
project from the local end.
IMHO -- Mark D Powell --
DBA is an excellent career. As long as there are systems around there
will be databases in one form or another. Every current database
needs a DBA. Someday DBAs may be made obsolete by completely
self-administering databases, but that day is a long way off.
Between Oracle and SQL Server, an Oracle DBA (with Unix experience)
will make more money. Best is to have multiple experiences. If you
know Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 you will be in great demand.
Good luck! This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

A lot of people express disdain when I mention that I like C and find
it easier to use and understand than other languages. I detest the
idea of switching from one language to another and not being able to

languages mentioned on my resume. I did this in my engineering course
and gained nothign out of it. I don't consider my self proficient in C
either but I'm trying. This...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
