Sure everything will be point and click! But it means nothing!
Who will open tars, report bugs, download patches, etc?!
 
When we're using Oracle 7, Oracle said that Oracle 8 will work by itself,
tune itself, low cost maintenance, etc.
 
So, tell me what happened?
 
Also in my opinion DBA duties includes database architect.

Dear List !
Some background : i've been around Oracle for several years , i'm DBAing for
2+ years now , i have written some java code (jdbc , some XML etc) , perl ,
PL/SQL , Tcl/Tk , a lot of UNIX scripting .
.Where do i go to from here ?
 
Many people say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less
demanded in future , because of : 
1) either other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will
occupy the market , especially in small enterprises ; 
2) or Oracle will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click"
, so you do not need a dedicated Oracle DBA at all or you need less Oracle
DBAs .
 
So , the bottom line is : what should i learn now ? how can i extend my
expertise ? In which fields ?
 
Please share your thoughts !
Thanks a lot in advance !
