I agree, right now it is one of the best growing job markets. Computers
will be around forever, and until they can operate themeselves, learn on
their own and take care of themselves when they break, there will always be
a need for people like us.

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. With
the advent of Internet access, maintenance of large and 24*7 databases
becoming more sensative. In my humble opinion, demand for experienced DBA's
may be growing and not declining in coming future.

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 !
