For those that: * live for challenge * are afraid of nothing and not intimidated by complexity * make that, 'love complexity' ) * can't forget about a problem until it's fixed * willing to RTFM til they drop * design and execute tests to understand how things work * RTFM some more * drive technology. Hey, there's more to a good DBA than databases. * did I mention RTFM? * learn from their mistakes * admit they make mistakes * RTFM to minimize mistakes All others need not apply.

I used to be a full-fledge Oracle programmer but wanted to dabble with database administration. I asked my boss whether I could be a database administrator. His answer is yes but I still need to maintain my current systems. Now, I am a database administrator-cum-programmer. I support turnkey projects, automate processes for my users, maintain current projects, install/maintain database & support Oracle Applications etc. Prepare for lots of OT but what the heck, U will get to learn a lots of interesting things in the process ....
