hi!,

i've been programming on oracle for 2+ years now, but I always get into forms & reports, really I dont feel like using this tools, I'd much more like doing pure coding, backend. I like doing pure pl/sql alone, no gui's included, so I thought I'd apply for a dba, but no one accepts me because i dont have any experience on it, only self study. so I decided to change language, ive been programming also in java, so i got hired into a company that does java & c++ for programming chipsets/semiconductors, i just wanna ask if this is a right move for my career, i mean wont my rate get lower? because from oracle then i move into these languages also far from database programming.
thank you so much again sir/mam

I would say that you have the perfect mix to make an excellent Java/Oracle programmer. Too many of the young Java wantabes do all their programming, including data structure definitions, in Java. They know little or nothing about PL/SQL or database code or behaviour. Read the sample chapter 'Developing Successful Oracle Applications' of Tom Kyte's book "Export Oracle, Signature Edition" (Apress) [ISBN:1590595254]. Unless these Java thickies learn and understand how the database on which they are basing their work actually runs then they are doomed to produce mediocre to unuseable applications.

You should put yourself forward as an 'applications DBA', but you probably do need extensive experience in database structure design including tuning before you will be great. Alternatively, sell yourself as the 'data structure designer' or 'data structure API writer'.

PS: If I have used a term or colloquialism with which you are not familiar, let me know and I will give a fuller explanation.

Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/books_downloads.html and the third entry points to a sample of Tom Kyte's publication.

A 'data structure designer' is the person who converts the documented requirements into the data structure and typically creates the ERD (or UML) and the database table definitions, and is usually considered to be the person responsible for the application at the database level.

A 'data structure API writer' is the person who writes the triggers and packages / procedures / functions ( which equates to Application Programmer Interface) that contain the business rules for the database and permits the Java yahoos to access the database without stuffing it up.

Hi,

Oracle + Java is a very good combination.

You can become a JDeveloper (which is used to build Oracle Fusion). But this is a GUI.

Think and decide.
