Subject: Oracle vs other = DBMS

Hi , all !

May be this one is quite off-topic , = but i hope=20 U'll excuse me ....

I'm just curious to compare Oracle = with other=20 DBMSs ( like Informix , Sybase , SQL Server , mySQL , = DB2 etc=20 ... ) from DBAs point of view ?

Is anyone administering or = administered other=20 DBMSs ? Was it easy to switch from it to Oracle ?

I consider myself as an intermediate = level Oracle=20 DBA . I have pretty good understanding of Oracle logics . Does that = mean that=20 it will be easy for me to became Informix or Sybase DBA=20 ?

Are there the same DB components ? = ( Are=20 there definitions like SGA , datafile , logfile , tablespace , index , = sort_area_size , SQL*Loader , snapshot , db_block_size etc.. in other = DBMSs ?=20 )

Another point : we all know that = Oracle is=20 developing very fast : they introduced Java stored procedures , XML , = objects=20 , InterMedia , IFS , etc ....

What do others do ? What's going on = in the market=20 ?

The bottom line is : if there = is a strong=20 demand for Informix , Sybase or Sql Server DBAs tomorrow , = can i=20 easily become one ? Is it like to start writing TCSH scripts = when U have=20 a strong KSH background , or something more complicated ?

THANKS a lot in advance = !
