My vote as well.
If you don't know PL/SQL you are not too effective as a DBA. Just a point and click addict.
Knowing the shell you are in and having a utilitiy language to use while you are in it are good additions. Although , if you use Unix I would add AWK and SED to that list.

I tend to agree here. I would say:
1. PL/SQL 2. korn shell (or sh, bash, whatever you choose). 3. Perl
These are 3 necessities.
