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.
