It looks like DM is the biggest 10g evangelist here. :-) However, I do
not know about the situation in the US, but here it is no so hot. Just
last week I asked the local Oracle repr. about any production
reference using 10g. There is not a single one in the country, with
some exceptions from an educational sector (that doesn't count). So
there is simply no demand from employers for 10g skill yet. As I see
it, I will in the first half of the next year attend Oracle 10g - New
features for administrator/developers and sometime in the middle of
2005 maybe I will start thinking about using 10g for the first time in
my organizations (it is almost two years since I did this with 9i,
seems like yesterday).
Of course, I already installed and played with Oracle 10g, but simply
because of curiosity and anxiety to see it, not because of any real
need. So I do not see 10g skill right now right here as a must. Maybe
in some other countries the situation is entirely different.
