Hi Lisa,
I would ask you to think about how much you would prefer to stay within the Oracle "world" and specialise and offer the higher expertise that would flow from that. Running Oracle on NT is no big deal and I would not value it much for future prospect of helping me secure another Oracle DBA position in a Unix "shop".

Subject: OT: Oracle + Other DBMS's
Good morning everyone,
I've been job hunting as of late. I interviewed at a place that wants an Oracle DBA to run one Oracle database (on NT), one problematic Informix database/application (on HP/UX) and a whole slew of SQL Server databases. The people are very nice, which is a good change, I've interviewed places where the dba's there were just nasty, maybe they felt threatened. But, if I decide I am interested in this position, I'm afraid of losing touch with my Oracle skills and spending all my time learning NT, Informix and SQL Server. The benefits for this position are incredible (never receiving a traffic ticket again is a real possibility).
My question is: How many of you are responsible for databases that run on multiple DBMS's? Do you see that as a good thing or bad thing?
