Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle DBA evolution path - please share your opinion
Sure everything will be point and click! But it means nothing! Who will open tars, report bugs, download patches, etc?!
When we're using Oracle 7, Oracle said that Oracle 8 will work by itself, tune itself, low cost maintenance, etc.
So, tell me what happened?
Also in my opinion DBA duties includes database architect.

Dear List !
Some background : i've been around Oracle for several years , i'm DBAing for
2+ years now , i have written some java code (jdbc , some XML etc) , perl ,
PL/SQL , Tcl/Tk , a lot of UNIX scripting .
.Where do i go to from here ?
Many people say that the profession of Oracle DBA is going to be less
demanded in future , because of :
1) either other DB ( like less-expensive MS SQL Server or free MySQL) will
occupy the market , especially in small enterprises ;
2) or Oracle will "improve" the DB management and make it "point and click"
, so you do not need a dedicated Oracle DBA at all or you need less Oracle
DBAs .
So , the bottom line is : what should i learn now ? how can i extend my expertise ? In which fields ?
Please share your thoughts !
Thanks a lot in advance !
