Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OT - system administration of different UNIX flavors
Dear list !
I'm getting affected by the rumors ;-(
Not enough that everybody (well , mainly MS & IBM) claim that they'll beat
Oracle up very soon and take it off the market ,
there is also a rumor that Solaris is not Oracle's #1 any more.
I started to learn Solaris sys administration a couple of months ago , since
i have seen that it's the most frequently seen UNIX, and i wanted to keep up
with the market.
This question is for those of U who is doing UNIX system administration : is
it easy to sysadmin another UNIX flavor (HP-UX,AIX,Linux) if U're
comfortable with Solaris ?
Is it different inside , from sysadmin point of view ?
Should i switch to learning HP or AIX because Sun is getting abandoned by Oracle and therefore by the IT industry ?
Should i also start looking at IBM DB2 , MS SQL Server or other DBs ,
market-wise ?
Is it easy for an Oracle DBA to become GOOD DB2 , MS SQL Server or other DB
DBA ?
