Re: A DBA's career development

Dear Andrey and other Fellow DBA's,
For quite some time I have been wondering about the same fact that Andrey has thought. I started my career Oracle 7 DBA and moved on. When 8 was released, we quickly did not upgrade the db. Now when 9i is released, with so many things in it, I asked myself what will happen to the future of DBA's who are associated with Oracle as DBA's. May now it is the time that we have to shift our gears and think of something innovative and do things which are beneficial to our children.

If I'm wrong in any ways, then please excuse me.

Regards
Venkat
