Re: Where does a DBA go from here?

Consider looking at the web sites of the Oracle DBA's who are up on the latest techniques. They sometimes teach advanced classes. Craig Shallahamer (www.orapub.com) offers an advanced class, as does Cary Millsap. Steve Adams recently taught a class in San Francisco. Tim Gorman may give advanced classes.

The latest and best thinking seems to appear first in papers that are freely available, and then later appears in books and classes. These four DBA's offer papers like that on their sites, and link to other sites with more of the same. After a certain point you have to turn to quality books, papers and conferences.

If it's classes you want, a clever move might be to take some UNIX or Windows system administration ones, to broaden your skills into some new area like that.
