Oracle has been saying for years that you wil no longer need DBAs. I
suppose it's possible, although the database gets more and more
complicated each release, as more and more new features that can shoot
themselves in the foot are added.
On the other hand, SOMEONE will need those DBAs. Oracle? And isn't this
just a little bit like that monopoly that Larry was so insistent on
toppling?
