For what it's worth I'll add my .02 cents worth to this. I've been in IT now for 14 years, started with Informix for my first 3 or 4 years, the rest with Oracle. I've seen my share of duhvelopers but get the best giggles from the "fights" that happen between DBA's and System Admins. You know the type I'm talking about, the DBA says the semaphores need to be tweaked and the System Admin knows nothing about Oracle and doesn't want a lowly DBA to poke around ;-)

In my humble opinion, perfect path to DBA enlightenment:

A couple or three years as a developer,
a few as a System Admin
a year as a junior DBA learning the Job
