Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: dba age
I was born on 1/10/1961 in Zagreb, Croatia, which makes me 42 years
of age. My horoscope sign is Ursus (6'4", 260 lbs, used to do greko-roman
wrestling, I can still run 5 miles and lift myself on a chin-up bar). People
sometimes confuse my age with the answer to certain question from the Doglas
Adamses "Hitchiker's Guiide To Galaxy". Don't panic!

Tanel.
I am personally impressed with your pratical knowledge, based on your responses to this list. Mostly DBA's particpating on this list is 35+ (may in the range of 40-45). Only one DBA is 42 years old for the last 5 years. Guess who Gogala Mladen(don't shoot me as I am your fan). That is his favorite/magic figure 42. However, he can tell his real age if he wants.

Hi!
Age isn't the most important criteria for good DBA. Ability to analyze issues and foresee possible consequences of your actions are the most important ones, at least from my point of view.
Personally, I just turned 25. Whether I'm experienced or not, I won't speculate, but so far I've lost no data and have kept all my customers happy
;)

Now this one is difficult folks ..
what is average age of an experienced oracle dba ?
