so you are saying I should learn java (not too much apparently) blame everything on the database and miltiply my income four times? sounds good... downloading JDK and eclipse. :-P
Now, I don't think it's DBAs that increase the costs of the project, I think it the DB Licenses that do.
Oh, let's install a RAC here and why not make it an Active DataGuard... oh, wait, we went from the 4k of a SE to 20K in licensing... per CORE... fun! (I might be off in the numbers as I've never actually had to deal with licenses... but still)
Anyway, luckily (or regrettably?) it is not the case here that developers (regular ones at least) are paid more than dbas... :-P not that we get paid a lot... I think that speaks to the level of the devs' salaries more than it does to the dba's
cheers
