My experience is that since SQL Server DBA staff earn less on average than Oracle staff the market perception is that there is no need to pay a premium for having skills in both products. I personally think that's pretty poor, but it is consistent with the way product sets are evaluated for compensation packages in our industry Java/C++ developers are unlikely to earn more than Java or C++ developers for example, though they possibly are both more skilled and admittedly will have more opportunities open up. All this is written from a European (specifically UK) perspective.
