I agree with Dennis. There are shops out there that have their system administrators also handle the SQL Server databases, but I haven't seen shops where system administrators are also responsible for Oracle databases. A lot of places don't understand that just because it's easy to set up SQL Server, it doesn't mean you don't need a SQL Server DBA in order to keep the databases running optimally and properly protected.

But more related to your question, I'm not sure if there are more SQL Server DBA jobs than Oracle DBA jobs. It seems to me that there is always demand for DBAs that are skilled and experienced with either RDBMS.
