Thanks in advance.

A degree in Coputer Information Systems would be a good start. Then a few
Oracle classes and pass your certification exams. That'll keep you busy for a
few years :-)

If you're thinking of doing DBA work, you'll probably want full body armor
and a helmet as well.

Sir, I am not familiar with DBA field, and I don't really understand
what you mean by full body armor and a helmet; can you explain what
that is?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Being a DBA is like being the designated scapegoat. When
things are going well the DBA doesn't appear to do much (other
than collect what the non-DBAs consider to be an outrageous

FAULT!!!!!.

Doesn't matter if the problem was caused by the server power
fluctuating like a yo-yo or the developers deleted all of the
transaction tables, or the system administrator unilaterally
decided to move all of the disk files to different directories,
or operations didn't follow the written procedures for the backup

FAULT!!!!!.

So, if you want to be a dba you should take some courses in
martial arts, buy body armor, and hang autographed photos of the
FBIs Ten Most Wanted on your cubicle wall. All this in addition
to becoming expert in Oracle.

Jerry Gitomer

I would also suggest that you shave your head, since all your hair will
just fall out anyway.

Also when choosing a company to do a backup/recovery course
ask if you can have several phones that ring all the time
in the classroom. Just to make it realistic!
