I AGREE WITH PANDO. IF you dont have to dont get into ORACLE APPS administration. I did it for 1.5 yrs and it sucks really bad. Oracle Apps arent stable and every .releases require about 200 patches and each patch takes about 3- 5 hrs to install based on if its a mega patch etc.

The patch always breaks...by the way...you have to open a tar with Oracle. They dont have a clue and you usually get involved with Oracle Developers and they promise these pathes in their next upgrade but your clients will not have the patients to wait that along..and u get al the heat.

i rather be an simple dba. drop me an email if you wantl.
