He indicated they have about 25 oracle DBAs and about 45 oracle developers on staff.
Not very smart recruitment policy in that company (or could be exactly the oposite and I have the absolutely wrong point of view).

Nowaday, most jobs sort of blend DBAing and programming. There was recently even an article in Certification Magazine.

Although I am the Senior DBA, I also do a lot of PL/SQL package programming, even Reports, etc.
