Hello Everyone,
I am pretty much new to this forum, i have a question for all you DBA guys.
I have been working in tech support for over 5 years now, mostly in the DTP (OS 9, OS X, some Windows). I have been looking to change my job in few years in a different field. Recently I've been looking at Oracle/SQL DBA. What can you guys recommend as a starting point for someone with my experience? any feedback greatly apprieciated.

Applications will come and go, programing languages will change, OS will become more stable. But data will always be needed and will be there and to manage data you need a DBA (being optimistic here). So yes its a good field.

And yes, Mr. Hanky is a genius. He is the official clown, mascot, and developer shooter of DBAsupport. Respect him and you will be left in peace.

I have to disagree with you Hrishy. Only cool people are bald. Get the goate with some tat's. Come on everyone's doing it!
Oracle it's not just a database it's a lifestyle!
