Question

can any body help me out for how is the job oppurtunities for sql server DBA...?is future is good for this position...?does it has more oppurtunities over oracle...?

thanks, sivaram

Answer 1

I think there are more opportunities for Oracle DBA's because Oracle is much more complicated DB and requires much more hand holding. Whether that is a good thing or not is another question.

Answer 2

Plenty of opportunity for both if you know what your doing and have experience. Because Oracle has been trusted longer though, it probably houses more large db's than SQL Server and therefore provides more opportunities for DBA's.

Answer 3

PLenty of opportunities for either, but Oracle dbas tend to earn more because Oracle databases tend to be more complicated to maintain.

Answer 4

There are plenty of opportunities for both. However, don't pick a technology to learn based on the job outlook. It just changes too frequently. Pick a technology you enjoy working with and you will tend to become more skilled at it driven by your interest and enjoyment of working with it. Experts on any of the commonly used platforms will be in demand.
