I am interested in exploring a career in database administration. I have checked out Oracle's website (Oracle University) but it doesn't really offer a starting point for people new to the database field.
I have two questions:
1. Where does a newbie to the database field start in Oracle? Should I concentrate on the latest and greatest or start with Oracle 8 or 9i?
2. Is it worth the trouble? I have heard from people that most companies won't touch you unless you have at least 2 to 5 years of experience.
Any feedback would be apprecitated. I'm looking to make a career change in light of the recent overseas outsourcing craze.
Thanks,
Bud
