New Which is why I like Oracle
because they give developers a free copy to learn from. 9i is about three CD-ROMs to download. Hope you have a DSL or faster connection.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

New unless you count time
(* because they give developers a free copy to learn from... *)

I tried that once, and kept getting "listener" errors. Packaging a complex product with complex interprocess mechanisms meant for overpaid DBA's into a plug-n-play CD set does not seem to work too well.

Software that takes up 3 CD's is bound to be a monster.

New Overpaid DBAs?
Maybe.
Or maybe well valued.
Either way, it is a good skillset,
but with limited jobs open you
really have to work hard to get
a position.

I'm not a DBA (I pretend to be one
when the real DBA isn't around), but
it takes me about 10 minutes to install
and setup a sample running Oracle instance
with the current setup. You no longer
have to "create" a database, it copies
a precreated one for you.

Since I hand crafted my system, it
takes about 2 hours for a real one.

New One More Thing
(Favorite saying of Uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures, a cartoon that my kids watch)

It is niiicceee to be the overpaid DBA. I'm one! And certified, too!

One More Thing

Companies care about nothing but money. Government cares about data retention. Who do you think wins? Records must be kept. Too expensive to keep them in files, database perfect job! Programs come and go, but data stays around at least for government required retention period.

One More Thing

Do not badmouth my profffeeeessssiiiiooonnnn!

(I'm really getting into this Uncle thing...)
