QUESTION POSED ON: 18 January 2008
What are the requirements for becoming a Junior DBA?

EXPERT RESPONSE
A lot of DBAs have a development background, so you could start there. As you develop, learn SQL, PL/SQL, etc. and show an interest in understanding and learning the internals of the database. Also, don't be afraid to ask to be trained to be a DBA.
