Database
OracleOracle is the world's largest enterprise software company and the jobs in the oracle field are on huge demand in job market. There are thousands of professionals professionals, working in almost all countries around the world in this technology and create enterprise software that solves customers' problems. Getting the oracle certification from this company is really a great credit to one's career. Oracle professionals are in such high demand that they are the most likely to be hired without experience.
So some of the interview questions one might face for an Oracle DBA would be like whether the person is familiar with using online or off-line backups, how would one handle technical problem given a problem for them, what is the database size handles by them in their past if the person is an experienced person and so on.
DBA’s would find it harder to get job as a fresher than developers because it is very difficult to focus what a person knows as a DBA. For a DBA, having at least the OCA certification is an ideal one. If one is trying for a job as a Production DBA and if they have no experience, it would be difficult for them to get the job without experience as a Production DBA. This is because this job would require resolving technical issues in a very short time and this could be done only by experienced persons. So it is better to go for a job in Development DBA and then switch to Production DBA after gaining experience.
Also in addition to the growth of oracle job in market this growth would definitely increase in future because Oracle Company comes with upgraded version which serves well than the earlier versions and thus the performance is improved much in later versions and thereby retaining the market growth.

The article is wonderful. The main problem with DBA job is no job without experience and no experience without job. All DBA posts requires REAL job experience for DBA posts and the REAL experience of DBA job/duties can not be learned through books only or though a study center. Its like chicken or the egg problem.
