Differences between being an Oracle and SQL DBA?

Sorry to post this here, but I need so insight and don't know any Oracle DBA's. As posted here before, Ive been a MSSQL DBA for about 6 years and want to broaden my skill set. One of my ideas is to learn Oracle. For the record, I do realize that my teaching myself wont open up hundreds or Oracle DBA jobs, but Im hoping to land a "mostly SQL with a little Oracle" gig somewhere. Ive successfully installed Oracle on Linux, and now need to make a decision on if to proceed or not. Any insights from people that have worked with both platforms would be especially helpful, but all thoughts are definately welcomed. So now my questions:
1. Why are Oracle DBA's paid more than SQL DBA's? It must be something skill specific? What is it?
2. Will this trend likely continue as newer versions of Oracle are released that are easier to manage?
3. With that extra cash, is there typically more hours involved? I dont mind working a bit extra if needed, but I do have little ones that I'd like to watch grow up.
4. Are there typically differences in the job responsibilities between Oracle and SQL DBA's? The changing trend these days is to include DTS/ Analysis Services/ Reporting Services all under the DBA umbrella. Do Oracle DBA's typically have the same type of stuff?
5. If I do continue down this path, it would probably be far easier for me to learn on Windows than *nix. Is this a valid thing to do, or should I not bother? I've been told that it's still worth while, but have real reservations about needing to tell an interviewer "I've only used it on Windows".
I realize this is all subject to personal experiences and feelings, but don't know how else to figure this stuff out without asking.
TIA, ChrisR

By SQL DBA, I assume you mean SQL Server DBA. SQL is 'Structure Query Language' and is not a specific product, no matter how much the Microsoft community might wish to usurp the term. <g>
There are mauy reasons for this, including the Oracle vs Microsoft mindset that has been nurtured over the years. For many managers, 'Oracle is solid, reliable and expensive' whereas 'Microsoft SQL Server is cheap, not necessarily as reliable, but good enough'.
Whether true or not is irrelevant, these are direct quotes from some of my customers.
My remaining answers are based on my personal experience, and may only be valid in my area. (Yes, things are VERY regional.)
>
1. Why are Oracle DBA's paid more than SQL DBA's? It
must be something skill specific? What is it? Often, an Oracle DBA is a trained DBA. SQL Server DBAs seem to be decent developers who are [or have been stuck] doing DBA work.
I find that SQL Server DBAs who are truly capable of handling all of {backup, recovery, troubleshooting, security, development, disaster recovery, audit, locking, configuration, RAID and disk, upgrade, migration and porting (to name a few)} competently are generally paid comparable to Oracle DBAs.
However, I also find there are extremely few true SQL Server DBAs.
>
2. Will this trend likely continue as newer versions
of Oracle are released that are easier to manage?Yes.
Although Oracle administration is easier, DBAs are now expected to handle more instances, and adminstrator across more servers, and are expected to be competent in more of the feature capabilities.
There is NO reduction in the amount of work. The 'easier to manage' stuff simply means being more efficient.
>
3. With that extra cash, is there typically more
hours involved? I dont mind working a bit extra if
needed, but I do have little ones that I'd like to
watch grow up.
A blatant observation: Oracle tends to be used in more mission critical environments, and SQL Server in department support environments. Mission critical tends to be watched closer, and require 'fast aqnd competent' response. Pager duty seems to be more prevelant in Oracle positions - department server crashes can be handled by a reboot in the morning.
4. Are there typically differences in the job
responsibilities between Oracle and SQL DBA's? The
changing trend these days is to include DTS/ Analysis
Services/ Reporting Services all under the DBA
umbrella. Do Oracle DBA's typically have the same
type of stuff?Many SQL Server 'DBAs' I know personally are 'super developers' but not really DBAs.
Observation: DBAs are often very 'repeatable' detail oriented, whereas developers are 'get it done' oriented. Very different mentailties, both very important.

5. If I do continue down this path, it would probably
be far easier for me to learn on Windows than *nix.
Is this a valid thing to do, or should I not bother?
I've been told that it's still worth while, but have
real reservations about needing to tell an
interviewer "I've only used it on Windows". Oracle is quite operating system independant. Pick your poison.
SQL Server is quite operating system dependant. Some else picks your poison.
There is no shame in saying to an interviewer that you have a strong competence in Oracle but only experience in Windows. A good potential employer will often provide appropriate additional training to a suitable, honest, candidate.

and feelings, but don't know how else to figure this
stuff out without asking.
I strongly encourage you to contact locals rather than ask in these forums. Check whether there is an Oracle User Group close to you, and meet and chat with the members. Ditto for SQL Server. (You can find out by contacting respective sales reps.)
The above is NOT a dismissal of SQL Server capabiltites or SQL Server DBAs. (Some close friends are extremely competent with SQL Server.) It is just a set of personal observations.

  • Differences between TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?

    Does someone know the advantages and disadvantages of using TOAD for Oracle and Oracle SQL Developer?
    I work making reports with TOAD, but in a few days I will have to use the SQL Developer (because it´s free) unless I justify the necessity of using TOAD.
    Could some that used both compare them?
    Thanks,
    Facundo.

    Hello Facundo,
    since we are rolling out new client PCs we switch from Toad to SQL Developer. Therefore I'm doing some training for the "normal" users and our developers.
    Most users simply want to have access to the data in tables and views. For those there are 2 main issues:
    - Filters get lost when exiting table while sorting is still applied. Since there is no way to apply filtering before entering the data tab this can become a great performance issue because sorting is applied to many many rows. For views it is sometimes impossible to open the data tab.
    - Exporting date values to Excel needs some know how if you want to sort by this column in Excel, because the date is formatted as "Standard" meaning that the sorting is done as for a text column: 01.01.2009 is less than 02.01.2008. Here you have to use a workaround column with a formula (=1*<datecolumn>)
    The greatest Pro is the easy sharing of connections and reports by XML files.
    Our developers like the easy debugging in SQL Developer. Though they miss the feature that the source is compiled for debug automatically as in Toad. For this we have distributed a script that compiles any PL/SQL object for debugging.
    There are only some Toads installed for DBAs and for users that need access to tables protected by policies that require authentification by OS user since this information is not passed under every circumstance.

  • Sorting differences between Oracle and SQL Server

    Hello All,
    This question is related to both Oracle and SQL Server
    I have a requirement where I want to compare 2 tables line by line. One table is in Oracle and other table is in SQL Server
    And suppose that both of the tables don't have a primary key. Now when I sort the records using order by clause for a column then -
    Rows having null values in that column of Oracle are placed at the bottom.
    Where as Rows having null values in the same column of SQL Server are placed right at the top.
    How can I make either of them to behave like other.
    My sole aim is to have same order of occurrence of rows in both Oracle and SQL Server tables so that I can compare them line by line.

    For example :
    select * from emp order by comm;
    So all null value in comm column are at the end.
    Now if you wish to get them on the top of select output then :
    SELECT EMPNO,ENAME,JOB,MGR,HIREDATE,SAL,NVL(COMM,0) COMM,DEPTNO FROM EMP ORDER BY COMM;
    Means i am using NVL (oracle function) function. If comm column is having null value it will converted to zero value at the time of exectuion of select query.
    So, now comm column is having zero value in select output and SQL Server is having nulls at the top. I do'nt know who to make nulls to zero in SQL Server. So issue solved.

  • Terminology differences between MSSQL 2005/2008 and Oracle 11g

    I'm looking for some articles/books/webinars/blogs which discuss the terminology differences between MSSQL 2005/2008 and Oracle 11g in terms of database concepts. I have found this article http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SQL+Server/67007 so far.
    Thanks.

    Thanks sb92075. Those returned results are almost all related to compare the features/functionalities between MSSQL and Oracle not to distinguish the terminology differences between them.

  • Question about transfer between oracle and sql server

    Could i program to transfer lots of data between Oracle and SQL Server quickly?
    I have tried make two connection between two databases, but it took me lots of time to transfer data.
    How could I do it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you need to move data fast, then use the Oracle Migration Workbench to Generate SQL Server BCP data extraction scripts and Oracle SQL Loader files.
    This is the fastest way to migrate the data.
    In the Oracle Model UI tab of the Oracle Migration Workbench, right mouse click on the tables folder. there is a menu option to 'Generate SQL Loader ...' scripts. This will help you migrate your data efficiently.

  • How to create database link between oracle and SQL Server

    Hello Everyone,
    Here i have Oracle Database 9i and SQL Server 2005 databases.
    I have some tables in sql server db and i want to access from Oracle.
    How to create a database link between these two servers
    Thanks,

    Thanks for Everyone,
    I was struggle with this almost 10 days....
    I created Database link from Oracle to SQL Server
    Now it is fine.........
    Here i am giving my servers configuration and proceedure how i created the db link...@
    Using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC) we can create db link between Oracle and SQL server.
    Machine (1)
    DB Version : Oracle 9.2.0.7.0
    Operating System : HP-UX Itanuim 64 11.23
    IP : 192.168.0.31

    Host : 192.168.0.175 (machine 2)
    Already I have 1 database in SQL Server with the name SQLTEST
    You can create DSN with different name also (not same as db name also)
    3)     Create a hsodbc init file in $ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin *(Machine 2)*
    Create init<DSN NAME> file

  • Developing database views between Oracle and SQL Server tables

    I am on Oracle 10.2, my organization has many SQL Server databases as well and has now made
    SQL server as company standard so many new databases will be developed in SQL Server. It is of course
    not possible to convert all Oracle databases to SQL Server, so a mix environment will exist. Two questions:
    1.     Is it possible to develop database views in Oracle (10g in my case) which join Oracle tables with tables in SQL Server 2008? If yes, how. I have seen some heterogeneous connectivity setup to connect SQL Server to Oracle, but not sure whether it is possible to develop a database view across two databases.
    2.     I know it is not a SQL Server forum, but many DBA’s know both Oracle and SQL Server. Is it possible to develop views in SQL Server (SQL Server 2008 R2 in my case) which join Oracle 10g and SQL Server 2008 tables? I know in SQL Server, there is way to set up linked servers, but do not know whether it is possible to develop views.
    Thanks a lot for your insight.

    You can create views that join local Oracle tables and remote SQL Server tables. I'm pretty sure you can do the reverse as well but I haven't personally done it.
    However, I would be very concerned about the performance you'd get if you created that sort of view. You'd very frequently end up in a situation where Oracle has to pull all the data in the remote table across the database link in order to apply predicates and join the data locally. That could be disastrous from a performance standpoint.

  • Data sync between oracle and sql server

    Greetings Everyone,
    Your expert views are highly appreciable regarding the following.
    We at work are evaluation different solutions to achieve data synchronization between oracle and sql server data bases. Data sync i mentioned here is for live applications. We are runnign oracle EBS 11i with custom applications and intending to implement a custom software based on .NET and SQL Server. Now the whole research is to see updates and data changes whenever happens between these systems.
    I googled and found Oracle Golden Gate, Microsoft SSIS, Wisdom Force from Informatica....
    If you can pour in more knowledge then it's great.
    Thank You.

    Most of the work involved has to be done through scripts and there is no effective GUI to implement OGG.However using commands is not vey togh and they are very intutive.
    These are the steps, from a high level:
    1.Get the appropriate GG Software for your source and target OS.
    2.Install GG on source and target systems.
    3.Create Manager and extract processes on source system
    4.Create Manager and replicat processes on target system
    5.Start these processes.
    First try to achieve uni-directional replication. Then Bi-directional is easy.I have implemented bi-directional active active replication using Oracle DBs as source and target. Refer to Oracle installation and admin guides for more details.
    Here is a good article that may be handy in your case.

    Short of trying to then reverse-engineer the objects that are in the dump file (I believe Data Pump export files contain some XML representations of DDL in addition to various binary bits, making it potentially possible to try to scan the dump file for the object definitions), I would tend to assume that the export didn't include those type definitions.
    Since it looks like you're trying to set up the sample schemas, is there a reason that you wouldn't just run the sample schema setup scripts on the destination database? Why are you using Data Pump in the first place?

  • Which difference between a PChar parameter and OCIString parameter ?

    Hello, I have some questions concerning the external procedures under Oracle 9i :
    Which difference between a PChar parameter and OCIString parameter ?
    When does one use PChar?
    When does one use OCISstring?
    In a wrapper, can one declare a parameter with a default value?
    Thanks in advance.
    Laurent Dardenne

    The rows retrieved from the database are filtered, if you define
    a parameter. You can see the parameter conditions getting added
    to the SQL, when you view the sql with sql inspector.
    On the other hand, with the page item, the filtering does not
    take place at the database level but at the discoverer level.

  • What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config - when delpoy ?

    What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config? When I create navigation between pages with ADF task flow then the navigation don't work when I deploy my application to Weblogic 10.3. When I use default server then navigation works fine. With Faces_config in both situations all works ok - on Stanalone server and default.
    Where is the problem?
    Best regards!

    Shay, I don't use both faces-config and adf task flow! When I failed with task flow I tried faces-config.
    I have active on my weblogic - adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.0.0). This is the right ADF? If yes then where is the problem?
    Best regards!

  • What is the difference between Wine, Wineskin, Winery and Wine Bottler, and how do I get Wine to *ACTUALLY* work in Mountain Lion?

    Ok, so this is my first post here and I am admittedly terrible at forums. Someone might say, "This was addressed in the ___________ thread by __________! Go read it!" --- that may be so but I've spent enough hours trying to google this problem into submission to no avail based on what is apparently working for others, so I would like a chance to get specific answers to specific questions that aren't from Mar 2011, etc.
    So first of all, I'm confused by all the various Wine programs/apps/whatevers. I've seen Wine, Wineskin, Winery, Wine Bottler, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more than that. What's the difference between all of these and how do they work with one another? What do I actually need to get windows programs working?
    All of my google searches have led me to people giving out fish, but no one giving out fishing lessons. I'm not a pro at mac and windows and all that, but I'm a fairly bright individual who gets VERY frustrated, very quickly, when I don't understand the why and how of something I'm attempting.
    I've also found "answers" where the person attempting to help starts off helpful enough, but degrades into the most archaic of techno-babble after about 5-6 sentences. On the other hand, I've watched tutorials on youtube where the poster decides to skip (apparently crucial) sections of the tutorial, and mutters such gems as: "... you might wanna have to run Wine first before you can do anything, cuz I think it has to configure it and set up a bunch of stuff" 
    O.o
    A happy medium between techno-babble and the most basic of explanations would be ideal for me, and I'd imagine for others as well.
    Here is a summarized history of my relationship with Wine:
    Diablo II - I downloaded this awesome thing which ended up being... uh... I guess Diablo II in a Wineskin "wrapper". I'm not sure, all I know is that it's a D2 icon, and if I go to 'show package contents', it's got C drive, Program Files, et cetera inside of it. I double click it, it launches D2, and it works like a dream. <3
    'Vanilla Install' - That's what I heard someone call it. It was the command/terminal style install using xquartz and xcode found at http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/. I followed every instruction to the letter, and got all the way to '$ sudo port install wine', at which point it started going smoothly, free from the possible error he described regarding the installation of xcode, and then just failed after I left the room to use the restroom and came back. Please don't ask me to repeat what the error was, because honestly, after reading more things on the interwebs, I'm confused as to why it's even necessary to go through all of that, so I'd rather not try that route again anyways, rendering the error message quite possibly irrelevant.
    Wine + Wine Bottler - So I decided to try to seek out an easier method, as I know that one must exist that doesn't involve command lines. I found a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BBkISOcEA, and oh man would it be great if that method had actually worked. Again, I followed all instructions provided to procure my free fish, and at the point in the video where he declares that "xquarts or x11 will open" - it doesn't open. Nothing opens. I was trying to install Star Sonata, btw.
    So here I am, thoroughly worn out, frustrated at all the random places Wine is installed on my mac now, and just want someone to explain it all, from top down, without getting toooooooo technical on me. I know that might be asking a lot...

    ## I know that the poster has already found a solution, but the following is a possible answer for others that have similar issues.
    For Winebottler, just go to their website and download it. Run the program. Choose .wine as your prefix (best choice) or whatever suits you best. You'll need a functional X11. If you can't use the one that comes with your mac, download the latest one from the website.
    If your issue is one with Winebottler's Wine not running correctly due to X11, then you have a pretty ugly problem, although a simple upgrade is the best solution (Upgrade XQuartz.app).
    http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/#part-1
    The above website is the easiest way to get REAL wine on your computer. First of all, Wineskin WInery, etc. are NOT WINE. They are 3rd party apps that may use Wine or may have originally part of Wine, but they are no longer up to date with Wine. WineBottler is currently up to date with the stable releases of Wine (but not the maintenence releases).
    For the website tutorial and to run Wine on your mac without using a thrid party app, you will need to know a few things.
    First, you will need to know basic control of the command line. That means, sudo (you must know the administrator password to your computer), and the forms of cd (change directory).
    Second, you will need Xcode. Download 4.2 (stable) or whatever other versions you want, but beware: It is over 1 GB, and you will need time for it to work.
    Third, you will need to get MacPorts and configure it. The tutorial should have this data.
    When you download wine (use sudo port install wine-devel for the latest development release of wine), it will first download a lot of dependencies. This will take a while. After that, it will download wine itself.
    After obtaining wine, to run a program, open the terminal.app window.
    cd desktop/XYZ/ZYZ\ WRQ
    The above will first enter the desktop, then folder XYZ, then folder ZYZ WRQ. From here,
    wine th11e.exe
    Or whatever executable you are trying to open. (Using Subterranean Animism as my example).
    It should, in theory, run the program. Watch the terminal for errors. If there is an X11 problem, then it's not wine acting up. If the app crashes or has other issues, check the Wine Application Database to see if your app is compatible with wine.
    If you have any further questions or other things, feel free to reply; I may or may not get back to you, but there's a good chance that someone will come in eventually. Otherwise, the Wine Wiki should have some information.
