Oracle DBA and Oracle Apps DBA are 2 very different things too mate.Originally posted by oracleslave View PostI think they were referring to database not Apps. You do Apps SA?
Much like Oracle Developer and Oracle Apps Developer (me).

Ok to be more clear. When I said Database not Apps I meant an Oracle DBA as opposed to an Apps DBA, i.e the op was not an Apps person. I am Functional/PM so excuse me lumping all techies in the same boat

£400 a day sounds a lot for a DBAThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

£400 per day is a fair bit for DBA work, but, if you are a guru, you'll get more.
£50-60K is about right for a good permie DBA, but I'd want nice benefits, too.
DBA work doesn't command as much as development, but I suppose the upside is that it's, usually, less prone to abrupt ends to contracts; once the developers have done their bit, they are let go; the DB still needs looking after.
I was once a developer, but fancied the DBA side more. Never regretted it. More dosh for developing, certainly, but I simply "fell out of love" with it.Comment
