We have a really small Oracle DB (< 1.5gb of data). I honestly did
more work in Oracle in class than I do here.
Another point is that in the Oracle 9i DBA certification track they
don't teach Unix scripting at all. One reason is because you can be a
DBA running on the Windows Paltform (I personally wouldn't want to try
that, but it is done).
