The demand for database consulting is strong, and if you are equipped with the Oracle certification and experience, you have bright career prospects ahead of you. He further states that if you closely examine relational databases today, you will find it broken down to the SQL and Oracle servers. This in itself explains why Oracle DBA consultants are in high demand today and will be in the next 12 to 15 years.
