There will always be a demand for Database skills, so here we measure different aspects
|
In fact, being an Oracle DBA is as close as you can get to having a job for life these days.
The second most common occupation would be as a Database Developer,(which would mean PL/SQL
skills for Oracle).
The demand for Data Architects is growing as the Internet and e-Commerce force many organisations
to rationalise and integrate their Data Sources.
The rest of this Page shows the number of the permanent and contract positions currently available for some Database-related Skills.
Nick Wells maintains an excellent Web Site showing Job Stats for the UK
and updates the figures every week.
