Career in Databases?

Neil Weicher asks:

Question

I like to earn a solid career in databases like Oracle,SQL Server, MySQL etc.Currently i am preparing for OCP(Oracle Certified Professional) exam. I like to know what is the best way to do preparation and which area in databases has got the most jobs around the world or in USA?

Answer

Maybe go for a Microsoft Certified DBA or one of the other Certifications. That can only do good for your resume.

In terms of the number of jobs, I would estimate that SQL Server or Oracle would have the most. However, IBM DB2 would also be a good choice.
