I am planning to be a database administrator and I'm thinking to get a certificate for that. I already know the classes that I need to take but I'm not sure if the "oracle, linux, unix" are programming classes... I'm really really bad at math, and I always hear that a person has to be good in math to be a programmer ( or at least to make programs ). Can somebody tell me the if these (oracle, linux, unix) classes are gonna be programming??? Thanks.

Hi, I am a recent graduate with a BA in Computer Information Systems and am looking to become a database administrator but have not find a job yet. Would obtaining a certification be a smart idea and would that increase my chances of getting a job? I have been looking into the MCDBA certification or the Microsoft SQL Certification. I am just looking for some guidance into entering this field and how to go about it.

The hype of doing MCA seems like a rat race to me, ask anyone and the answer is same MCA but i have seen many people doing certificate courses like MCSE, CCNA , SAP and oracle etc. and earning a handsome salary in big IT companies like wipro, infosys, TCS etc. So what to do after doing BCA? here are the options---- 1. MCA (3 years of hard work not knowing the future prospects) 2. MBA (eyeryone wants to have one MBA degree, isn't it) 3. MCSE, CCNA, SAP, ORACLE (System administrators, networking is the in-thing these days, what u think?)
