Have you already passed engg. or still a student?

Which degree will you get (or u got) once you complete the course? And what is your stream in engg?

If you are interested in Database design, then you should try to get a certification; may be OCA / OCP.

i am an 2009 engg passed out and working as a Web Analyst... and i want to migrate to database technologies, so will this Web Analyst experience will be calculated for my next job as real time experience.....? and which database technology is better to learn based on present job market.... plz suggest....

There are 2 types of experience they ask in interview.
1) Total IT experience
2) Relevant IT experience.

Your experience in web designing for a DBA post will be taken as total IT experience but its not a relevant experience.
Mostly, recruiter needs a "relevant" experience while hiring for specialized posts.

and which database technology is better to learn based on present job market.... plz suggest....

What database technology? What do you want to do with databases ?

There are different branches
- Database design
- Database development
- Database Administration
- Database performance tuning
- Datawarehousing

Each requires different way of thinking. There is scope for each path.

i want to design my career in oracle apps

how datawarehousing will be....?

Datawarehousing involves generating adhoc queries. Not the simple silly 10 line ones.

Wait.. You say 10 line queries are simple and silly?
Op is wanting to make career in that and instead of giving a advice, are you trying to make fun of him? :s

@Op,
Oracle apps is certainly a good career. But considering coming generation of cloud computing, data warehousing would be a very good option IMO.

Thanq guys for ur replies and i decided to learn ORACLE fist of all and then datawarehousing.....

Good choice IMO. All the best!

Happy learning.

Where am I making fun of him? All I mentioned was that DW doesn't involve simple queries.

@pavanpola Best wishes.
