how does Exadata *not* require a DBA??? It is a fast, big machine, but just a fast big machine. It is not magic, you still need administrators

Hello Tom:
In the last few years we have seen how the number of information systems has increased, but also the automation of database administration processes.
Now with the new Exadata and SaaS technologies it seems that you could build a system without the need/help of a database administrator.
Do you think that databases will stay in local machines at local datacenters? If not, what will be the future for database administrators?

question from me: how does Exadata *not* require a DBA??? It is a fast, big machine, but just a fast big machine. It is not magic, you still need administrators

and regarding SaaS/PaaS/Daas (database as a service) aaS - they need DBA's to manage their systems. The location where you work may change - but the need is still there.

Do you think that databases will stay in local machines at local datacenters?

sure, for the near term at any rate. there will probably always be some amount of "internal systems".

And many people will opt to run their own private cloud (needs DBA's) internally as well.
