I have not decided which one to learn about, and was hoping others might give some pointers. I am thinking of taking a class on one of the leading RDBMS tools. The following considerations drive the decision: - market share: how easy to find work based on this tool? How similar is this tool to others that may be used at jobs I'd like to work in? - technical excellence: how good is this tool? - price & availability of instruction in the Bay Area - price of tool on personal computers Note: the return address of this message works -- please cc it. --------------180D89B4EAF27BB03EC23196 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> <TT>I may have to learn something about RDBMS tools.  I have not decided which one to learn about, and was hoping others might give some pointers.</TT><TT></TT> <TT>I am thinking of taking a class on one of the leading RDBMS tools.  The following considerations drive the decision:</TT><TT></TT> <TT>        - market share: how easy to find work based on this</TT> <TT>          tool?  How similar is this tool to others that may</TT> <TT>          be used at jobs I'd like to work in?</TT> <TT>        - technical excellence: how good is this tool?</TT> <TT>        - price & availability of instruction in the Bay Area</TT> <TT>        - price of tool on personal computers</TT><TT></TT> <TT>Note: the return address of this message works -- please cc it.</TT> <TT></TT> </HTML> --------------180D89B4EAF27BB03EC23196--
