    All,

    How you feel If you have quit good knowledge & experience in SQLSERVER But your manager asked to work in ORACLE ?

    Because i have been recruited here for SQL developer, But now they asking me to workin ORACLE and my manager is saying one more ORACLE project is coming, i will assing you to that project.

    How should i face this kind of situation ?

    How should i approach further ?

    is it better to change the company ? ( I have been here for just 6 months only)

    will i say to my manager politely like 'i am not comfort with ORACLE, can you recruit one ORACLE guy ? But i will do my best till he join'. is it ok ?

    It's really up to you. I'd start learning Oracle if it were me. I'd get the chance to expand my skills and learn a few things.

    Show him an article that says that Oracle developers make 50% more than SQL Server developers...:w00t:

    There is no "i" in team, but idiot has two.

    I had a similar experience on my first job. I was a trained Oracle Programmer and they wanted me to become a SQL Server DBA. I could have said no and moved to another job, but I choose to learn SQL Server. How did I do it? First I let them know that just because Oracle and SQL Server use SQL, it's not the same SQL (only the very basics are the same). THen I let them know that I would be willing to do SQL Server, but they would have to provide training for me. THis is especially important if you are going from SQL Server to Oracle. Oracle has different forms of SQL (PL/SQL, SQLPlus) and it's not similar to SQL Server at all - especially for DBAs.

    I have asked my manager to arrange a training,But they are not ready to arrange. Simply he is saying' "Just download the documents from website and read that and do start your work in ORACLE".

    But i clearly said, i am ready to work on ORACLE, But i need training,because i have to learn from the scratch ( Simply A,B,C....).

    But he is repeating his words. I don't know where it finish?

    I'd go with that advice for now. Start reading about Oracle, maybe buy a book and start learning.
