Personally, I am uncomfortable with the title expert. I've had it put in a
Bio or two, but never at my request. Even after 15+ years of Oracle, I still
find out every day that:
1. There are things I never quite understood right.
2. Things I didn't know that I thought I should know.
3. That there are things that I knew at one time, that I completley have
forgotten (I hate this one the worst I think).
All I know is that I'm fortunate to have a wide set of experiences, so I've
done a great number of things. I understand the basics, so the details are
not that hard to get to. I can read, and research, and think I have
something that I think only trully "experienced" DBA's have, a kind of
sixth-sence about problem solving.
Does that make me special? Nope, just means I've been doing this a while.
Put me in an ER and I'd be killing people all day long.

Amen! I have know many Oracle "experts" with really very little
knowledge.
When someone calls themselves an "expert" I usually find myself
recycling
their resume and looking for another candidate. I usually find these
people
are experts at BS and not Oracle at all.

I was once told "There are no experts, only specialists", and I've seen
no
reason to disagree.
