Thanks. That makes sense. Good thing they don't expect the DBA to train the person, OJT...

For example, if you are the only person at your site who understands Oracle and management expects your new manager to perform DBA tasks, handle emergencies if you are out, etc., then they may ask you to talk to a candidate for competence at DBA tasks. If you are asked to do this, you should be very clear what this person would be expected to do.
