- What’s the niche?
- 
- PL/SQL that needs to interact with the client
- or that needs access to functionality in Perl
- regular expressions, CPAN modules,

- DBA may have many uses in the management of
- Advanced Queuing
- Replication
- Standby databases
- Gathering and processing performance stats
- DBMS_DEBUG - build custom tools
 
 
- Currently a figment of my fevered imagination
- 
- but maybe not for much longer
