So , you may have missed this job advert if you’re in the database end of things. Just give us 10% commission when you get the job.

OSi has developed new spatial databases running on a Windows 2000 platform with Oracle9i / 10g Enterprise Spatial edition. This gives OSi a single integrated data source, holding record set information and spatial data. The spatially integrated data store allows for the abstraction of data for spatial viewing and manipulation tools.

OSi is also running additional corporate databases on Oracle 9.2, Oracle 10g and Microsoft SQL platforms. As a result, OSi has a requirement for a Database Administrator to join the DB team.

This post is at Senior Technical Officer level in OSi’s structure. Reporting directly to a Team Leader in the Database Administration/Web/Backups area within IT, you will be responsible for the management and support of databases, primarily Oracle databases.

To indulge this fantasy , I’ve signed up to email job alerts from publicjobs.ie . It’s a fairly well designed site, does what it says on the tin and sure enough the emails come in (about 5 a week in the technical category).

You might already have spotted the problem. That’s technical category. There’s no specific IT roles listed. So I find myself wondering if I should apply for this job.

Update: Now that that the Pope’s children has finished on RTE , I’m wondering if David McWilliams is interested in this one. Quite why Economists are in the same category as IT people is beyond me (ok, apart from both being more than a bit nerdy)
