As other people noted, it depends on where you are, what you know, if
the organization you are working for actually has a clue about training
people and some kind of methodology for how applications are developed.

Too often a database developer just throws some kind of microsoft tool
or ugly java/php code against oracle. Not always their fault, but
often a byproduct of the get it done quickly mentality.

I find myself (this time, not a typical thing) in agreement with Mr.
Morgans description "frustrated".
