In the past few years I have seen that developers and DBAs having
knowledge of Oracle RDBMS, PL/SQL or DB2 getting job more easily. Not
only they are getting job more easily but getting job security and
good package as compared to SQL Server users.

I think the least adopted the technology, the more job security. Since
Oracle is an enterprise databases with complex architecture, only few
are able to get used to it. DB2 is slowly gaining market, but it is
new.

Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) Latest News about Oracle continues to hold the
lion's share of the market for database software, but two hulking
rivals, IBM (NYSE: IBM) Latest News about IBM and Microsoft (Nasdaq:
MSFT) Latest News about Microsoft, have chipped away at the company's
onetime stronghold, according to a new report from IDC.

Framingham, Massachusetts-based IDC said Oracle's share of the market
for object and relational database management software slipped below
40 percent, to 39.4 percent. IBM gained the most market share,
reaching a total of 33.6 percent of the sales, while Microsoft gained
1.4 points to take 11.1 percent of the market, making it the fastest-
growing vendor by percentage.

All other vendors held only single-digit shares, IDC said, with Sybase
(NYSE: SY) Latest News about Sybase ranking fourth at 3.6 percent,
about the same as the year before.

So your comments and logic are totally flawed because your premise is
wrong. There are more ORACLE and DB2 jobs because they are the two
biggest vendors in the market. The fact that Oracle's DB technology is
superior to most of the competitors is a factor in that market lead.
