Oracle is the most trusted and respected database management system for mid to large size application support installations. Oracle was built on a foundation of academic design that has held its own through over five major releases.
Because of, or perhaps in spite of, its success, Oracle has maintained a basic principal of "power through configurability" that the other major DBMS vendors have not shared. There have been many additions to the Oracle suite that present the skilled DBA with useful GUIs to monitor and manage Oracle instances. These tools, although a fine addition, are no match for an OCP certified Oracle DBA who understands the detailed underworkings of Oracle specific components including Oracle Installer, Oracle memory and disk management techniques and especially the v$ system table views and dba_ system tables.
