I also agree with the others, with the following question:

Does the person show an interest in keeping up with the state of the
art?

If yes, he'll likely go through the learning curve (ie, "why is grid
messed up after I patched?"), and be fine.

If no, he'll have an attitude like "GUI's are for clueless newbies"
and probably have 10% of usefulness he should have, as he struggles
against doing everything through the interface.

Hopefully he will keep an open mind and want to do things right.  It
may not even matter, as when he moves on the next person will blame
everything on him, whether deserved or not.

Can you give any specifics as to the cause of your feeling?  Simply
being taciturn may or may not be a bad sign - he may simply be
unwilling to say much until he becomes comfortable in the
environment.  Or, he may have the attitude problem, and you'll find
out the hard way.  It's tough to distinguish between stylistic
differences and problems, it might take 6 months to tell.

Of course, if you are all new to Oracle your expectations may need to
be adjusted too, and the problem may be in his approach to that as
opposed to technical issues.  Some places need a bastard dba from
hell, after all is said and done.
