Depends on the shop. Depends on the need.
Depends on how you define 'development'.
The SQL and PL/SQL is the language for both Oracle Developer and DBA.
A DBA is supposed to have enough knowledge in these, eventhough not expected to do the coding in everyday life.
A production DBA is one who maintains the production environment/third party apps and may not get much involvement in coding.
A development DBA works very closely with developers.
So, it depends. Technical skills are almost the same. It is just the roles that differ.
Just google around. You may find nice reads like this

A few areas like Backup/recovery are primarily dealt by DBA ( but any developer can handle this too.). Other than that, almost all the skill sets are same.
