No. Because database will still be the core of the IT service, enterprises still need engineers have the expertise about database. But I think the responsibility of DBA is changing, due to evolution of the database technology and the movement to public cloud service. Since the third-party vendor will provide better and better database service (I would like to use service than product, because the rise of DBaaS on cloud), DBAs could shift some of their time from DB layer to the platform/application layer. Maybe there will be a new name for DBA, like DB/Data engineer.
